ESPN: Reyes’ thyroid condition debated

The New York Mets say Jose Reyes has an overactive thyroid, but the shortstop isn’t buying it.

... Reyes told ESPNDeportes.com’s Enrique Rojas later Tuesday: “The specialists who took care of me in New York have told me that I’m fine and that there’s nothing wrong with my thyroid. The test [taken to follow one conducted during his physical] showed that I’m fine. We just have to wait for the results of the additional test. The [doctors] found inflammation in my throat and no medicine to treat the thyroid or any other condition has been prescribed.”

Hmmm...sounds like a case for House, M.D.

Sounds like the Mets- Team says one thing, player another- I am sure the Drs will have a 3rd opinion.

Part of what makes Reyes effective is his hyperkinetic behavior. If the hyperthyroidism is mild, perhaps correcting it might take away from what makes him special?

Then again, maybe being euthyroid would make Reyes less anxious in RBI situations.

As an aside, I've always wanted to start a rock band and name it "Thyroid Storm."

The Mets crack medical team may have been wrong? I'm shocked!
