  1. Do you know if it’s possible to be diagnosed with hypothyroidism and then it just cures itself?

    I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (TSH was 10) about 12 years ago and was put on synthroid. I was on the synthroid for a few years and even doubled up on it when I got pregnant with my 1st child but then when I got pregnant with my 2nd child 2 years later I was told my thyroid was in normal range and no meds were needed anymore. I remember thinking that was odd but trusted my dr. and just went off of it. Well since then I have had a 3rd child (5 yrs ago) and my symptoms have been gradually getting worse with every year that passes. The symptoms started about a year after my 2nd was born but I just chalked it up to motherhood and getting older. I just had my TSH checked last week and it was 3.48 which is considered to be in “normal” range. I’m just wondering if this is common or if I should keep pushing for them to look further into my thyroid cause honestly I’m struggling so bad these days to have enough energy to just walk down the stairs and I’m feeling like it’s pushing me into a depressive state of mind even though I’m not sad or depressed. I have been under a little more stress then usual but that’s never affected me like this. I feel like I’m going crazy cause I can’t control my moods and I just want to sleep. Also my cholesterol was high about a year ago but not high enough to medicate he said. I’m only 35 yrs old and in good shape. I’m not having any weight gain or hair loss really but all the other symptoms are happening again but the weight gain and hair loss symptoms happened when I was diagnosed. Any help or advise would be so so appreciated!! Your website has been so informative. Thanks for all your doing!

    Does anyone else have swollen arm pits or glands?

    1. I have had them off and on. They flare and go away, i have never inquired about it happening, my GP is a bit of a dope. I need a referral to an ENDO.
