Most common diagnosis & treatment…
And… I was hoping to hear from people who have this condition.

I have had multinodular thyroid disease for many years. My thyroid gland works perfectly, but I have been monitored by various endocrinologists for years. I take Synthroid to get the nodules in check. However, in January, my tests (an ultrasound and a nuclear medicine scan) showed I now had 6 large fluid filled cold nodules. The Dr assured me they are benign. My Dr. increased my thyroid dosage for 6 months to see if there would be any improvement. I just had another ultrasound prior to my doctor’s appt next week & now I have 30-40 nodules. I have some difficulty swallowing, especially at night if I lay on my back, and my neck sometimes hurts. I am I know that the medical people are reluctant to remove a thyroid gland that works, but I am beginning to feel that maybe it is time for the surgery. I am 54 and in good health otherwise. Has anyone else had this situation? Do you think I should discuss this with the endocrinologist and maybe get a 2nd opinion?

I know hypothyroidism can cause depression (I’ve had it before for a short period of time but it was only mild) but I was wondering if it can cause anxiety too. It’s never listed in "symptoms" but I know anxiety & depression often go hand-in-hand so I was curious.

I believe I may have it again as I’ve had it in the past but I am experiencing anxiety too so I wonder if it is actually depression not hypothyroidism. I have an exam on 5/12 to find out but I was curious in advance.

My friend & I both started weight watchers, but she is worried because of her thyroid problem (she is currenlty on meds for it), that she will not be able to lose weight, even on this program. Has anyone here had a thyroid problem & still lost weight on this plan?

Ive been tired alot more lately for no reason really other then my sleep is messed up & I like to stay up late & then sleep during the day, but I get adequate hrs of sleep (8-10) I cant seem to lose weight either, I heard that this could be from thyroid problems. What are some of the symptoms & how does it get checked?
