Has anyone ever had Thyroid problems? Ever had a lump in your throat, what can be done for it?

I have to go and get an ultrasound, I really don’t know what that will tell me but I have a soreness on the side of my neck (not really a lump) As you can tell I hate going to Doctors. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

What should I do with my hypothyroidism?

I got thyroid cancer 4 years ago, went through the whole sugery removal, radiation, the works. Now I"m fine. My TSH level is fine. I take hormone replacments pills everyday. Anyone who is hypothyroidism knows losing weight feels like trying to get into the olympics. Now, everytime I go to my doctor to ask what I can do to lose weight, he give me BS answers…..join and gym, eat less, eat healthier. Done all the that. Within those 4 years, I still work out on a regular basis, been eating super healthy, still do. I don’t lose a pound. I"m not overweight, but I would like to shed some pounds. It’s embrassing to be working out so much, and not have anything to show for it. So if theirs any sugestion or similar stories, please share.
Also, I can’t eat breakfast, which is the most important meal. Because My medication requires to be taken on an empty stomach. So I must take it first thing in the morning. And I have to wait an hour to eat, we can’t eat in school. I have the thyroid diet book, didn’t help too much. and when I say I eat healthy, i’m not just talking about just no sweets. it’s not meat other than fish, no chips, no soda. it’s as healthy as it can get. i herad about putting more fiber into your diet helps? I live on broccoli… literally. it’s my favorite food so that doesn’t work. cutting calories doesn’t work. working out everyday isn’t going well…low carb doesn’t work…
also my goal isn’t crazy… if i eve see myself drop 5-10 pounds i’ll jump for joy. it doesn’t have to even be a ..lose X amt of pounds in 2 seconds… I have all the time in the world.. I just really need some advice

Problems with tension leading to health problems any suggestions?

My lovely gf is often aggrivated by her mother and this has caused a psychological problem that has lead to her having a thyroid infection. The GP has noted that it is due to tension caused by frustration and anger. How can I help her change her diet and give her practices that will encourage a calmer mind (mental health concerns). I have considered Yoga and some Buddhist meditation for her any other ideas? Thanks guys.

Anyone had problems with their thyroid gland? what were your symptoms?

I went to the doctor and told her that my neck sometimes got a bit swollen. She checked it out and at first glance she said I might have a thyroid problem and possibly a goiter. I took the blood test and everything came back normal. I was wondering what were some of the symptoms of someone who has had it. Could it be that there is something wrong but not noticable yet? Some of the things that I have been experiencing is persistant nausea, breathing problem which is not caused by asthma, and some more than usual hair loss. Is this something that could be related? Any information would help. Thanks.

I need information on thyroid problems?

I have a thyroid problem in which the doctor told me that my thyroid wasnt functioning at all. I am only 20 years old and I feel weak all the time. They put me on synthroid and said that it should stabalize it or something to actually make it function properly. They said my thyroid should be a .4 and mine was a 30. I had blood work done a week ago and they said that the medicine had actually not worked and they want me to double the dosage. Someone told me that I should be on a different kind of medicine for it because it isnt functioning at all. I am kinda dumb when it comes to this subject, I know nothing about it or what can happen to me. If anyone has any information about this please let me know.

Could lack of weight loss be caused by hypothyroidism?

I’ve been seriously working out ( cardio 3-4x week, weights 3x week) for the past 16 weeks. I’ve been watching what I eat, cutting out sugar and adding veggies. However I’ve only lost 1/2lb!!! I’ve lost 4 1/4 inches which is good but I expected much better results. I have been extra tired and felt "off" for awhile. Friends think the lack of weight loss is my thyroid. Could that be it or am I doing something wrong?

Will I lose weight now that I found out I have hypothyroidism and am taking meds?

I just found out I have hypothyroidism and was prescribed Levothyroxine for this, and was wondering if it will give me energy, and if I will lose weight from fixing this? Also, i have high cholestoral and was prescribed Lipitor for this,? Would any of these problems be a symptom of something else?

Lots of symptoms of hypothyroid issues, but blood work came back that thyroid is fine. Any ideas?

My symptoms: tired all the time,
get cold very easily,
memory problems,
hair loss,
can’t lose weight,
depression.

I was sure this was hypothyroid but the tests came back all fine. I’m trying to find an answer because I just don’t feel healthy anymore. I looked up Wilson’s syndrome, but it seems many doctor’s don’t believe in Wilson’s. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to feel better? I do not take any supplements at this time, and eat a fairly well balanced diet, mostly organic vegetables, etc. I’d appreciate any ideas for supplements or nutrition changes or anything that will help. Thanks!

Is it possible to have hypothyroidism but not be overweight?

I have all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism..I am just not overweight. I was chubby up until the time I was 17 when I started a strict workout and diet schedule. I still gain weight relatively easily but I am much better at managing it now. Is it possible that I do have a thyroid problem and it just isn’t extreme? All advice is appreciated!
