New here - Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
| Wed, 07-12-2006 - 6:48pm |
Hi! I'm Kira, just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone. I'm 24yo single mom to an almost 5 yo little bo, and have been dealing with thyroid issues for nearly five years. I was diagnosed with hypo at 19, just months after giving birth to my son, then taken off of meds because my levels were too high, then sent to an endo about two year ago because of a start of a goiter (Which is thankfully gone now) and finally diagnosed with hashimoto's thyroiditis. Also have a big family history. Mother - Grave's; Mother's mother - hyper; great grandmother-hypo. So we've got four generations, and pretty nearly every thyroid condition. anyway, just wanted to say hi, and give a little history.



Hi Kira,
Welcome to our board.
Your family does show the fact that thyroid problems can be hereditary.
