I have thyroid problems and experience the same symptoms as you. When you see your GP, ask for a scan. I had bloodtests to test hormones, which fell within the normal ranges. It wasn't until I had a scan on my lungs that my enlarged thyroid was picked up. My GP then referred me for a thyroid scan which showed a number of nodules in both thyroid lobes. I have an appointment on Wednesday morning with an endocrinologist to see what we're going to do about it now.
thanks for the support. Ive been struggling with this for a while now & was at my wits end wondering what was wrong with me & why I couldn't just make myself do something.
lovemykids - I read somewhere that aches are a symptom of hashimotos, neck/throat aches? did you have this symptom? Ive had almost constant aches for years now but had put it down to a bad back & neck, but am now wondering if its been masking something else.
I wish I could get an appoitnment with my GP today, now that I know what I need to do. Hannanat thanks, I will be asking about a scan at my appointment next week.
My hashimoto's was diagnosed almost straight away, mine was due to a hard labour and i only had symptoms for about two weeks!! I did not have aching or pain, BUT i had just given birth to my baby so I really thought that my symptoms were from labour/pregnancy!! I had never ever heard of it before and had no idea so you are already one step ahead of me :-) If you have any questions or anything don't hesitate to ask :-)
