I know a few people with thyroid problems and it does require you to take a drug called "synthroid" for the rest of your life. It really isn’t a big deal at all, hopefully you have an over-active thyroid in which case you won’t have to worry about the side effect of weight gain as you do with an under active one. Your primary care doctor should be able to feel if your thyroid is enlarged at the base of your neck, he may or may not refer you to a specialist, depends on your doctor, some primary care doctors can treat the condition. It’s really nothing life threatening and shouldn’t really effect much except possible weight gain or loss, being very tired all the time and other minor problems. Good luck and call your doctor, again, it’s not much to worry about
A thyroid disease is something that doctors made up for fat people to give them a reason for being fat. It can be cured by putting down your bucket of fried chicken, getting off the couch and getting some exercise.
Depends on whether it is an under active or over active thyroid. Under active is managed with Synthroid, but over active can be surgically removed, or managed with meds as well.
Under active thyroid is not a made up illness, Tyler, as I have had it for 15 years but am still within normal weight guidelines - thanks for the helpful comments…
Thyroid disease can be hyperactive or hypoactive. You see, the thyroid gland is the one that partly controls your metabolism. The thyroid gland also secretes calcitonin which is responsible for absorption of calcium from the bloodstream or GI tract.
So if you have a hyperactive gland, you will most likely experience weight loss, agitation, fatigue, heat intolerance, palpitaion, tachycardia, hypertension, perspiring too much, etc. Just imagine yourself continuing burning calories even when you’re just lying on the couch.
If you’re hypoactive, it’s the opposite: weight gain, hair loss, hypotension, always feeling cold, but also tired too, because you don’t have any energy.
It surely is easily treated these days and very manageable, if you’re hypoactive, they will prescribe you with a thyroid hormone replacement like synthroid.
If it is hyperactive, most cases is due to a tumor (benign or malignant), It’s either surgery (most of the time) or if it’s benign sometimes they give you an antithyroid drug (PTU). It depends on how much tissue is removed (if ever surgery is opted) they may not only give you thyroid replacement, but also calcitonin, to prevent bone breakage. And it is a life-long treatment, othr than this, you can have a normal life.
Well, this disease is fairly common, so it will be easy for them to
make a diagnosis for you. They’ll most probably do a thyroid scan for confirmation.
Have it treated seriously, there are some permanent effects if not treated for long like eye problems (exophthalmos- bulging eyes), and cardiovascular problems- if hyperactive.
Good Luck!
