Natural treatment for post-partum thyroiditis?

[Guest guest]

The left side of my thyroid is inflammed (you can see my neck is

swollen on that side) and it hurts when I swallow. I have never had

thyroid issues before. I'm now 9 months post partum.

 

My doctor has scheduled me for an ultrasound on November 1st to

just " be sure. " Of course I have a friend that had thyroid cancer a

couple of years ago at age 26 so I'm a little freaked out.

 

However, I told another friend about it and she said she was diagnosed

with post partum thyroiditis.

 

So I'm wondering if anyone has had this, and what the treatment would

be?

Sorry to be so tardy, and I am hoping that someone has already

responded to your question, or that you have otherwise resolved the issue. If

not,

just be aware that thyroiditis quite often manifests when female hormones are

stirred up, like during pregnancy and postpartum. If you test with

Hashimoto's, as I did postpatum after needle biopsy on my thyroid lump, you may

have to

take thyroid meds. Just be aware, that's all, not to worry.
