Welcome! I know it can seem scary at first but really you can control it. If you have any question feel free to ask me or add me as a friend.

Sanaya2, do you have Hashimoto's Disease or just hypothyroidism? If you have just one of them that makes a bit of a difference when it comes to information.

The ranges should be. I am from SK.

I do the same thing. I always fast before blood work and I also take my medication in the evening because I get better results and feel better during the day then if I were to take it in the morning. (under a Dr's. guidance) But really jus talk to your dr. and ask what he/she wants you to do.

Well, with Hashimoto's Disease one gets goiters (big nodules) and many small ones. They do not pose a threat of any sort, mine are managed through medication and living a better life style. I hope this helps.

Hey isys5, did your doctor look at you Thyroid anti-bodies?? Hashimoto's disease, My TSH was always good and the T4 and T3 were always high (From Canada as well). It was not until my Hashimoto's deisease got worse that I went hypo. All it takes is a simple blood test to find out. They should be able to tell right away…

This is what I do as well. It can be hard but when you hear of the success stories you can't help but be apart of that. Even your friends and loved ones cheering you on keeps ya going.

Don't worry I had 2 goiters as well. They both went down with levothyroxine. The scan is just so they know how big they are nothing to worry about. I know I am getting an ultrasound of my thyroid to look at the goiter and see the size of them. So, long as you are taking your medication and eating properly you have nothing…

Don't we all.. Don't worry, it is just a little set back.

Got my Lab work back.. Everything is in the middle of Normal! It has never been this low... I am happy. So, I tell my dr. that I am still tired and not wanting to eat. He told me that my B-12 could be low and to start taking B-12. He also said that because I have been getting throat infection that my body has not even…

Don't feel bad! I have been on meds for 11 years and I still feel like crap. My dr. wanted me to be in the normal range first. Now that I am older I am going to see if we can get to the point where I don't feel like crap.

Damn!! These guys look mighty fine!

I was diagnosed 11 years ago. I was 8 at the time. My mom and grandma saw a lump on my throat and they thought that it was mesals. This lump was huge, the size of a golf ball. When I went to the Dr. he ordered lab work. My TSH was high my T-3 was normal and my T-4 was low. The Dr. looked at me and told me I should be dead.…

When I was diagnosed my TSH was off the chart. The dr. looked at me and told me that I should be dead... that was in 2001. My family Dr. has been looking after mine. I had to alter my meds when I started puberty. I have been looking after my weight loss, no help from the Dr. I gainned so much in 2 years... that I lost 32…
