16! I couldn't lose weight even though I was an active kid and didn't overeat much so they did blood test.

Formally diagnosed at 30. I had thought I had it since I was 27/28. That's when my symptoms were rearing their ugly head..

11! Doc was concerned that I wasn’t reaching any growing milestones (I’m still extremely small), so he sent me to an endocrinologist. Turns out I had hypothyroidism co-morbid with turner’s syndrome!
