Well, it is Monday. Weather looks good, Bike is running great and my apartment is a mess. I am going to dedicate some time this week, to clean up a few places. Then maybe next week another spot, and so on. Eventually I can reclaim my space, from the clutter! One battle at a time! LOL
I got up today at 6:30 am to go to the VA. got 5 holes poke in me, 2 blood labs, a covid shot and a shingles shot then an IV for the CT scan. No Cancer, Cholesterol is down. Everything points to me being healthy. Except, no energy, difficulty breathing and dramatic weight loss, including loss of muscle.

So, good news: no malignancy. Bad news: still unsure what is causing my issues. There is a possibility that my energy may improve, some, with the new dosage of thyroid medicine. Mostly unlikely. Also I am curious how the Nicotine patches will work. Hopefully it will be enough to get over the hill AND save me a bunch of moolah! That's the big update, more to follow in the coming months.

I hope the Endocrinologist finds something that helps, a woman I know has to see one about her Hyperthyroidism.
She has the opposite issue, uncontrolled weight gain despite minimal eating, regular Doctors assumed she was just lying about how much she ate. The medication she's on now is helping.
Good luck with all the tests.

The Endocrinology Dept and my Physician, went over my file together and determined my weight loss is not related, or rather, the amount of weight lossed is not related. I do have a meeting with the Neurology dept but, because they are so busy, the appointment is in August, another Month +. It'll be a struggle, but, I should survive until then.
