Hi ladies,
I have had thyroid problems since it was first diagnosed at age 21 {back in the stone age}, I did have a bad bout of glandular fever when I was 14, then much later in life after removal of thyroid gland as it was way way too high,I was on 75 mg of thyroxine, then I had a 4 years of chronic fatigue, all of this time I have been under the care of a specialist endocrinologist, I now take tertroxin as well as the thyroxine, I have blood tests regularly as the chemo medication does tend to upset my levels a bit, its quite a complicated thing but I have grown used to living with it, I believe there are several ladies here who have had thyroid problems, there was an article in the body and soul magazine last sunday in the paper about a woman who had a similar expereince, glandular fever, chronic fatigue, then cancer, {of the thyroid gland} is it just a coincidence, who would know, its just another one of those mysteries of life!!!, thyroid problems have a tendency to show up in women more than men and it seems to happen around the 40/50 age group, I do believe that a lot of people may have this problem but the symptoms are sometimes so vague unless you have a specific blood test you just dont know whats going on.
