I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid last December (2006) when I had severe morning sickness. I know I was not hyperthyroid before pregnancy (it was tested). I have been on and off PTU since (safe during pregnancy) and am waiting to see how it works out now that pregnancy is over. Tests have been normal the past few months but the doctor thinks the levels are going up again and things don't look good, I can see a nodule in my throat.

Catty I agree with you, I'm surprised and annoyed that nuke it is the best medicine has to offer.

Please don't worry about TMI here, anyone reading this thread is most likely concerned about their thyroid and looking for info. Catty thanks for bringing the subject up. This is an evolving situation for me and I'm scared and previously felt alone not personally knowing anyone suffering with it. Anyone I know with a thyroid condition is hypo!
