One scan did find a lump, but that doctor said it was more of a muscle mass, not a lump in/on my thyroid.
I went to four different doctors and one endocrinologist (sp). I heard that sometimes getting the doctor to determine a thyroid issue can be hard - some people, the first blood test finds it, but others, not so easy.
Any ideas?? |
Jenn, I had the same problem. They tested my thyroid and said it was in the normal range. I went to another doctor and she said it was low normal, but since I was having symptoms she gave me medication. It made a world of difference in how I felt and gave me back some energy. (I was super tired all the time before). Now I just have to lose this weight!!
So, I would go back to the doctor and let them know you want to try medication. I am on Armour Thyroid.
