Are we suppose to be getting checked for this?

It is a disease in which the autoimmune system produces antibodies that attack the thyroid glands continuously until the glands are destroyed. This can occur over a number of years.

Hi All, If you are pre-tx or post-tx and suffering from fatigue then there is a good chance that your adrenals are struggling because of your chronic infection. This is even more likely if you have had HCV for a long time, as I did. I hope I am now on the way to SVR but it is too early to know, anyway my fatigue did not go away after tx. I came to the knowledge of adrenal stress via looking at the thyroid hormone deficiency that I had.

As far as I have been told by my Endo, Hashimoto's (When your immune system does not recognize your thyroid, it attacks it and renders it unproductive, or over time destroying it) placing you in an Underactive Thyroid state, I do not know if Graves is an immune condition, I just thought it was an extreme level of Overactive Thyroid, meaning your thyroid would be secreting to much hormone into your system, If any one out there with Graves would like to add, feel free, I know thyroid is heredi

I also have Hashimoto's. I am TTC as well. I found out I was pregnant in March but miscarried. The good news is it wasn't because of my Thyroid. You do need to go on medication to regulate it though. Unregulated Thyroid problems will cause infertility and miscarriage. You need to get on some meds to help regulate it and then you should be able to carry a child. Good luck to you.

I also had a cough that is going away for about 2 weeks now which produced clear sputum at times. I also had my thyroid removed about 2 years ago. The lumps are both movable and not painful.

Can these lumps be lymph nodes?
