A bit distressing, adams apple.

[Guest Melissa~]

I have had a large, but invisible thyroid for many years, the enlarged assessment is from a couple doctors. I have had hypothyroidism, (as most of my family does too) for some time, so the doctor palpates it every physical. My edocrinologist concurred it was big, when assessing me to hormone therapy. Still it wasn't visibly prominent, and i wasn't worried about it either.

The HT and weight loss has made it visible. My neck has gone from 17.3" down to 16.2" already, that whole going from buck to doe neck is going to be brutal showing my adams apple. I had hoped it wasn't a problem. When I get down to a 14" neck, the thyroid is going to look like a freak.

Unexpected consequences.

Just a note of progress I had not picked up on before.

Sorry you had to bump into a product of your own good behavior and work. ouch. Just another hurdle. And one that you'll make with flying colors if past performance is an indication.

keep it up girl.

Hi Melissa

I to have hypothyroidism and the new standard is a TSH over 3.0. About two years ago I hit in the mid threes and went on Levothyroxine. I'm starting to feel hypothyroid again. Estrogen tends to raise our hormone levels. I don't see my doctor until December and I get to have all the labs done. I have a strong suspicion that I'll need my thyroid levels lowered again. I'm on the slow weight loss diet and need to lose 20 more lbs. I've dropped 12 lbs in the past 6 months. I wonder if I'll run into the same issue as you are havingwith my Adam's apple showing prominently. Time will tell. Hang in there. We'll let the surgeon do a trach shave and take care of that problemo. KathrynJulia
