There are also some good resources in the Thyroid Basics discussion at the top of the page.

I'm just beginning my journey with thyroid problems and don't know what's causing my current maladies. I've had colitis for 7 years and have it sort of under control with humira and lialda. I've had other auto-immune diseases such as bullous pemphagoid, a skin condition, and have it almost gone, took about 1 year of meds and ma weaning off of prednisone for it. Now I've been referred to an ear, nos and throat dr after having an ultra-sound that showed problem with the thyroid. Will see the dr. next wk; hopefully they'll be able to help me past this one. Right now I have fatigue, light-headed/nausea, loose bowels and food reactions that I've never had before.

I'm also on an anti-depressant, citalopram which has taken some getting used to. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
If you want to know your thyroid status then ask for the following tests; TSH,FT3 and FT4 .

If your US of the thyroid showed nodules then you might have hashimoto's disease , but not necessarily , they can be present even with people with no thyroid condition.

Once you have those tests done , post the results here with reference ranges and we will be able to advice you regarding their meaning and where to go next !

Best ,

Consider researching celiac disease which is an autoimmune disorder. It may be the source of your intestinal issues and depression and is commonly linked to autoimmune thyroiditis. The University of Chicago's celiac website is a good place to start.
