Am I the only unlucky one that is not diagnosed/treated for hypo WITH GOITER for nearly 15 ys?

I developed a goiter since very young and had all symptoms, the lab results ( TSH/T3/T4 without antibodies) were interpreted as "normal" and they didn't treat my goiter,

my family used sleeping pills to suppress my thyroid systems, in case that we didn't know it's subclinical hypothyroidism.

Goiter is a symptom of iodine deficiency. Check with your doctor to make sure you have sufficient Iodine in your body.

I checked the documents of subclinical hypothyroidism.

The ATA guidelines suggest that subclinical hypothyroidism WITH GOITER should be treated,

treatment of the same condition WITHOUT goiter can be held.

It's possible for others, but I eat a lot of seafood, so the iodine deficiency is not very possible.

The old doctor didn't test the antibodies 15 years ago, just TSH/T3/T4, that's what "normal' means at that time

15 Ys later after the huge goiter developed. Another doctor found the antibodies and the slightly high TSH and firstly dignoased, I took the Levo, and the goiter was shrunk.

Also goiter could be a sign of significant inflammation with high antibodies?
