Will I End Up With A Thyroid Condition?

I am 15 and a girl and I am african american.Thyroid conditions run on my dad’s side of the family and some of them have wound up with goiters and everything.None of them lost their hair that I know of though.One does have thin hair but I thin that is due to her age.But my other relative who has it has longer and thicker hair than I do.They all gained a lot of weight though.They never lost it either.I also gain weight pretty fast.I am surprised that I have lost this much.I am super scared.All my life,I have always had a weight problem.I weigh about 170 lbs and am 5"7.However,everyone says I look about 140 lbs.I have lost 10 lbs from not really doing anything,I just suddenly lost it and I haven’t gained it back.(I was 180 lbs and now I am 170 lbs.)I have nice shoulder(okay,it’s past my shoulder) length hair and it is permed and I have not noticed any significant hair loss.But I am scared that I will end up losing all of my hair to a thyroid condition in the future.I show a lot of symptoms of it.I know all of you are going to say,just go get tested for it.Is there anything I can do to prevent this?What can I do?If I discover it early,will I not lose my hair?

I am terrified of losing my hair.It took years for it to reach this length.I already have naturally fine hair and I can’t afford to lose any.I have cried thinking about a possible thyroid condition taking this from me.I am almost to break back down in tears just thinking about it.What should I do?Is there a great chance that I will get it?
Can both types of thyroidism run in a family?
Should I be worried?

Does anyone have any opinion on taking a natural remedy known as flayvay?

I have come across a natural remedy that almost sounds too good to be true and was hoping someone could give me some feedback this..currently taking adderall for treatment of adhd and it is working magically, but worried about long term side effects as it is a controlled substance. I am really looking for a natural approach. Feedback on FLAYVAY would be much appreciated 🙂 Thanks.

Cholesterol vs Saturated fat?

The doctor says that I have high cholesterol but I have been eating foods that say 0 mg Cholesterol in the food label, but may have some mg of saturated fat.

What is the difference ?

I’m not sure how I can eat any differently to lower this. I’m already on one cholesterol lowering drug and would hate to have to take another one.

I’m so confused about what to do differently or what to do next.
