Connection to Thyroid Problems??
Watch this 
View More Posts
Through an ultrasound, my internist told me that I have cysts on my thyroid. She wants me to see a Endocrinologist for a second opinion. Frankly, I'm not even sure what the first opinion is, but needless to say, I'm concerned.

I know that there are several folks on this forum who also have thyroid issues. I am convinced there's a relation to the blood clots. My hematologist said there could be but he didn't go into much detail and that was before I was diagnosed with the cysts.

Anyone out there with thyroid issues who was told that the clots could be related?
