does any moms or family membes have hyperthyoridism?

my daughter is 16 yrs old,when she was 11 she developed hypothyoridism( her thyorid was not working) she was put on medication to make her thyorid work,she was on meds for 2 yrs,then all of a sudden her thyorid started working so she was taken off meds,shes been off for 3 yrs,now 2 weeks ago,she started having symptoms so i had blood work done,the doctor thinks now that her thyorid is working too much..we have to do a thyorid scan,then go back to see the doctor so she can be put on meds.I just wanted to know if anyone had overactive thyorid,that i can talk too,and ask questions,I know her doctor is the one with the answers but i want to talk to someone that has the problem..

DH has Hashimoto's (?).. which is an issue with his Thyroid. Basically it really doesn't affect his life at all except for the fact that he has to take Synthroid (sp?) every day to balance out the fact that his thyroid is not working properly. And he has to go see his endocrinologist every 6 months or so to have blood work done to see if they need to make any adjustments to his meds.

FM if you want to talk!

I have a problem with my thryoid too. I take Synthroid and go see the endo. every 3-4 months for blood work, etc. If you have any questions just FM.

I have HYPOthyroidism.....and it has always been hypo....

FM if you have any questions, I also have a great endo if you need one...

Re: does any moms or family membes have hyperthyoridism?

I also have hypo and am on Synthroid. I actually just developed it while pregnant and my endo says that I will always be hypo. Really it doesn't effect anything as long as I take my meds. If anything I have more energy than I have ever had.
