i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 4 yrs ago . my dr passed it off by just assuming i am over weight and lazy . i have 2 children ages 15 and 9 yrs and i feel so bad cause my kids need me and its so hard to do anything with my kids and its depressing ,my skin is dry ,itchy and thin hair , and ankles swelling and i feel so unattractive. im on levoxyl  0.2 mg two tablets daily .they did a ultra sound and a test witch consisted of me going to the out patient they gave me a pill i went back to hospital 6 hours later and the next day same test without the pill.ok i was told they could not locate my thyroid or activity on both test ,but the ultra sound showed multiple goiters and mass .now tomorrow i have a appt .i was told that with the medication the goiters may shrink and im so scared and i just wish they would remove thyroid to prevent thyroid cancer ...any info would be greatly apprieciated .....god bless carol
