You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I also have Hypothyroidism since 1991. When you are diagnosed,you either have an under active thyroid(hypo) or an overactive one(hyper)...you can't have both. You will need to have frequent bloodtests to monitor the THS levels. Most people have to take either Levothyroxine or Synthyroid for this,for the rest of your life. IT DOES NOT GO AWAY. Monitor it closely,or you could develope what they call "Graves disease" ,which is a form of cancer. Soem doctors opt to remove a person's thyroid,if it is diseased.

U can have both hyper/hypo though it is rare I have been diagnosed byUCLA
as Graves is an auto-immune disease, but is not related to thyroid. Lev/Synthroid are the same meds. You can get your thyroid nuked (iodine131) thus putting you on sythroid for the rest of your life. It will never go away, but as you say always monitor the situation with your dr. each physical per year esp. the tsh levels. Please watch out for various climatic changes, stress, personal situations all will have various effects on how your body relates to the hyper/hypo reactions. Most doctors do not have all info on Graves and much misinformation is poured out , be careful and like I am asking many many questions. As this seems per the Mayo Clinic to be genetic and effects women 80-90% and men such as I 10-20% of the time.

Generally you do not go from being hypo to hyperthyroid, but if you are hypothyroid it can cause release of adrenaline which can mimic symptoms of hyperthyroidism (increased heart rate, anxiety, shaking, dizziness).
