Hi Heather
I had a cyst on my thyroid gland diagnosed at the age of 26. It was drained a few times but kept recurring so the consultant advised me to have the affected tissue and surrounding area removed. This left me with half a thyroid gland which is sufficent for the body to function on without needing thyroxine tablets. The only drawback is having blood tests done regularly which show my GP how well the thyroid is working. The standard treatment for an underactive thyroid <which is possibly what your GP is considering you have> is thyroxine tablets daily.
I wasnt diagnosed with endometriosis until another 15 years later but think I was lucky and many of my endo symptoms were masked by long standing use of the contraceptive pill.
I realise this is an old thread and hope you have found some answers since you first posted your question!

Massive weight gain
Been researching the mirena coil alot...could it help? 
Does Endo actually make you put on weight? or is it the treatment that causes weight gain?
A really bad experience
