a friend of mine has a goiter

[Guest guest]

Internet

is great, I found a childhood friend of mine and in doing so I found out she

has a goiter (she’s from OH). She is not on thyroid meds. Should she

be, I don’t know what her thyroid levels are. I’m sure she needs

to be tested for hashimotos. But having a goiter should she be on thyroid?

What other tests should she get. Right now she doesn’t have insurance,

but she should soon.

Thanks for

any advice

Having goiter only means she needs to have her thyroid regularly

monitored..

Grave's , hashimoto's, thyroiditis, nodules, too much iodine , too

littel iodine, viruses etc..can all cause a goiter which is just a

fancy word for inflammation of the thyroid. It is not a diagnosis of

anything but rather a symptom of a few things.
