I was tested for thyroid problems several times over the years and it always came back "normal". Apparently it's not that easy to diagnose. My diagnosis (autoimmune thyroid disease/hypo) came last year after more extensive testing by an endocrynologist because I was symptomatic. They actually determined it by the antibodies in my blood because the thyroid levels themselves were very confusing to most doctors. I recently found out that my aunt and a great aunt on my mother's side also have/had thyroid problems. |
