RE: Re: Mental Health Forum re Long Term Conditions

[Guest guest]

Hi , I guess we could probably get similar statistics for

most of the listed dangerous consequences of low thyroid below if we tried. Anybody

want to take this on???

Luv - Sheila

Some

common and often undiagnosed symptoms and dangerous consequences of low thyroid

include: serious mental problems (see below), seizures, heart disease,

diabetes including misdiagnosis and complications, constipation resulting in

colon cancer, all female problems (due to high amounts of dangerous forms of

oestrogen), including: tumours, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMS, endometriosis,

breast cancer, miscarriage, heavy periods and cramps, bladder problems leading

to infections, anaemia,

elevated CPK, elevated creatinine, elevated transaminases, hypercapnia,

hyperlipidaemia, hypoglycaemia, hyponatraemia, hypoxia, leukopaenia respiratory

acidosis

and others....

Some

statisfics about mental-health problems.

This could just be a great opportunity to put forward what happens when people

do not get thyroid diagnosis and treatment.........

Website states:

Mental ill health costs the economy £105bn a year - more than the entire NHS

budget1

Mental health accounts for a quarter of all GP consultations1

People with severe mental illness live some 15 years less than their peers1

400,000 people in the UK may have undiagnosed dementia2

Depression is associated with 67 per cent increased mortality from

cardiovascular disease3

70 per cent of people with medically unexplained symptoms also suffer

depression and anxiety disorders

Perhaps we may be the only ones who know that untreated thyroid could do away

with much of this................not all conditions are thyroid related, but

many could be accounted for.

if this could be a good place to push the plight of under-treated and untreated

thyroid and the 'mental health' problem it causes as well as depression being a

symptom of untreated thyroid.
