12dpearlThe reason I believe this is cause I have hyperthyroidism and I think I have an enlarged thyroid gland. I've had thyroid cancer, they removed the thyroid, had major dosages of radiation of(I-1-31), and I believe I have a hormone embalance. By me taking levethoroxine, will it cure these symptoms?
Could hashimotos disease be the same as a goiter?

Very good question. I have a multinodular goiter myself, and only my TSH ever gets tested, and b/c it is in the normal range, they do NOT test anything else. I have asked repeatedly for a full thyroid panel from the doc I see but have been told NO over and over. My TSH was 0.7 in March. But I know from my symptoms that something is going on with my thyroid. Also for me, I was feeling hypo for the longest time, then this past weekend I actually felt hyper, as I was jittery and felt like I needed to run you know, the fast heart rate as well. I actually thought that a goiter was part of having Hashimitos so I have learned from these answers. I wish you all the best in your treatment.

I'm glad someone has learnt from this forum. If your Dr won't do TSH (thyroid Stimulating hormone) TFT (Thyroid function test), T3 & T4 (how the body deals with and changes the thyroid chemicals in one side through pituitary gland and out the other side), you can also get TG? (thyroid globulin) takes longer to test this. I'd see a different dr if they wont do these tests for you!!!

My Mum had Hashimoto's years ago and it took her years to get a Dr to find it as it was rare back then. They tried telling her she had depression but she kept fighting and it was discovered. I have RA and have had Thyroid cancer. Great answer, thanks
I was just recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis with Goiter at the same time. I was advised probably triggered by stress and was immediately put on Metformin. I am to allow my body to adjust to this medication and will then be put on Thyroid medication next month with my next doctors visit. So it is possible to have Hoshimoto's Thyroiditis Disease and have a goiter as well, I know. I was also told this is probably why my blood pressure over the last several months has been at times dangerously high.
