Re: Re: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis -DON'T WORRY , ENDO

[Guest guest]

JUST WANTED TO HELP U STOP WORRING IF U HAVE NOT YET SAUGHT A

ENDOCRONOLOGIST FOR FOLLOW-UP. SOMETIMES FAM. DR. WRONG. BUT IF IT HELPS, I

HAVE LIVED WITH NO THYROID OR PARA'S EITHER, MOST PERSONS HAVING THYROID REMOVED

ARE LEFT WITH SOME. THIS WAS TAKEN OUT IN 77, AND I WAS VERY YOUNG, DID NOT

TAKE MY MED'S EVERYDAY AS TOLD, AS DID NOT KNOW THE SERIOUSNESS OF IT, NOW I DO.

I ALMOST DIED BEFORE THEY FOUND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, I HAD WHAT THEY CALL A

THYROID STORM A FEW MORE MINS. GETTING TO ER AND WOULD NOT BE HERE, YET I DID

NOT FEEL SICK, JUST A HUGE THROAT. TODAY THEY REMOVE THE THYROID WITH A PILL, I

HAD IT CUT OUT. BUT I SAY DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT UNTIL U SEE THE SPECIALIST AS

THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT STRESS CREATES MORE ILLNESS OF THE

THYROID BEST TO U. I NOW TAKE A SYNTHROID EVERY DAY AND WILL THE REST OF MY

LIFE THAT IS IT. SHARON

Hashimoto's thyroiditis - I have been diagnosed with this. I was not told that

it would kill my thyroid. I have not been concerned about my thyroid as I am on

a low dose of medicine and was never told to be concerned.

What do I need to do, what doctor can tell me more?

Thanks,

Annie
