Thyroid has always been good, although my mother and my two children have thyroid issues. My mother had hashimotos disease, my son over active and my daughter has under active. Just this last week I asked a different dr about my previous test and he said it did show a slight problem and should be followed up on. I don't understand how it would skip me. I also have markers for Lupus, another of my mothers 8 connective tissue diseases I thank you all so very much.0

Be careful with doctors telling you that your thyroid (usually from a near-useless TSH-only test) is "fine or "normal. Accepted lab ranges for what is "normal" vary, but even worse, the ranges go up to TSH levels that are unacceptably high. For example, a TSH of 5.0 falls into the "normal" range, but most hypothyroid patients fel their best when TSH is between 0.5 and 1.5. Most doctors have no clue about this and simply rely on the lab test for guidance, ignoring the patient's symptoms -- some of which can be life-destroying.
The more important tests are Free T4 and Free T3, and anti-TPO.
If you do go in to discuss your lab results, get a copy. Always get a copy. And if you have concerns about what any doctor tells you (the all-in-your-head/anxiety/hysterical female diagnosis is common) find a reputable forum where thyroid issues are discussed.

I am 50 years old so time is not on my side. My husband and I adopted a infant son two years ago. I need to do this for him and myself.

I'm nervous!! We've all been taught that some fats
are "bad" for us. My family has a history of heart disease,
high blood pressure, and breast cancer. I am worried that if
I eat butter, cream, cheese, etc., it will increase my risk, etc.
Any thoughts?1 -
I have read a lot about this lifestyle change and believe that whatever ails you, you will no long have to worry about. And thank you, we love our baby boy so very much. It is life changing, but in a great way. My husband never had children of his own. He is 6 yrs younger than me, so we adopted. We also have 3 grandchildren. 2 boys, 5 & 6 and a girl 2.5 yrs old. They love their uncle. Lol. His name is Matoe, but they call him baby Tatoe. Bahahaha.0
