Hypothyroidism
11 years ago I had a blood test that said I was hypothyroid. The bloody doctor said it was just an error, and no I was not likely hypothyroid.
Three years ago I went to the doctor once more wiht symptoms of hormonal issues, but now worsening. The doctor didnt test my thyroid hormones only my sex hormones. Said there was no issue.
On Monday this week I saw a new doctor. She actually listened to me. She was thorough and sent me off for a bloodtest to look at 12 biomarkers. I'm still waiting for the results, and I'm starting to get a wee bit nervous. If they were all healthy I would expect to have heard about them by now. I'm nervous, partly in anticipation of finally having an ANSWER, a REASON, an explanation. If the diagnosis is confirmed it would explan the last 10 YEARS of my life. I can't believe i've suffered and accepted this as just being "my lot" for so long, in spite of suspecting something is not wrong and getting worse.
I've ovulated twice in the last 6 months, if that. I thought it was androgen dominance, and partially it may be, but now i realise that it's likely caused by thyroid insufficiency.
I am hopeful of finally having an explanaton, i am scared that the explanation will be hashimotos thyroidits... I don't want an autoimmune condition, obviously :(
Will call the doctors surgery first thing Monday morning and follow up these tests.
