maybe goiter? I was wondering if anyone with Hypothyroidism could give me their advice on this. Back when I was 19 or 20 (about 10 yrs ago) my family doctor said my thyroid was enlarged and I had hypothyroidism. I was then put on synthroid, and being young and stupid, I neglected to take it. Well the years went by, and I saw another doctor a couple of years ago who told me that my thyroid wasn't enlarged and nothing showed up on my blood work. I had bloodwork done because she suspected PCOS....I have virtually every symptom of that. Well, a couple of months ago there was a "lump" in my neck...that's the best word I can find to describe it. It was in the same location as the thyroid and you could feel it very easily. It was about the size of a golf ball. I decided to wait a few days to see what happened...I'm not the type to call the doctor for every little thing. So a week went by and it went away. Was that a goiter? It was kinda weird...I could feel it if I bent my head down and everything, without touching it. I'm just confused on how one doctor could say I had hypothyroidism and the next one said I didn't. Someone told me it can "correct" itself. I have recently moved into another state, I have new insurance and made a doctor's appt for May 8th (family doc) and also one for May 24th (GYN). I'm hoping to figure some of these things out sooner then later because I'm getting married October 13th and we are planning on TTC right away. Any thoughts on this? |
