Had my 6 month blood tests done this morning to check my thyroid. I don't feel completely better yet, so hoping doctor will not lower my medication. He is checking TSH, Free T3 and T4, which is alot more than many doctors or specialists will check these days! Diagnosed Hypo as a young child, but doctors told my mom that I would "outgrow" it!! :( She fought for me back then. Through the years at regular checkups, my TSH would come back "normal" and I did not know about what they told my mom until last August when my thyroid grew so large that it inhibited my breathing and swallowing, and had to be removed. I am remaining very active in my care with research and prayer for wisdom because I can see how this failure to diagnose for ALL my life has affected my health. It is estimated that over 30 Million people are suffering with thyroid conditions! Hoping for a good report in the next few days, and trusting God with it all...there is always HOPE!
