Thyroiditis what is this????

Hi everyone ❤️

I requested my medical records last year (Nov) to look back over blood results for hyperparathyroidism, of course that's what I was consentration on... But looking at other stuff I noticed the endo wrote I'd been diagnosed with an episode of thyroiditis think it was 2011 or 12...Reading this was the first I'd heard that I'd even had an episode of thyroiditis.. What is it? Just curious as I was eventually diagnosed in 2018 after over 12 months of awful symptoms of an overactive thyroid (graves).. Is there a link??? ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi seasideSusie ❤️

Thank you for that info.. ❤️👍

I've also noticed this endo also wrote that I had some short suppressed TSH and one normal T3, although there is no indication what the T3 actually was as it's not in the report, this was years before my thyroid went overactive (graves) thyrotoxicosis) finally being removed in 2019..makes for interesting reading seasideSusie 🤔.. I reckon they miss my thyroid condition even then, as when they got a normal TSH result back as normal,( well what they said was normal.) I never found out what that was... Can't find anything in my records about this) they just dismissed it as my cfs/me/fibro... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
