ASPIRIN v T4, T3, FT4, FT3 - what will they find next?

[Guest guest]



Hi everybody,

For all of you who take Aspirin for the pains you suffer from hypothyroidism/fibromyalgia etc, read this piece of research that Bob has sent me. Tell your doctor about this and at the same time, perhaps you should ask him/her why he is not already aware of this..in the nicest possible way of course.American Journal of Veterinary ResearchApril 2006, Vol. 67, No. 4, Pages 599-603 http://dx.doi.org/10.2460/ajvr.67.4.599 Effects of deracoxib and aspirin on serum concentrations of thyroxine, 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, and thyroid-stimulating hormone in healthy dogsResults—Mean serum T4, fT4, and T3 concentrations decreased significantly from baseline on days 14 and 28 of treatment in dogs receiving aspirin, compared with those receiving placebo. Mean plasma total protein, albumin, and globulin concentrations on day 28 decreased significantly in dogs receiving aspirin, compared with those receiving placebo. Fourteen days after administration of aspirin was stopped, differences in hormone concentrations were no longer significant. Differences in serum TSH or the free fraction of T4 were not detected at any time. No significant difference in any of the analytes was detected at any time in dogs treated with deracoxib.Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Aspirin had substantial suppressive effects on thyroid hormone concentrations in dogs. Treatment with high dosages of aspirin, but not deracoxib, should be discontinued prior to evaluation of thyroid function.and this one:-http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?id=208550Get an invite ot the vicious circle ~ Hypothyroid ~ Fybromyalgia ~ Aspirin etc ~ suppress Thyroid Function ~ get T4 ~keep taking Aspirin ~ stop taking Aspirin ~ go thyrotoxic ! bum bum ~ wham ~ do they think we're nuts ?
