You CAN order thyroid tests for yourself and pay for them on your own. I did so online. There are probably other similar websites. You can have the results sent directly to you instead of your doctor. You’ll need to educate yourself on which tests you need and how to read the results.

Hi Debbie, Thank you for following Hypothyroid Mom. It is great to know you’ve found the articles helpful. I hear from my readers all the time with family history that often includes different forms of thyroid disease all in one family. To give you a sense of this, here in this article by the Cleveland Clinic, a quote is included by a doctor: ““More than 75% of the time, patients with thyroid disease tell me that someone on one side of their family has thyroid disease.” https://health.clevelandclinic.org/thyroid-disease-may-run-in-your-family-and-you-might-not-know-it/

I was dx: with graves disease /hyperthyroidism in 1979. The heart Dr. Had me on all kinds of meds,from heart meds to meds that kept me doped up.after about 6 months of not being able to function,I changed Dr.cause I was tired of being comatose. And trying to take care of my family. He gave me radiation cocktail to kill my thyroid and the goiter,and took me off all the meds the other Dr.had put me on. And then started synthroid. The strange things was I had both overactive and under active at the same time,and the Dr told me that was n’ t possible.but reading hour article,I see I was crazy.you a have both. I have depression/anxiety issues,osteoarthritis , carpel tunnel and diabetes. Does this mean I have autoimmune disease because of thyroid? And I was also told it wasn’t hereditary, but ones daughter has Has him onto and the other just underactive that I know of. Is it strange for the 3 of us to have different type of thyroid condition?
