I'm so sorry you had to pass through such a horrible moment. It must have been really scary! Good thing that in the hospital they were able to find the key to the problem and you are getting to the healing path.

It is amazing that you went all that time without your thyroid been checked regularly. When I first started with my mental problems, that was the very first thing they checked out. I ask you the same question I asked in another old post: have you considered your thyroid removed? I had Hashimoto's disease and that's why my thyroid doesn't work anymore, therefore, I have now hypothyroidism and have to take a med for life. If you had your thyroid removed, you would have the same thing but would not have the goiter problem and the only thing to worry about would be that the med you are taking is in the correct dosage. Once the correct dosage is found, you would have to be checked every 6 months or so. Well I would consider that option. Has your endo suggested this?

I send you my best wishes and hugs if that's ok,
