Hi! This is my first post so if I'm doing this wrong...wooops.
I would love any and all advice concerning my personal thyroid issue which happens to be so rare that even my old endocrinologist had to google it. I have an ectopic thyroid, which if you dont know means I was born with a portion of thyroid tissue at the base of my tongue. I also have several large nodules (one the size of a golf ball) in the area where my thyroid should be. Usually the ectopic tissue is the only working tissue and in my case its not enough to support my body. I had high cholesterol by age 12 and luckily my pediatrician made the association with thyroid function and prescribed me Synthroid. I'm now prescribed 100 mcg synthroid and 10 (split 5,5) of cytomel. I also take tyorene three times a day to achieve the 3 to 1 ratio. For some reason the more t3 I take the more inflamed my extopic tissue becomes but if I don't take that much I feel terrible. I can provide more context aboit my diet etc. Any advice would be great! Thanks :)
