Re: under active thyroid in an elite athlete

[Guest guest]

Hi

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?id=606391

this site shows some of the problems and where they come from.

If you enter the search terms 'diabetes' and 'thyroid' there are some

clues about why the thyroid may have begun playing up apart from,

perhaps, irregular and badly timed eating arrangements.....either

way, known to disrupt thyroid function.....frequent eating throughout

the day appears to 'flatten' thyroid output/conversion.

Steve Redgrave's wife is a doctor and has helped him with his

treatments and therefore with his training, in the past.

There is a close link between thyroid dysfunction and diabetes.

best wishes

tend to cope better with sport as I know that the top 15 year old

girl swimmer in Britain is diabetic and she is the junior record

holder in a number of events! Could of course be that she has been

medicated for a number of years and it is no longer an issue for her.

Oh dear

- I see what you mean, I need to get this updated. However, Dr Peatfield has

clinics at Crawley every Tuesdays and Thursdays, except when travelling

to his other clinics. He is away at the moment at his Malvern Clinic on 19th

and 20th so you probably will not hear from him now until after Christmas, though

you could try telephoning him when he returns on 01883 623125

Hi Shelia,

I have emailed Dr P. I can get to Crawley but there are no valid dates

showing.

Thanks

Hi Ann, sorry I don't, If we do find a GP who does around here there's

going to be a long queue. My wife and myself have just been to see Dr

P this week over in Crawley.

Thanks for your reply, I'll have to find out more about Dr.P
