It sounds Hypo , But It could be doing this thing called waxing and waning... meaning sometimes it is normal and sometimes it is out of whack. Since Thyroid is an auto immune it can very , esp when your body is under stres or if you are fighting any other sickness/illness. It also could be Hashimotos.... Antibodies could be present on a tuesday..and attack you thyroid then on the next tuesday there be no sign of them..then 3 weeks later they appear....What is you Dr saying?
The nurse just called and said it was elevated and they were concerned about my thyroid. I had my thyroid US yesterday and it went from 15mm to 1 1/2 inches. I am also having strange earache like symptoms on left side. So maybe my thyroid is pressing against some nerve??? What a puzzle!! I see my doctor today at 2 and can finally make more sense out of my symptoms. Oh, they also said my white blood count was not elevated. I will be sure to post my news today.

Great questions, hope all of our answers help you. Definitely get a surgeon who does lots and lots of thyroidectomies and hopefully not at a teaching hopsital since a resident might do the surgery not the dr. you thought would do it. My scar faded greatly most people don't even notice it now.
He than did a 2 day nuclear iodine test which came back that my thyroid was not making any hormone but was just releasing a large amount of thyroid hormone. He said I had thyroiditis and we would redo blood work and an ultrasound in July. He also said that normally thyroiditis is not reoccurring and he would be surprised if I had had it 8 years. I'm so confused, this just doesn't sound right to me, how can my thyroid be releasing so much hormone but not making any?
There is more of a chance to be or become thyroid than the average population if someone in the family has/had thyroid. If this is the case, and not thyroid yet, a person should be checked on a regular bases because a person might turn thyroid in the future.
However, it's no guarantee which one. All my family is hypothyroid and I am Hyper/Graves' - the only one in a few generations that we know of.
In many cases, having an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter) doesn't mean your thyroid gland is malfunctioning. And adipose (fat) tissue within the thyroid gland is stated to be uncommon to rare. Do you have your lab results?
Well now... To me there are two sides of the story.
on one hand, so many patients go into the doctors office and just "generalized" there issues - so in respect to the doctor, when they see dozens of patients just complaining, then they could be lost too.... right? For example - Going in and saying " I feel awful." and then asked by them "what's wrong?" and they get a reply like "Oh, just odd - or off - just sick.
My Endo says my thyroid is sputtering, and although treated on Synthroid, some of my symptoms come and go and some remain. She says when it stops sputtering my symptoms will abate. I can't find any research on this. Is this true? How long is the sputtering phase of Hashimoto's? Will the symptoms truly go away?
I understand that some woman can get pregnant with Hashimoto's if they are treated. Is this always the case?
I need to get answers to a few questions for a research project on Thyroid Disease (prefferably from an expert or doctor)...I would be seriously grateful if these questions could be answered..
1. What is the most common cause of Thyroidism?
2. Do you think there are enough effective treatments?
3. I understand Thyroidism is more common in women but at what age are they likely to develop it and is there any common cause for it happening at that age?
4. Do you think homeopthic remedies work?
5.
, and will answer here.
Stopping thyroid (and/or the parlodel) medication all of a sudden without treating the original cause (or looking for the original cause and then treating it) is likely to have a patient's lab numbers go out of wack again, and perhaps getting symptoms again (including: trouble getting pregnant; miscairrage; and lowered IQ in a newborn child).
Have you talked with your doctor about your apprehension? Maybe you could spend a little more time asking questions and getting answers that satisfy you. It sounds like you are hoping to get a reply from Dr. Lupo. He doesn't reply in this members support group. If you want a medical opinion, repost this on Dr. Lupo's board. I think it is titled something like hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer.
