And is there anyway to check it without going to the doctor. I imagine there isn’t, but I figure it doesn’t hurt to ask.

How did you discover you had a problem? Did you feel like something was in yout throat? Were you told you had an enlarged thyroid, get it checked out & then told it was nothing?

ok so my friend bought a diet pill and she has a thyroid condition the one where her metabolism isn’t as fast as the rest of ours… i’ve told her not to take it because of health issues and to do it the natural way. she says it doesn’t matter because it works like a laxative for her, but is this true? what do i tell her?

Whose had/has a thyroid condition how has your experience been? have you had any other health issues because of your thyroid condition?

I’ve had a complaint about an employee saying that someone smelled alcohol on his breath. He also has a thyroid condition and I have heard that sometimes this can produce a similar smell. Anyone have any information?

Is there any reason why thyroid conditions and drinking green tea don’t mix? If you’re on thyroid medication, is there something in green tea that will react badly, and do you know why?

Okay…my mom, 2 sisters, a grandma, grandpa nad aunt all have thyroid conditions. I had mine tested last june and it came back normal. I am still experiencing the same symptoms and they are getting worse. My hair is getting more fine and falling out. Im constantly tired and have no energy. Ive been having loose stools almost everytime i eat for the last couple of weeks. I also am losing weight although I have not changed my eatting habits.

Is it time to get my thyroid checked again or could it be something else? Any Advice?

I have hypothyroidism with flare ups of Hashimotos disease(swelling of glands extremly tired difficulty swallowing colds and flu like symptoms) My Dr. is telling me to come off my birthcontrol pills because of the hormones and have my tubes tied, then return in 4 months to discuss the removal of my thyroid, He is a specialists and is the second one I have seen, the first one did nothing, I have had nodules biopsied and the results came back inconclusive, I am scared he didn’t want to do any more needle biopsys because only 1 in 100,000 people have thyroid cancer and I wouldn’t be one of them he said. I have had this condition since I was 14 and I am 35 now I also have hudreds of tiny tiny nodules around the thyroid. Should things be moving a little quicker then this?
Dr.’s are only human they do make mistakes I am on my second specialists. 2 specialists in a 222 mile range from our area plus insurance won’t pay for those out of network Dr.s. This is a place of questions, doesn’t mean I will follow through all opinions but all are greatly appreciated.
