Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Are you in need of B12 Shaw and have you ever been tested to see if you have TPO or Tg antibodies. If you have Hashimoto's, it could be that the antibodies are attacking your thyroid gland right now and causing these problems. Luv - Sheila i did put up a post the other day and thought it was possibly unanswerable, regarding even though i've had a hysterectomy i still suffer all the symptosm of a " monthly " although i am doing brill on T3 when my " monthly " is due i go seriously hypo I'm not sure what is happening at the moment , my throat feels heavy and full but i cannot see any outer swelling, my arms are hurting again and i feel tired , BUT i'm loosing my weight lovely and naturally, hair feeling pretty good skin good eyes pretty clear, i did stop the spatone to see if i did ok without it , got the ringing back in my ears feeling jelly legged and dizzy again? If anyone has any ideas what i'm doing wrong i would be eternally grateful thanks love Sha xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx No virus found in this message.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 If you have a hysterectomy where they left at least one ovary intact, then you will still get the hormonal 'storm' when the ovaries do their thing. If you had both ovaries taken out, then it may be that there wasn't a full removal of all ovary tissue and you are still getting hormones from the bits left inside you. > > Hi all > i did put up a post the other day and thought it was possibly unanswerable, regarding even though i've had a hysterectomy i still suffer all the symptosm of a " monthly " although i am doing brill on T3 when my " monthly " is due i go seriously hypo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 You should be taking Selenium 200mcgs daily if you have thyroid antibodies. Selenium helps reduce them. You should also be going gluten free, if you are not already, because antibodies thrive on gluten. You could try B12 1000mcgs daily (sublingual from Solgar). Have you had any recent iron tests done together with ferritin, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc Sha. If not, ask your GP to test these.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi having symptoms of monthly`s is not unusual, i did until the end of meno. i used and still do progesterone cream. when you have hypothyroid problems it causes other hormones to imbalance. usually this causes estrogen to be higher leading up to the bleed. (called PMT orPMS ) the prog cream stops this and re-balances your hormone level. if you have this problem then you need the cream, and if your bones are not good then the cream will also help with this.their is a feed back system working in the endocrine (gland and hormones) that need to be balanced to stay well.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have not just gone gluten free but near enough grain free (all I have is cornflour for my gravies and half a cup of rice once a week). My shopping bills have DROPPED. I just don't bother with the gluten free alternatives, that makes it very pricey (one little gluten free Xmas pud this year). I no longer have bread or any alternative, I just have a salad instead of a sandwich. I make muffins with almond flour and freeze them so I can have a treat whenever I feel like it. Without all the 'nibbles' to buy like biscuits (3 or 4 packs a week), crackers, bread (3 loaves a week), crisp type snacks (crisps are fine if the flavourings don't have wheat, but most of the puffed ones are loaded), pitta breads, wraps, cakes, pies, pastries. etc etc etc. It adds up to £20 a week easily. 2 > I've tried gluten free , its sooooo expensive and didn't make any difference, i don't really want to have to go down that route unless i really really have to. > Thankyou ever so much > love Sha xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi when i tried it shopping bills trebled easily, i was tested to see if i needed to go gluten free and i was not having any adverse reactions to gluten. We don't eat biscuits anyway, i like a sandwich and gluten free bread may as well be cardboard, i even went to making my own. It really didn't make a blind bit of difference to my symptoms so went back to eating normally, this blip only happens when i would be due my period its not all the time, i only get the full feeling in my throat at "that time of the month" you must have some willpower 2 to give up all of that, i thrive on salt and vinegar crisps they ease my belly .Thankyou very much anyway, but as i said before i really am not going to go down that route unless it shows majorly beneficial, and the last time i tried no change.love Sha xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthyroid treatment From: julie@...Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:17:34 +0000Subject: Re: a little help needed please I have not just gone gluten free but near enough grain free (all I have is cornflour for my gravies and half a cup of rice once a week).

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've been gluten free for 15 years, and the main expense is when I'm out and about and can't buy a sandwich or other cheap snack. When you have to go into a cafe or restaurant and get an actual meal instead, obviously that costs a lot more - and often the cheaper things on the menu are out of bounds, too. However I do have some other options for a 'street snack' - for example, a packet of carrot batons and a tub of hummus from a supermarket. An apple and some cheese and some oatcakes, if you can eat those. (I can, but in moderation.) In my general groceries, I don't spend a lot more - I buy few gluten-free products. The pasta is cheap. (Compared with 15 years ago, it's ALL much cheaper!). I make my own bread from gram/brown rice/tapioca/buckwheat (etc) non-wheat flours. Yes, they're more expensive than wheat-flour but it's not a huge expense. If it didn't really make any difference, then you may not need to do it anyway! But for those who do, it doesn't need to cost a fortune. It just takes a bit of planning. > > I've tried gluten free , its sooooo expensive and didn't make any difference, i don't really want to have to go down that route unless i really really have to.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi , not all hashimoto`s patients are allergic to gluten, or other foods. some of us have environmental allergies . it all depends on your genes. mine is plasters(dressings) , and any thing rubbing the skin. as in irritant and contact dermatitis.Angel.
