Hi. My blood tests are normal for my thyroid. I have a goiter and was given an uptake test with one of the uptakes being around 35% (high.) I take lithium and was told once that lithium can prevent your thyroid from functioning properly but show as normal in TSH and other blood tests. Now, that doctor doesn't remember where he found that. Not great timing, since I now have a goiter and am seeing an endocrinologist. The endo. was not familiar with that and I, of course, wanted to pass that info. on. Have you heard of this?
Also, on a related note, my endo. is not done with me yet (wants to get an ultrasound) but says that if all looks okay there, I will not be treated with thyroid hormone even though I have the goiter and don't want it to grow. Is this the norm?
Thanks so much in advance.
