    Hi. Newbie here, although I've had Hypothyroidism for over 20 years. Research has shown that the time of day you get your TSH tested is important. TSH is naturally higher in the morning, so those getting afternoon blood tests will often get a TSH reading in the normal range while it would have...

    I was dx with Hashimotos in 2005 or so and had my GINORMOUS thyroid removed in 2007-2008 (cen't remember). I'm also a person with Multiple Sclerosis, so that tends to take focus away from anything else going wrong with me and tends to be the catch-all disease for problems too. Blame MS. Well...
