A couple years ago a doctor wanted me to get a thyroid ultrasound but I refused one because my blood work was ok. Cut to today, I am always cold, depressed, tired, and having trouble with breathing and memory. Another doctor definitely wants an ultrasound now. I’ve gained a good amount of weight, but now I can’t even lose 1 pound no matter how much I diet and exercise. My mother suffers from a thyroid condition as well. It’s so sad but I kind of want to have a thyroid problem or SOMETHING just so I can actually be treated.

I want to go to the gym and cheer up. However, I can barely drag myself out of bed in the morning.
Why would I refused an expensive ultrasound test? Because I thought it might be medically unnessary if the blood work is ok.
Oh and I do have an enlarged thyroid or a lump or something- hence the doctor wanting an ultrasound, plus my family history. Sean G. I promise you wouldn’t make it a week suffering like I’ve been suffering.
PS My previous doc wanted me to get an ultrasound PRIOR to doing any bloodwork whatsoever. So my mom stepped in and said no, you need bloodwork first.
The more I read this the more angry I get with Sean G. I’ve gone with many undiagnosed illnesses because of people and even Doctors like him who just tell us it’s all in our heads and it’s all our fault.

I was wondering if it was hard to carry baby’s to full term with Hashimoto’s… I’m not sure if i’m pregnant yet.. But I’ve heard that It can be very dangerous to get pregnant with thyroid disease… Anyone with information, that would help thanks (:

Hello, I have been having vertigo for almost three months. I have seen two ear nose and throat doctors and neither one could determine what was causing my dizziness. In January I had a miscarriage and had the typical d and c procedure. However, I noticed that after I had the miscarriage that’s when the dizziness started. When I went to the ear, nose, and throat doctors both told me that my thyroid was enlarged. I would like to know if anyone thinks my thyroid is causing these problems.

When I first got dizzy I went to the er and was told I had fluid in my ears. But within two weeks the fluid was gone. But I still have the dizziness. It has improved, but I mostly have it when I change from a standing to a sitting position. Could someone please tell me if my thyroid could have caused the fluid in my ears and as a result caused the symptom of dizziness? I would really appreciate it if someone could please answer this question. Thank you and be blessed!

Hypothyroidism runs high in my family. Probably effects 7 out of 10.
About two years ago I experienced some problems and was tested for thyroid by a metobolic endocrinologist. Tests showed normal thyroid activity but I am still having issues. What are all the signs and should I go for a second test?

My wife has symptoms that could be low estrogen or a thyroid issue. Her symptoms are thinning hair, fatigue,fast heart rate from time to time and tired most times. We just had a baby and she is nursing however, she’s had the symptoms before we got pregnant. Can her doctor check the thyroid and estrogen levels even while she is nursing the baby? I was told that the labs can come back abnormal because she is nursing.
I forgot to mention her thyroid levels always come back normal.

I was diagnosed when i was pregnant with my 3rd child. How serious is this condition? I have been losing weight since i had my first child four years ago. But over the last weeks my weight has been decreasing extremely. Is there anyway to gain weight with this condition?

can you get cosmetic surgery (such as rhinoplasty, chin implant etc) done if you have an under active or overactive thyroid problem?

If not why and how will it interfere with the surgery?

I went in on Friday for a colposcopy and a biopsy due to testing positive for HPV. Not a fun experience might i add! I mentioned to my doctor that I was only having 1 day periods, followed by brown discharge. She sent me to have blood work done to test my Thyroid. My husband and I have been TTC (trying to conceive) for 8 months now and have been unsuccessful. What would testing my thyroid have to due with my husband trying to get pregnant? Thanks all!
