Re: Auto immune and inheritance

[Guest guest]

HI PAT

This complicates things for me, could a Doctor tell by seeing a photo of my

Mothers neck and scar if she had TB or a goiter removed.From what you say Hashis

or graves can be passed down from either the Mother or Father to a Daughter or a

son. I suppose if both Mother and Father have an autoimmune thyroid problem its

more likely that all their children will inherit it.

I still do not know why I am better off without thyroxine, than when taking it,

and if it will last.

Would you continue without thyroxine until you had symptoms again.

Hi Glynis

I could see that my Father had similarities to me, but none on his side had been

diagnosed with thyroid problems. All I was told that there was a nervous skin

condition in the family on my Fathers side thought to be psoriasis, but another

member has had it diagnosed as ICHYIOTHOSIS, which I have found can relate to

thyroid problems, but again not diagnosed with thyroid due to his smoking

consealing diagnoses. I could see how abnormalities could come about from my

Mother, due to her not being treated for a thyroid problem that would have been

caused by her surgery for TB of her neck. She would have been short of thyroxine

during pregnancies in turn affecting a babies development. We must be getting a

lot of genetic problems come about now due to how the population has increased

in other words we must be getting more related to one another,in turn more

genetic faults appear, plus the effects of polution etc.
