I received a phone call yesterday from my Endocrinologist. She had me take another Ultra Sound Scan of my Thyroid, and four Thyroid blood tests plus other blood work. I need to be on Thyroid medication she said.
I am officially Hypothyroid, low range she said. I am not sure what is wrong yet, a name for it, since I don't see her until the end of August. I don't know which test I failed. I have been having it scanned for four years, because I have nodules and a goiter, and choking on foods. I had a biopsy done on the biggest nodule 4 years ago, it was benign, TG, but kept growing. The mass is enlarged since last year. I am not sure on this years scan. One doctor wanted to remove half of my Thyroid, new one said no, never. I asked for a copy of my blood work. This is the first doctor who said no to me, that she wanted to discuss it first. I will have to wait until the end of August for the dx name. There are many types of Hypothyroidism, most MSer's get Hashimoto's disease, I think. Did I say I hate doctors? LOL My questions are: 1. How many of you have Thyroid problems and MS? 2. What are your symptoms? 3. What medication do you take for it? Thanks for any thoughts or ideas even if you don't have Thyroid problems.
