Goitre and Thyroid

Posted , 7 users are following.

been to see GP today as I had noticed my neck swelling and hard to swollow. had constipation too....and going through menopause. I need blood tests to confirm but doctor said I have a goitre and Thyroid problems. is this part of meno pause? I don't want to take tablets I don't react well to any drugs due to underlying problems. feeling upset and worried. Doctor says I will need medication or I will just get worse.

    My initial thread seems to have gone elsewhere. maybe I should start a new discussion as my question has got lost.

    doctor says if I don't take drugs for my thyroid I am at a high risk of stroke is this true or do they just want me on drugs !
