Starting To Get Anxious

I have my fine needle biopsy on my thyroid Friday and I am starting to get a little nervous, anxious, whatever. I am not nervous about what is wrong as much as the fact I HATE needles. I would appreciate any thoughts or prayers on Friday. This group always come through and I know I can count on you. Thanks in advance.

Well, I don't know if I can calm you re the needles...I've not had a needle biopsy, but I can certainly pray for you! I have had lots and lots of needle pokes though and many more in my very near future. <_<

I've had it, and it wasn't bad at all. It was kind of like getting a tooth filled. They give you a little numbing shot, which wasn't bad, just a tiny pinch. Then you really don't feel anything except a painless pressure. It's over really quick, too. It was only about 5 minutes start to finish.

What I didn't like was feeling numbness in my throat for an hour or so after it was over. My throat already felt contricted because of the nodules, and the numbness made it worse. I wouldn't try to eat anything until the numbness wears off, or only soft food.

I had the FNA, and it was no big deal. The doc didn't do any numbing shot. They use a very thin needle so it doesn't hurt. If I wasn't paying attention I probably wouldn't have noticed it even.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
