Hypothyroid? Posted: 11-19-03 18:28pm
Hi,
i have just been diagnosed with a goiter
with multiple nodules on it or the
thyroid, i'm not sure which one. I won't
be seeing a specialist until december.
I'm a little nervous! Could this turn
out to be cancer? I also had blood work
done for hypothyroism and hyperthyroism.
I had these same tests done in july and
they came back normal. I do not have the
results of my new blood tests yet. I
have all the symptoms of being
hypothyroid. Does anyone out there know
if you can be hypothyroid, and have normal
a normal blood test?
Thank you for any replies!
Leslie

I am hypo. I had normal blood test. My
doctor was very good and noticing that my
thyroid was enlarged. I answered
questions in the doctor's office about
symptons. Out of 25 possible symptons, I
had 20. So that was his indication that
there may be something wrong. He
recommended I read the thyroid solution,
related to depression. I can not think of
the author's name. It is pretty good. I
am also reading, is your thyroid making
you fat, 28 day diet. If you have an hmo
try to get the doctor to refer you to an
endocrinologist. My aunt has graves
disease so I knew it runs in our family

Thanks carla for the reply. I have
regular insurance, so I picked the best
thyroid specialist in my area. I already
have the thyroid solution, and I just
ordered, is your thyroid making you fat?
I have almost all the symptoms of someone
that is hypothyroid, plus I have the
goiter and the nodules, so it wouldn't
surprise me if I am hypo. The only thing
that didn't come back normal on my blood
tests was my t3 uptake. It was to high,
whatever that means. I hope your doing
okay. Take care.
