As soon as I read your first post, thyroid was my first thought. I had an enlarged thyroid when mine was hyper. They treated it with radioactive iodine to make it stop functioning and now I simply take synthroid everyday. There is no way to make the thyroid produce the correct amount of thyroid hormone once it malfunctions, so they make it stop altogether and then give you a measure dose of synthroid daily.

I feel much better now. I had begun to have a lot os strange things happen, but never knew they were symptoms of hyperthyroidism. My sister & aunt have hypothyroidism, which is the opposite of mine. Their condition slows everything down and they thyroid stops producing hormone all on its own. Exact opposite symptoms as mine.

Don't worry too much, it's usually not a big ordeal, but they will rule out thyroid cancer and some other disorders with a scan.

Keep us updated and don't worry about it, it's very common.
