Hello all, new here & looking for advice/ideas?

May 7, 2011

Hi all,

Ive been diagnosed Hypo since 1999. Had my fair share of good & bad times, weeks

of feeling great & then weeks when... well you know!

Anyway, Ive been feeling progressivly low since March & last friday just hit

rock bottom, I was literally a heap of person unable to do anything but sit.

As well as weight gain, slow thoughts, feeling cold and messed up periods over

the last few weeks I have developed a goiter... and its getting bigger. My GP

noticed it before I mentioned it, he took bloods and Ill get the results on

Tuesday.

Does anyone have any idea of what might happen now? I dont suppose my results

will change the fact that I have a goiter and I need to get rid of it.

I take 250mcg levothyroxine daily, since July 2009. The only result I can

remember atm was TSH at 19.4 in Feb. I dont think Ive ever had a 'normal'

reading but there have been lots of times when Ive been well & I dont really

think my results have much to do with how I feel anyway.

Re the weight gain... I was 80kgs in Oct 2010, 100kgs at Xmas and sine then my

hubbie & I have eaten & excercised the same... he's lost 10lbs and Ive gained

16kgs!!!

My neck is noticably swollen, my voice catches and whislt swallowing food is not

hugley affected, I do feel like I have something in my throat all of the time.

Its horrid, I can feel it stuck there on the front of my neck.

Im an otherwise healthy 30 yr old woman, Im already covering my neck with

scarves... pleaase someone tell me it will clear up & I can go back to being my

usual knackered but pretty self?!
