Hiya,
I've been so pleased to find a forum like this, the post are fantastic!
I think my brain is going into overdrive, as well as my thyroid, and am panicing a bit!
I have been to my GP for the blood test which came back positive for an Overactive Thyroid and am waiting to see the speciliast on 29th Nov. I have also had a scan on my neck. I am reading up on this online and it has made me feel a bit nervous about it all!
I am 28 years old and cannot remember when my thyroid started to swell, as far as my mum is concerned no-one in my family has had this, although she was adopted so who knows about her side of things (is it definately inherited?). About 3 years ago I was 13 stone and decided to loose some weight and am now 10 stone 4, which I am able to maintain altough I eat a lot of rubbish which surprises me why I haven't put the weight back on. That is my only sympton, luckily not piling on the pounds!
The questions that are going round in my head are, if silly sorry!
* Is this effecting my fertility? I am off the pill now and looking to to get pregnant
* Am I going to be on drugs for the rest of?
* Am I going to put on weight with the treatment? Obviously I dont want to!
* Am I worrying too much? By the way I am not a worrier at all, have to wait for 13 weeks to see a consultant is playing tricks on my mind ;)
There are many more but I just wanted to find a forum like this where I can see how other people are doing?
Looking forward to hearing your story
