My thyroid Check – up

Last Friday I’ve visited my doctor for my thyroid check-up. As you all know I had my total Thyroidectomy in the year 2002. I was advised by my surgeon during that time to have a yearly medical check up to monitor my thyroid but because of my busy schedule I was not able to do so. During the years that follow I’ve married my husband and have given birth to my two children. Last Friday I have my blood examined for ThT4, this is a procedure to know if my thyroid hormone levels are still normal and I’ve just found out today that it is not. My laboratory result says that I have low thyroid hormones resulting to hypothyroidism. This Tuesday I will have my follow up check up
