Health Problem
Posted 04-29-2009 at 06:06 PM by miZZPortah
I think I may be suffering from hyperthyroidism. I looked up some of the symptoms today and I have a lot of them nervousness, anxiety and I also have difficulty swallowing. Sometimes it feels as if my throat is closing up. Also, my weight fluctuates I lose a few pounds and then I go back to my original weight without even changing my diet. My maternal grandmother had thyroid problems she had a goiter and they used radiation to get rid of it. They still use this method to test for thyroid issues today. I also feel as if I have a high metabolism because sometimes after I eat I don't even feel full. I think this is linked to my shedding problem. I've been taking pretty good care of my hair but I still have some breakage and shedding even though I shampoo and dc every week on schedule. Anyway, I plan on making a doctor's appointment to get tested for it and treatment if in fact that is what I have. Just one more hurdle to overcome I suppose. I just hope my hair doesn't break off too badly. I should probably be more worried about my health than my hair but I really do not want to have to start my journey all over again.

I have a goiter. I have been having some of the same problems you're having. I went to the doctor I don't have Hyper or hypo thyroidism just a goiter. It's really furstrating. They are not doing anything for it. Every once in a while I have test but that's it. I think your test can come out normal and your thyroid levels can still be off.Posted 07-18-2009 at 12:17 AM by EbbyRo
