Besides getting checked out….I mean, how would one even know to get checkd out for it? Cancer runs in my family. My mom had cancer of her thyroid and had to have it removed. The rest of the cancer runs in my “distant” family, such as, my great aunts and cousins. Oh yeah, and both of my grandfathers. I know I am at high risk, consitering I also Smoke. (I do not want to hear people preaching to me about my smoking, either, so please, don’t do it.) So yeah, I was just wondering if one has any symptoms or whatever. P.S. I will be 20 in a coupple of Months.
And I also have no children and I am not pregnant.

i have a problem with my thyroid, Hypothyroidism (Under-Active Thyroid)
and i would like to know what fruits and veg i should eat to improve its function and have a much higher metabolism. what should i avoid in my diet too. i don’t like the idea of pills, i would rather do it the natural way. Many Thanks.
I was at the dr yesterday with a sore throat and I got sent for blood work because my thyroid is enlarged. I had it checked when I was 18 and now 5 years later here I am again. I seem to have some of the symptoms for having an enlarged thyroid. I think I fall under the hypothermia category.
It is called hypothyroidism. It affects millions of people from young to old. It is very common for people to gain a lot of weight if you do not take your medicine and watch what you eat. There is not a lot of weight programs that you can do that will work with your medication. There are way more diet programs out there but very few that will work with thyroid problems
