It's easier to post my health updates here and then share the link then to post the update 20 different places.
So here we go....
Went to the Endocronolgist today.
I am still hyper thyroid and my heart rate was high AGAIN.
So we are increasing my dosage on the anti-thyroid pills (much more increasing and she may want to just remove the thyroid; she told me to start considering surgery) and we doubled the dosage on my beta blockers to get my heart rate to a more normal rate.
After that, I went to my GI.
My Crohn's is very aggressive and I have ulcers on my surgery site.....SO, I get to go back on my fun (not!) chemo pills, 6-MP (aka Mercaptopurine). I will start out at a slow dosage and work my way up to where I need to be. I have taken these before and I get extremely nauseous with them. so we start slow this time.
Here is a link on the 6-MP for this interested:

After 3 months (and another set of scopes) if things aren't better, I will pair the 6-MP with a biologic drug such as Cimzia or Remicade. Cimzia is injections that I would do myself. Remicade is an infusion done at the hospital via IV.
So keep me in your prayers! Hope everyone is doing well.
