Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hello...I'm new here. I went scouting for support and found this group. My name is . I'm 39 years old and the Mom of 2 children (5 and 8 months). I live in PA. My NP told me I had an enlarged thyroid at my post-delivery visit. Thus started the roller coaster. I tested positive for antibodies, and my TSH was 6.5. Went to see an endocrinologist who biopsied the nodule (at least the biggest one). Ouch, that sucked. Came back highly suspicious for cancer - sigh. So I've met with the surgeon and have a date set for Thyroidectomy. I've started on Levoxyl (50mcg)30 days ago and NOW I feel like crap. Was pretty asymptomatic before. I'm guessing that once additional hormones were added my thyroid decided to stop working so hard....but who knows. I'm having another blood draw Thursday and meeting with the Dr. next week again. Anyway, I know I'm rambling...I'm still in a bit of shock. Looking foward to any input or suggestions you folks might have. Cheers, W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
