goiter no treatment

[Sallysmart]

Had a goiter spotted by doctor since age 14 (47 now) when I move and get t new doctor they notice it right away and test for issues and tell me my numbers are just under the worry line, no medicine, I now have diabetes and neuropathy and wonder if I was on anything would I still be diabetic, also my mom is on thyriod meds and it runs in my family, should I be worried
other issues are bowel problems, waking up the odd time around 4 am to vomit, heat palpitations at night, sweating at night, tiredness and I sleep deeply and am hard to wake up, always have bin, can even sleep standing and have bin seen doing so.
I am hoping a doctor can reply to this, thank you

Thanks everyone for your replies, I am D2 and still trying to figure all this out, am going to my doctor with some new questions for sure, this site has really helped me understand lots in several areas and I am glad I found it.
Take care everyone, will keep plugging along and let you know what happens.

The symptoms that you are experiencing points to being hypo and without treatment they can escalate and get worse, The docs go by what the normal ranges are and not what level range your result is at, which they should...because alot of patients are within normal range but do have hypo symptoms. I was, before i had the surgery.

Do not allow docs to fool you by saying that other health issues are not related to the thyroid, sooo not true.

Definitely find out exactly what your test results are.   Normal is not the same for everybody.   I had a goiter my entire life and it wasn't  until I was in my early 50's that it decided to act up.   I also had symptoms similar to yours when I was 48...turned out I was going through menopause.   Got thru that and a few years later my thyroid started acting up.   Found out that the difficult time I went thru with menopause had probably been exacerbated by my thyroid but nobody knew it.

You should ask your doctor for the actual results of your thyroid tests (get the reference ranges for the tests, also).  Many of us are in the "normal" range, but still do not feel well because not everyone is comfortable everywhere in the range...some of us have to be up high in the ranges, some of us low.

I can't answer if you'd still be diabetic.  Do you have Type I or Type II diabetes?

Many doctors do not know how to interpret tests correctly.  If you get the results from your doctor, you can post them here, if you'd like, and members will help you to interpret them or suggest what further testing you should have.
