Online Clinic Confusion

[Guest guest]

Hello....

I am wondering how much of the anger with the online experts is due to the

confusion created by the dual and quite separate meanings for " hypothyroidism. "

Which is the meaning that you use? A deficiency in the secretion of thyroid

hormones by the thyroid gland? Or a deficiency of thyroid hormones in the body?

The problem here is that consideration of the symptoms is more associated with a

deficiency of thyroid hormones in the body. But the " experts " are undoubtedly

using the first definition, a deficiency in the secretion of thyroid hormones by

the thyroid gland. This can be backed up in two ways. First, that is what

hypo-thyroid-ism means. Second, a textual analysis of the guidelines and

statements do not address any other bodily function - only the thyroid gland -

although some implications on the pituitary can be derived.

A deficiency of thyroid hormones implies more bodily functions. It implicates

the thyroid gland and the post thyroid functions of peripheral metabolism and

peripheral cellular hormone reception....

Of course, noting which definition is the operative definition is never done.

So when the expert is using one and the online inquirer is using the other,

confusion and frustration are bound to happen.

Have a great day,
