I woke to another lab result- I thought everything had come back and was in range but I had my thyroid antibody panel come back high. After much googling (actually that is a lie and it was one google) it said it typically means that the hypothyroidism is caused by hashimoto's. That freaked me out until more googling and it seems like with routine follow up and my levothyroxine, I'll be good to go. As long as Diablo will love me with a giant goiter, I'll make it through. 😬😅

oh no.. hoping the best outcome for you...have you looked up goitrogenic foods??  

DP, I have Hashimotos. It's no picnic and meds often need to be adjusted. It will sneak up on you like no body's business and Bam..you'll feel like crap until you don't ..tiredness, achiness, brain fog, and moodiness! Oh joy.... The worst is the lethargic feeling. It happens to me about 2-3 times a year. I had a huge goiter at first. It looked like I had an Adams apple! In the 1990s they always took out thyroid. I wouldn't recommend that, unless absolutely necessary.Best of luck with this. 💜 

I had Graves disease. I was given the option of having the thyroid removed, radioactive iodine to destroy the thyroid or medication with potential life threatening side effects. My thyroid was overactive. Never got a goiter. I took the medication for about a year and was fine for about 7 years or so when I got Graves disease and again took the medicine. My thyroid results have been normal now since about 2009. They told me it's common to go from overactive to underactive thyroid. Don't know if it's the same in reverse 

You’ll be ok DP. Roll with the punches. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. My best to you as you navigate all this stuff. xo ❤️🙏🏻 

Sending love and hugs to you.❤️
