I am going to be very hard so some of you may not like what I have to say and if not please keep your opinions to yourself if they are not nice. My life is destroyed from my Thyroid. The doctors let it go too long with Hyper and Graves disease. By the time I had the Thyroid taken out, from being so sick, it cause me to have a pre-cancer condition call Barrett's esophagus, that is were your stomach lining tries to take over your esophagus. I was living with a heart rate of 122 for months on end. Once I had the thyroid removed, and I did the radiation, I believe that is the only way to really see how much of the thyroid is bad. My husband as many do not know is a nuclear engineer. So I had him look into the procedure for me. We tried the medicine first, I had many different specalist look at me and weekly blood test. It was living hell. It does take many years for the right dose of meds to get you to what they call normal, then things can change, like me.
I had the migraines and was sick to my stomach from the morgs, hence did not take my meds like I should have. Right now I should be in a hospital, my doctor trust me, that I will be carefull, my thyroid numbers are the worst he has seen in hypo thyroid. Again, please see as many specialist as possible, most important don't wait. Every organ depends on your Thyroid. They should not just go on a TSH number, there are T-4 that is the most important blood test, I also back in 1997 had one of the highest the docs have ever seen. I don't mean to scare anyone, this is nothing to play around with. When I was in nursing I use to think oh that person just has thyroid disease. Well not anymore, I make sure my teenage girls are tested, it does run in families. No GP can do this only a endocrinolgist. You will be okay, please don't wait. The damage it has done to my body is horrible. Thank God my parents had good genes to fight things off. Take care, Unclear
