Re: I got wheels :)

[Guest guest]

Hi Dawn, good to have you back with us once again.

Holmes was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis before Dr Peatfield and Dr Skinner diagnosed her as suffering hypothyroidism. Initial symptoms of MG may include difficulty speaking (dysarthria), difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), drooping eyelids (ptosis), and double vision (diplopia). Patients often have nasal-sounding speech and weak neck muscles that give the head a tendency to fall forward or backward. These symptoms occur in about 90% of MG cases, are usually intermittent (i.e., come and go), and may disappear for weeks and then recur.Generalized weakness often develops in the trunk, arms, and legs within a year of onset. Arm muscles usually are affected most severely. Muscle weakness tends to worsen as the day progresses, especially after prolonged activity.

Do you have these symptoms Dawn, and if so, have you asked your GP whether this could be the cause of your problems. You need to see a specialist as soon as possible.

Luv - Sheila

Hi folksLong time no post eh? My laptop has been away nearly 2 months now andno sign Anyway I just thought I would ask if anyone has MyastheniaGravis on here connected it is with other autoimmune problems.I Your Group | Terms of Use | Unsubscribe

Hi Dawn glad to see you back i was going to ask on the forum if any one

had heard from you glad you got your wheels but not all the other

symptoms i will put a candle up at Mass for you tomorrow and keep you

in my prayers keep your chin up (if you can)only joking ! Marie

[Guest guest]

Hehe, thanks Marie

Keeping up the chin Scaffolding not yet required for that eeek lol.

I would certainly appreciate your prayer too, thanks indeed. It is

certainly nice to see everyones messages when I can get on and trying

to make out people's progress. Lovely of you to think of me.

Shiela I am going up to the docs mid Oct when he gets back from

another of his breaks, also should be about ready for a blood test

then on the 2 1/4 grain dose. I am definately going to ask for an

appointment with a neurologist, as you say, I NEED to be seen about

this. My arms went about 2 years ago and I cannot sit up in a chair

without arms to support my torso, so I could possibly have it. Hope I

am like though and it s the hypo not MG. I won't let it bother

me though right now, I aint too bad when I don't do anything lol. I am

very chilled out and level with the hc and thanks to Mo I got some

same as she orders, cheers Mo hon if you are reading this for your

help, especially initally.

I miss ya all lots, and I am off now to poison my brain with msg with

a takeaway Chinese yummy VIBRATING NEURONS WOW. Lotsa luv to all

Dawnx

[Guest guest]

Dawn, you do make me laugh. I really admire your cheerfulness when it is so

obvious that you are going through so much. I am so pleased to hear you are

going to the doctors and hope he will refer you to the neurologist as soon

as possible. Make sure you do not take your Armour for at least 24 hours

before you have your blood drawn. Have you considered giving yourself a

trial of Armour when you go to bed. Many of us are doing this. A small study

was done on patients taking their thyroxine at night and patients reported

sleeping better and feeling more refreshed throughout the day. Then one of

our 'good' doctors told his patient to start taking her T3 at night as well,

so and I decided to try taking all of our Armour at one go before we

got into bed to see what would happen. It is great. We both agree that we

are sleeping better, getting up fewer times during the night (that is a real

bonus) and we feel pretty good during the day. We do not miss our T3 kick at

all - quite amazing. This leave the day free to take any supplements that

might clash with thyroid hormones. You might want to try this to see if this

would help with your sleep. It is a bit frightening at first, believing we

can't get through the day without it, but it works. Both of us have dropped

our Armour dose by 1 grain each. I have an appointment with my lovely Endo.

on Wednesday and will tell him what we are doing. Even some of those on

L-thyroxine who are night-time dosing have reported they need less than they

were taking with day-time dosing.

When do you think you will be back to normal with your computer Dawn?

[Guest guest]

hiya again

Woah,thats a thought, all the Armour before bed. I take the last dose

before bed already, I think I agree that 2 grains might be my max, I

do want to try it but may I ask a few questions about it?

a. What do we do about HC doses, I take them just before my Armour

usually hoping to ward off any anxiety from taking that dose. Should I

just take a 1/3 and then take some during the day as usual too (HC?)

b. When you say you need less Shiela, did you have blood drawn to find

out or did you find you went a little hyper after a while? If so how

long did it take?

c. Are we to worry about sloppy heart valves taking it all at once?

Did you experience any palps?

d. I understand Shiela that you having no thyroid at all might worry

about not taking during day, heck, even I felt rotton that time I had

to be off 24 hours for blood tests, I know you will have some T4 built

up in the system, is it that T4 and peripheral conversion that sees

you through the day? I did not realise the half life of T3 was long

enough to sustain us that long.

e. What made you decide to do this and is your body any warmer from

doing it?

I am having cold body problems at the moment quite a lot, in fact I

have got colder since the higher armour dose it seems, even though I a

now on 10 mg hc per day in order to tolerate it. You know that cold

touch even though everyone is warm and the discomfort of knowing you

are cold even though you aint shivering?

Sorry for all the questions, thanks for your last messages folks

luv u all

[Guest guest]

a. What do we do about HC doses, I take them just before my Armourusually hoping to ward off any anxiety from taking that dose. Should Ijust take a 1/3 and then take some during the day as usual too (HC?)

Taje your HC exactly as you were during the day. Taking Armour at night leaves the day free for your other medications that Armour might clash with, such as iron or calcitoninb. When you say you need less Shiela, did you have blood drawn to findout or did you find you went a little hyper after a while? If so howlong did it take?

I awoke with a headache when first starting night-time dosing and so did It went off after a while. We decided to see what would happen if we took one grain less because I had read that those on L-thyroxine alone could manage on less, and it worked 100% for both of us. We are still well, and not missing our T3 shot during the day one little bit.c. Are we to worry about sloppy heart valves taking it all at once?Did you experience any palps?

It hasn't affected us. There are people taking all of their T3 at night, recommended by their physician.d. I understand Shiela that you having no thyroid at all might worryabout not taking during day, heck, even I felt rotton that time I hadto be off 24 hours for blood tests, I know you will have some T4 builtup in the system, is it that T4 and peripheral conversion that seesyou through the day? I did not realise the half life of T3 was longenough to sustain us that long.

I was worried, so was . I can't find it now, I have too much to do, but there is a study to show night time dosing of T4 only and the success it has brought in patients sleeping better and feeling better throughout the day. Just type levothyroxine night time dosing into google and you should find it. I only decided to try Armour at night because (I believe t was Lizzie) mentioned her endo. had asked her to take her T3 at night. I thought they must know something I didn't. Now I think they do. The half life of T3 is longer than we expected, and can be up to 1, 1 1/2 and 2 days. I'm still learning!e. What made you decide to do this and is your body any warmer fromdoing it?

Reason given above - and I haven't thought about whether my body is warmer or not. It was blooming freezing this morning, but I am assured that was the weather and not my body suffering hyperthermia.

I am having cold body problems at the moment quite a lot, in fact Ihave got colder since the higher armour dose it seems, even though I anow on 10 mg hc per day in order to tolerate it. You know that coldtouch even though everyone is warm and the discomfort of knowing youare cold even though you aint shivering?

You need to increase your HC Dawn. You should be monitoring your temperature while you are doing this.

Sounds good to me Shiela

I have taken my armour today so I can start is it not tonight but

tomorrow night? Sounds logical anyway otherwise won't I be overdosing

today if I start it tonight?

I am really afraid of taking more hc you know. I get so levelled out

on what I am on already I get like, emotionless, its wierd.

I will go for the 2 grains at night thing and maybe take the 1/4 in

the morning if that sounds fair, or should I do without the 1/4? Or

drop the lot down my throat at once? lol, I have been on this dose for

about 12 days now I think.

I am not so good at recording my progress since my lappy went away.

Apparently the company are having trouble with the supplier who is

insisting they did not have it under warranty, my retailer says it

definately was and I will not have to pay. If the worse comes to the

worse they will pay it but they had bought the batch on the

understanding they were under a years warranty. Ah well, at least I

know they are communicating about it, it should be back sooner rather

than later now, not the retailers fault really.

Another thing -I lost my thermometer, my new one should be here

tomorrow. Wierd, I hardly ever move and I can lose a thermometer,

doh!. So I can start doing my basals and my daytime temps again when

it turns up. At the beginning of this dose I was hanging around the

low 97s high 96s which is way bad for enzymes now before I went on

higher dose, on just Isocort I seemed to be working up the temp, but

coundn't tolerate the higher Armour doses.

Since the weather got colder, and you are right it IS freezing today,

I have seemingly got worse in myself, so we shall see if the night

time dosing helps. I do hope so. Anyone else doing this testimonials

are appreciated due to my nosiness hehe.

Something else has gone off with me during the last week although it

is difficult to put my finger on what it is, uncomfortable though and

quite unnerving. Plus loads of wierd insecure dreams. Not to worry, it

will all come out in the wash.

Take care and God bless

[Guest guest]

Hi Dawn

You should not be afraid of increasing your HC - you are only on a tiny dose and many people need 20mgs or even 30 to feel well. These are physiological doses only and if you are not making ANY hormone your body requires, there is no other option than to replace that hormone. Have you ever been on the Natural Thyroid Hormone Adrenal forum - they have much more knowledge about this than I do. I wish I had studied this more but because I never really had an adrenal problem that required any other medication other than Nutri Adrenal Extra, I never really looked into it deeply enough. However, re-read Dr Peatfield's papers in our Files and in our website and also look up Dr Rind's website on adrenals too. This is an exceptional site.

I would do a trial of taking all of your Armour in one go Dawn - when you go to bed. If you have a bit of a headache in the morning when you wake, don't worry about this, it very soon passes off. I wish I knew exactly why some of us get this transitory headache.

Somebody posted a link to somewhere online where you could buy a mercury thermometer for less than £2.00 but I can't remember who this was. You can't really wait until you find it Dawn, you might never find it LOL!

Hi guys, it was me! I got mine at my local Co Op pharmacy, brand is

Safe and Sound.

If you try moving your meds to nighttime, you would think assume that

you would feel the affects of a surge of T3, but you don't! So you

prob don't need to worry about when you take you HC at night (and

please don't take it at night high cortisone = insomnia!).

I found (at least intially) that the symptoms I was getting post

armour dose which I have assumed to be adrenal certainly subsided (so

it may mean you might not need to increase HC if you change armour

dose to night time.

Hiya again ladies

Good advise all round there.

I do have lowish cortisol, but it spikes at times and thought it used

to be at night, I am not sure if it varies with my rhythms. I am

therefore being careful with the cortisol as the saliva tests seem a

little unreliable for me. The anxiety ebbs and flows, I do go on the

adrenal forum Shiela hon yes, been going on a long time, it was Val

who saved me from a full on pull your hair out headless chicken oh my

giddy aunt type panic attack with her hydrocortisone on the wrist

emergency dosing before I even knew I needed it . I am pretty sure

she might tell me to raise it but I am going to wait and see how I am

when I do the nighttime dosing . I am quite excited about it, I

shall drop in the whole dose tonight.

Can I still dose sublingually?

Headaches are something I have had on and off for years on a morning

lasting sometimes just a while and sometimes all day. I believe they

are something to do with minerals and dehydration, but I could be

wrong. Otherwise I have no idea but it has been very much a part of my

thyroid illness. Actually being on Armour these few months have been a

refreshing change because those morning headaches had gone.

So glad to see everyone trying this is finding out positive results.

God bless and lotsa luv

[Guest guest]

Thanks for asking Shiela, twas good yes.

I did have that couple of times waking up yelling in panic (strange

cortisol thing I think which sometimes happens) but overall I slept

till 11 today and was pretty perky when I woke, no headache excellent.

The only strange thing was when I took my first dose of hc it seemed

to weaken me for a while, I could feel the life draining a bit, but

now I feel ok.

I am going to keep on doing it for sure Shiela, and I will keep

reporting in on positives (and the hopefully none existant negatives

lol). It certainly is a kind of relief not to have to keep thinking of

the time to take the tablets.

What a beautiful day it looks outside, lots of gnats swarming outside

the window, sun reflecting on the ivy like jewels, awesome. At least

with Armour I notice things like that .

God bless hon

Hi.......ive just been diagnosed with Autoimmune Thyroidism and sub-clinical

Hypothyroidism.........ive been on 25micograms of Thyroxine for 3

months.........and my TSH levels are back to normal...

I am still tired...i told my Doctor this...he said if all my symptoms dont go

away he will be looking to see if i have myasthenia Gravis.....i am very afriad

of this disease i am only 23 years old...i dont understand what the hell is

going on with my immune system or my body... really hope i dont have this...if i

dont rest when im tired my muscles will start to ache untill i sleep it

off.......I cannot go to the gym because my breathing is terrible i get tired

very quick and will be tired for at least two days after......apparently i also

have very bad allergy and because of this athsmatic/bronchial problems.......

I know i have ANA antibodies 1/160 and CRP is positive.....

Anyone has any idea if its just my HYPO and Allergies or is this myasthenia ???

[Guest guest]

Hi Elaine - being on only 25mcgs levothyroxine for 3 months is

ridiculous, even if your thyroid function tests are normal. if you still have

symptoms, then your GP should be increasing your dose by another 25 mcgs, and

after 6 to 8 weeks, increasing it yet again by another 25 mcgs. The average

dose for anybody suffering with hypothyroidism is around 125 mcgs with many

people taking much higher doses. What was your Free T4 result, and did they

test to see what y our Free T3 result was. levothyroxine (t4) is only one

hormone and a mainly inactive one at that. It has to convert through the liver,

kidneys and other thyroid receptors to the active hormone t3 - and it is the T3

that needs to get into every cell in your body and brain to make them function.

There is a large minority of sufferers who are unable to convert for one reason

and another, but NHS doctors don't seem to recognise this. I would not

put up with this. I would ask your GP for a referral for a second opinion from

a thyroid specialist. Most endocrinologist specialise in diabetes, so find one

who is good with thyroids. Your GP is not a specialist.

Myasthenia gravis literally means “grave muscle

weakness“. However, myasthenia gravis is not as “grave“ as

its name describes as most people with this condition lead normal lives as

there is effective treatment available. Read about this here showing the

symptoms etc http://www.netwellness.org/healthtopics/gravis/box3.cfm and if you

want to know about testing for myasthenia gravis, then read here http://www.netwellness.org/healthtopics/gravis/box2.cfm

If you are genuinely worried about this, then ask your GP to

refer you to the appropriate specialist to get these specific tests done.

Luv - Sheila

Hello Elaine,

I was trying to catch up with reading all the list mails, and I have become aware that you have currently 3 threads going, each with a different heading and each giving partial information - which makes it difficult to see the full picture.

In an attempt to untangle the different issues -

From your results below there seems no question that you are hypothyroid - Am I correct in assuming that you suffer from autoimmune Thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease)? You would arrive at this diagnosis if you had positive thyroid autoantibodies - either TPO or TgAB. You have not posted any thyroid autoantibody results - or perhaps I have missed them - but you have posted past and present thyroid results, namely:

these are my old results: TSH- 6.2 Free T4- 1.2 T3- 143 These are my new results after 3 months on 25 mcg Thyroxine: TSH- 0.85 T4- 7.7 (4.5-12.5) Free T3- 3.13 (1.5-4.1)

Doc said my 25 micrograms was fine for now........

You also say you suffer from asthma and allergies as well as extreme muscle weakness - and your doctor suspects Myasthenia Gravis because you had a positive ANA test and your CRP marker was positive (indicating inflammation).

I understand that all of this must be frightening and confusing for you, particularly since you are still so very young. It is bad enough when we become hypothyroid during or after the menopause ....

Unfortunately, suffering from one autoimmune disease *may* predispose you for other autoimmune conditions. I do not know if you are suffering from Myasthenia Gravis on top of your thyroid problem, but a positive ANA test and a positive CRP result make that a possibility - No doubt your doctor will want to refer you to a specialist who might order further tests to get to the bottom of what is going on and if a diagnosis of M. Gravis should be confirmed, you will need treatment for that too.

On the positive side - from what I can gather from your thyroid results above, your body seems to be responding well to the thyroid treatment. You said that many of your symptoms have improved already, which is a small miracle, since the dosage of thyroxine seems incredibly low to my mind to show such an improvement in figures. The remaining clinical signs & symptoms could well be part and parcel of what else is going on with your immune system. If you did suffer from M.Gravis then that would certainly explain your extreme muscle weakness and exhaustion. However, getting your thyroid sorted out will help in fighting any other immunity issued that you may have.

I hope this helps a little.

with very best wishes,

[Guest guest]

Hi Elaine

Cannot help with the ANA antibodies but they will be on labtestsonline.com for

you to see what they indicate.

I find low T3 really makes your muscles weak but so does being overactive,

however on that amount of levo you aint gonna be overactive and you might not

even have a T3 over the bottom 1/4 depending on your own function.

Also hypos (this is in the files) are commonly vit D deficient which is another

hormone, one of the very first signs of it is weak muscles and low back pain, I

have it and I am certainly suffering with weakness. My son also has it and he is

only 21 and he feels the weakness occasionally too, and the pains. Go to your Dr

and tell him you are having athritic pains you need your D looking at and a bone

panel, most people with low D often have low calcium which incidentally over

time effects the liver. My son has high bilirubin because of this and looks

fairly yellow at times.

What with all the other things for you to get them to check you might find your

weakness is much improved when properly replaced on thyroid and any deficiencies

are taken care of.

Take care hon

lotsa luv

Dawnx

[Guest guest]

Hi hon

Me again

Just found this meaning you don't necessarily have MG but you may have, I don't

think I have it and I am the one who started this thread, I still have my wheels

but I have the D problems and stuff I mentioned above. Anyway, one thing that

may reassure you is this..

What does a positive ANA result mean?

ANAs are found in patients who have various autoimmune diseases, but not only

autoimmune diseases. ANAs can be found also in patients with infections, cancer,

lung diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, hormonal diseases, blood diseases,

skin diseases, and in elderly people or people with a family history of

rheumatic disease. ANAs are actually found in about 5% of the normal population.

The ANA results are just one factor in diagnosing, and must be considered

together with the patient's clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests.

Medical history also plays a role because some prescription drugs can cause

" drug-induced ANAs " .

http://arthritis.about.com/od/diagnostic/a/ana.htm

So as you can see Elaine, Hormonal diseases, rheumatic, and in 5% of the normal

population.

So don't panic yet hon . Get your tablets and plenty of rest and don't stress

if you can help it.

lotsa luv Dawnx

perfect......he said that if my thyroid treatment didnt take away all my syptoms

in time...then he would look into something else...whats going on im very

worried? and very tired i spend most days sleeping...all day long....a little

help..i get body aches too....i need to go back to my Doctor in a month.....he

is an Internal medecine doctor and immunologist.....
