I just stumbled across this forum and thought I'd ask a question since I've never talked to anyone with hypothyroidism before.

How old were you when you were diagnosed? I am 21 right now and was told I had hypothyroidism when I was 6yrs old, and I'm just wondering if that is a 'normal' or average age to be diagnosed?

Hi Suki_85,


Welcome to our board.


I think from reading posts on this board and other material, most patients with a hypo diagnosis get that as an adult.
