Re: cea and hypothyroidism and Levothyroxine

[Guest guest]

Do we have a name we can call you?

Ask your GP to refer you to an endocrinologist as you are not

prepared to put up with your ill health any longer and that you would like a

trial of T3 in place of the mainly inactive thyroid hormone T4 to see if this

helps. Tell your GP that you are aware that thyroxine is a mainly inactive

hormone and that it has to convert to the ACTIVE thyroid hormone T3. It is T3

that every cell in your body and brain needs to make them function. I will send

you a list of endocrinologists who will prescribe either T3 or natural thyroid

extract for those who are not doing well on T4 only.

You should ask your GP WHY you cannot have natural thyroid

extract and he should give specific reasons. Then when you have these, we can

hopefully give him correct answers and show him that the MHRA have stated NHS

doctors CAN prescribe it for those patients who don't do well on T4-only, so

long as they take full responsibility for this as NDT remains unlicensed in

this country - but this is because it never required a license in the first

place.

I've already been told by my GP that I can't have natural thyroid replacement

so I've given up on that. I feel like crying. Oh I am now crying!!

I have five year old twins and was diagnosed hypothyroid when they were 18

months old. They started school this year and I guess it's the first time I've

really started having time to think about myself again and what do I see in the

mirror?!?!

Has anyone else had any experience of this?

Thanks.

Hi,

before i was diagnosed my face would burn when i came out of the shower or bath

and was bright red, also when i went to a clinique counter and said that there

products were burning my face the lady said that i have a hormone problem, when

i started Erfa my problem has reduced so much i dont get it as much just a bit.

I have never taken LEVO.

> Hello,I was refused natural thyroid initially and I have rosacea too. I have

the red, burning face and I had the huge boil like eruptions on the end of my

nose, which is not my most attractive look. I had lots of other more serious

problems too and eventually saw an endo who first tried me on T4 (levo) T3

combination which alas I didn't improve on.

In the end I suggested Armour thyroid to him and he put it to me that if I

bought it myself and improved on it then he would recommend to my GP that he

prescribes it - which i did and he did. It's taken a quite a long time, but my

rosacea has improved, I still get a very red face after using shampoo or putting

face cream on but it settles down and I mainly just have healthy looking pink

cheeks.

The huge boil like eruptions are very few and far between, I put it down to

being run down and over doing it. It's good you're looking into helping yourself

now. The one good thing about this disease is that it can be very responsive to

self help and there's an absolute mine of self help information on here. Good

luck.

Many thanks

This is just so easy to cure yet so hard to do it! The way that I got rid of

mine is to give up grain and sugar, it was gone within a couple of weeks. If I

weaken and eat the wrong stuff it will come back. I tried all the doctor's

creams, they are useless. It is a fungal infection that feeds on the sugar in

your body so deprive it of its food and it will go away.

I must reply, sorry to say that cea is NOT a fungus. If it was, then simply applying or taking orally an antifungal would cure it. Unfortunately it is not curable but can be reduced in intensity, no one really knows what causes it except that some people have a flare up due to various things like something they've eaten. It can be very individual in it's manifestation. You can have Laser treatment which greatly reduces the effect, so does applying Antibiotic cream to the area or taking Antibiotics for periods of time.

Hi, it was a couple of years ago now, Sheila and at the time I let you know

about him but about a year later he sadly died suddenly, he was only in his

early 40s too.

[Guest guest]

Oh dear - how very sad! However, I cannot remember

removing any endocrinologist from my list because he had died, so can you let

me know his name in case he is still on my list please. Send privately to

[sheilaturner@...]
