Title: thyroid (gland)-problems
Post by: PositiveVibes on April 11, 2009, 08:01:47 PM

Hi ! Is there anyone who have problems with thyroid (gland)?
I am a little bit confused about having hyper thyroid (gland), or I don't know how it should be said properly, I should make tests if my thyroid (gland) works faster, which means some hormone problems. :rolleyes

Hi Roz,

All thal patients should have thyroid tests done. Many thals have hypothyroid. Hyperthyroid would be more unusual in thals but if one has a hereditary thyroid illness, this can happen. If you are concerned that it is hyper, you should get the test done. It's just a simple blood test.

I did some tests about the thyroid gland and everything was in the norms. So, I don't have problems with it. I am very confused because my temperature is still higher.. I don't know how to cope with it. :(
