So I was dx with MS in March. NOW I have just finished an ultrasound of my thyroid which found mulitple nodules - I now have a referal to a endocrinologist. Are you serious? I am 32, just turned 32.. wth is up with that?
Anyway, who else out there has MS and thyroid issues? What kind of 'treatment' have you experienced? I am just starting Rebif, well not really started, my first dose brought forth a nasty cold and so I am waiting it out to do my second dose... so will that be an issue since I have read all the issues with these medications affecting our thyroid? What if the endo wants to remove my thyroid? Will I wait to continue rebif so the surgery wont be an issue?
I was on Copaxone before.. never had any thyroid issues until now.. I wonder if C had anything to do with my nodules?
I have read a lot of information on how one autoimmune disorder can be indicitive of others.. and how gluten can affect us all..(been GF since April) so it doesn't 'surprize' me I guess.. especially since my mother had thyroid issues- but I guess I just don't know what to expect with having both MS and thyroid issues.. how do they treat that?
I just have the nodules and an enlarged thyroid, all my blood work for thyroid function has been normal. So what should I expect?? any ideas... still waiting on my endo appointment to be scheduled..
