If you question the thyroid problem, have them run the full thyroid scan...not just the tsh. I first two times they ran the tsh I was in the normal range, when they ran the full thyroid panel I had a full blown goiter. They were very concerned that I would have a thryoid storm. At 35 I had a throyoidectomy. My neighbor thought since I was so young using the radioactive iodine might have some problems for me later since I have a family history of cancer. Turns out he was right. Last September I had my second bout of breast cancer.. This time it was invasive....I had both chemo and radiation. I just take my thyroid pills every day....
