How to Shrink a Thyroid

I went to the doctor last week to do "the check" on my thyroid. As I mentioned in past posts, they found a couple of cysts in/on my thyroid and wanted to rule out the possibility that they were cancerous. So I was sent to the endocrinologist, got an ultrasound, and assured that everything was alright. I just have an elarged thyroid with a lot of benign cysts and nothing greater. Thank goodness! In an attempt to shrink the cysts though the doctor has put me on a medication that resembles an arrowhead (seriously, it is the weirdest looking pill ever...haha) in attempt to shrink my thyroid and the cysts. Let's hope it works! :)
