I have an underactive thryoid.  Had it since age 15.  I'm 37.  I take .175 mg of synthroid.

My mother and sister also have an underactive thyroid but they don't have a hemangioma like me.

Although I don't have a sluggish thyroid, I do have thyroid nodules.  Had them aspirated about 5 or 6 years ago and they grew back.  I had a young endocrinoligist say, "don't worry, if you need surgery it only would affect you if you're a soprano!  Ha-ha giggle." 
I then informed her that indeed I was a soprano and, though not dependant on this for my livelihood, enjoyed my singing very much.

Hello, I will join the Acoustic Neuroma and Thyroid problem club too!  I do not have a deviated septum though, but I do have an extra tooth that grows upwards into my right nostril! Beat that!
I actually had thyroid cancer 5 years ago and had surgery plus the radioactive iodine treatment that so many of you have talked about.  This is an odd connection, but thyroid problems are very very common in the general population so wouldn't be so surprising to find a bunch of us with this problem. But it is curious. Is there any kind of registry for these medical issues that occur along with AN's?
