Dear Roni

I am owner/founder of Thyroid Patient Advocacy (TPA) and I run

the Internet Thyroid Support Forum, of which you apparently are a member,

otherwise you would not have received that message.

I do not send Spam (I am not aware that any Group accepts

Spam), and I have not posted this particular message to any group, only to my

members individually. Are you the Roni who posts on the forum

'Hypothyroidism'?

The message I posted was to ask of those members who have been

successfully treated with T3, either on it's own or in natural thyroid extract,

to send their success stories to (author of 'Recovering with T3).

HI SHEILA,

I have gone downhill lately, and at the moment I do not know why. I feel very tired as if I am not taking enough T3, but there could be other reasons, as I was coughing a bit today, and this is how I was before having that polyp removed, then on top of that succomed to another bug and ended up with pneumonia and back in a hospital that I would have preferred not to have.

I am very much concerned when my lungs bother me having suffered a lot in childhood, and the fact that the notes applicable to that have been removed from my records, which is not allowed and comes under the data protection act.

I have just sent them off reminders and how far they have progressed with locating them.

Within the few notes that I have from this GP in question, and this was when I had the cystoscophy. It states my weight which was 9 stone 3 pounds, and my weight was always about 9 stone. This report was in 1982, so not being overweight does not appear to me that I had Hypothyroidism.

However I was put on Pimozide in 1985, and diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about a couple of years after, and my weight along with the increase in Thyroxine went up to a whopping 17stone, and thyroxine went up to 150mcg. On coming off of Pimozide nobody could keep up with me on the tills

Could Pimozide have caused me to have Hypothyroidism, infact did it damage my thyroid gland.

Could you offer any views on this.

I have also sent the record on my weight to "The mental health trust" involved to show that Pimozide did in fact cause me to either put on weight or cause Hypothyroidism.

Best wishes

From Kathleen

How much T3 are you taking Kathleen and when was the last time

you increased your dose. You need to increase it by 10mcgs daily every 3 weeks

or so until you find the dose where your symptoms are getting much better. If

you have not had an increase for some time, perhaps you should go for it.

10mcgs is the usual way to go, but some feel better increasing more slowly with

only 5mcgs, but if increasing with this small dose only, then increase it every

2 weeks.

I do not know that Pimazole could be a cause of hypothyroidism,

but look at the information here http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/pimozide

Sheila I have not long increased the T3 from 25mcg at about 6.30am 25mcg at 12.0

noon and 12 1/2 mcg at 6.00 pm, so I increased the 6.00 pm dose up to 25mcg. I

have even tried decreasing it but that did not help so went back to the 25mcg 3

times a day.

I have looked up the link on Pimozide, and I did not have Tourettes, so it has

been used for something it is not designed to be used for, so the drug company

cannot be blamed.

I was also prescribed Erithromycin with it as the Chemist used to ring the GP up

before allowing me to have it.

When I first started taking this drug I did query about the urinary problems, as

it has now been established through missing records plus the fact that I was not

informed of a Cystorectocele that I believe was caused through sterilization.

The weight put on with Pimozide would not have helpeed with that either.

I can assure you that it caused constipation in turn causing the prolapse to

worsen.

Most of the time I was on Pimozide I was also being prescribed Regulan which in

turn caused the bowel to be loose. This worsened when they changed the

ingrediants to Asphartame. This caused me to stop taking it, and in the end was

in so much pain with constipation that I had to go from work to the surgery, and

was told that the pain was caused by constipation, so back on the Regulan.

I did almost flake out on Pimozide, and also applies to Fruesimide. I believe

that the electrolyte imbalance may well have been due to the after effects of

coming off pimozide, and I did not just suddenly stop taking it.

I had in the past been informed that I had temporal lobe epilepsy so why put me

on a drug like that.

I also had what felt like a nasty bout of flu just after being put on this drug.

I was urged to start out at work once on this drug, and it was only part time on

tills in my local supermarket, but in the first week I had a bad headache, and

felt sick, so as it was in a food shop I was sent home.

My GP diagnosed it as a Migraine so more pills which in turn added to my weight.

It states that it causes muscle problems so could I be suffering from the

effects of that drug (could it have caused permament damage).

In the Wikepedia it does also state that it causes breast cancer and liver

cancer in animals and possibly in humans which I feel that it did in me.

Having been to my GP today he has instructed me to cut down the Prednisolone to

5mgs every other day and then to go back to him in two weeks time and he will

arrange another ESR test.

On the Gyny side he is going to talk to another GP who is more expert to see if

a Translabial scan would help pinpoint the problem regarding the surgery that

was done.

Having read much in the news about these antipsychotic drugs with warnings from

the Government, that they should not be used on the elderly as in turn they make

them worse and can cause sudden death, yet knowing the dangers of these drugs

they are still using them.

Does anyone also know what chemicals Pimozide affects in the brain and if in

turn it would cause Hypothyroidism or worsen it.

My GP dismisses that my thyroid problem is caused by Hashimotos, as I questioned

him about the fact that my weight was only 9stone 3pounds in 1982, and in 1985

was the year that I was put on Pimozide being told that it was a safe drug (I

was suffering from depression).

I was kept on this drug for 14 years and my weight 17stone, so Pimozide causes

ill health, and at this time found to have breast cancer and a worsening of

incontinence, and I was not incontinent before having Pimozide.

I hope that I have spelled out the harm these drugs can cause.

Many of us have been told that we are deluded, so they prescribe us drugs to

shut us up, so perhaps honesty to a Doctor is not worth it, so I am going to

resort to being MUM, and keep quiet on some issues to see what I am then

diagnosed with.
