A quick hello.

Been there done that, 18 months on a goitre the size of a elephants bum and still the teats came back negative, eventually some bright spark gave me a T5 test that came back positive and a x-ray that showed a 10 deg curve in my windpipe finally persuaded my gp I had a thyroid problem, 4 weeks later an op to remove it, I was hypothyroid though, it seemed the thing was growing to produce thyroxin, so now I regularly have a T5 test each year.

Yep that makes me even more determined to go see the gp this week.
