No symptoms that I know of. When I first went to my primary doc a year or year and a half ago (first time in 25ish years) I told her I felt fatigued. Did blood work and ended up with a vitamin D supplement. No big deal. I started taking it and I felt a little better. Changed some diet habits and felt a little bit more better. In April of last year they had me do an ultrasound on my thyroid and it showed a nodule. I was told no worries, follow up in a year. They also set up a meeting with the endocrinologist. Well that is what finally happened yesterday. I figured they must not be to worried since it took ten months to see them. Then they hit me with that. She’s telling me it’s hashimoto’s and that’s why I’m questioning the diagnosis. Everything I looked up prior dictated that requires a biopsy to diagnose properly. Also when I questioned treatment all I was told was a pill a day. Didn’t tell me if it was a hormone supplement (natural or synthetic) or a vitamin/ mineral. I was just irritated with the whole thing. I didn’t even find the interior design of the office to be soothing. It showed on my vitals. My blood pressure was up and my heart rate was elevated. I was uncomfortable to say the least.What does the doctor say is wrong with your thyroid? Are you having any symptoms?
@Ryan. A pill isn’t really a big deal. I just want to know what it is and side effects. Also want to know for sure what the problem is and how to fix it.
Before I forget again, and back to the chain of events. Since I added the cold plunge and exercise routine I’m feeling much better. I won’t say I feel like I’m 20 but I definitely have much more energy than I did in the past five or so years.
