Is there some sort of thyroid disease epidemic in Oregon? Are there any runners there who don't have thyroid disease? What are the odds that a husband and wife both have a rare disease, and that every one of their teammates also have this rare disease? The CDC needs to get up there and investigate the cause of this disease cluster.
Yes to all. You forgot the only endocrinologist in America is in Dallas.
It all makes perfect sense.

Really, I know a good one in Houston.
Brojos, moderators, you should pick up on this one (the original paper is in portuguese, so you have to translate):
Thus, this article aims to review published data on the effects of supraphysiological doses of anabolic steroids on thyroid function, reinforcing the danger that indiscriminate use of these drugs can cause to health.

Most thyroid disease, like Kara Goucher's Hashimoto's Disease, is inherited. The other primary case is abuse of corticosteroids (prednisone) and anabolic steroids (including testosterone).

-ummmmm, no. Please stick to coaching, and kindly cease throwing out black pearls. Those are definitely not "primary causes". I really shake my head at some of the things I read here.

Actually it would be better for the world if coach d DID NOT stick to coaching. He will do a lot less harm trolling this message board.
Long distance running naturally suppresses thyroid function, especially in the midst of a calorie deficit. Years of intense training and restrictive lifestyle can cumulate.
