Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 I was diagnosed with hypothroidism in 1987, but probably had it for over 10 years before that. Got my first swelling symptom in 1986. But, my mother took synthroid for over 30 years and had no arthritis! I have PA. Also, those nasty looking discolorations on my back turned out to be, just what you said Cooky, a fungal infection. He gave me a cream. I suppose it's an opportunistic fungus, but my doctor said there was no connection with the minocin. ---------- >Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 04 Nov 1999 04:26:41 -0900 > From: etmj <etmj@...> >Subject: rheumatic....RA and Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism or Goiter > >Hi all, > >I would like to start a new discussion and I hope I am doing this the >right way.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 1999 Report Share Posted November 7, 1999 hi, Glad to hear all you had was that fungal infection. With our immune systems goofy you can expect fungus to show up anywhere. You are taking your acidophilis arn't you?? And also food for those good bugs its called FOS. cooky Patten wrote: > > From: " Patten " <leslie@...> > > I was diagnosed with hypothroidism in 1987, but probably had it for over 10 > years before that.

I wonder what Mr. > thought of that script.... > SGR Yes, it is interesting-- sometimes people who have an interest in something don't always know the full spectrum of, or don't want to take a stance. I am an SLP and I get a monthly magazine that highlights " new " things... in the past, they've talked about the MMT suspicion... then I get one that obviously is propaganda...trying to scare parents into vaccinating their kids and saying that as SLPs we should be ready to support vaccinations. Then I get an issue discussing the benefits of breastfeeding and it's relationship to speech musculature, decreased risk of ear infections, etc. I felt like writing to them and saying HEY-- all the breastmilk in the world is not going to make our kids healthy in lieu of the garbage that we are injecting into their bodies. My son, breastfed well into preschool age, still shows the sensory integration dysfunction, still has allergies, still had asthma... and had all of his vaccines on time. Anyway, I just find it interesting that even though there are people/groups who have a vested interest in keeping kids well/healthy, they don't always realize that part of their role is to present all sides to the story. W p.s. sorry, can't help you on your hypothyroidism question. But my thinking tells me that since hypothyroidism is an immune dysfunction (am I wrong?right?), that it could suggest a familial link -- because there is a body of evidence that suggests that some autisms/pdd's/sensory integrations are an immune-triggered dysfunction, a brain allergy is the term I've seen (do an archive search). Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 Hi Gail, I just stumbled across something in one of my many cookbooks (Gluten Free Gourmet by Bette Hagman). In there, she has a section about Celiac's disease and answers to questions. One of the things I read was that thyroid disease is one of the most frequently associated diseases with Celiacs disease. Also, I am curious about the RH factor...I am not, but my mother was RH negative.....I don't think she had any type of shot back then though...just wondered if there were any more out there with familial history of RH negative.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 , I am curious about the rh factor also. I haven't heard of any connections. My husband and I were both negative. So I did not have the shot with my first three but I did with the fourth(aspergers) because someone wasn't paying attention to the fact that both parents were negative and I was not on top of things due to the recent death of my husband . Has this shot been connected with the mercury problem also?Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious how many of us > on this list are. I have both. > , As I said before, I am Rh negative. Maybe 18 months ago I was diagnosed hypothyroid and was given a supplement (what?). About two months ago I was tested again, by a new doc, and was found to be in the high normal range. (Actually on the first test I showed high, then high normal in the subsequent attempt.) In fact, we had me retested because my doc was so sure I was still hypothyroid. So, who knows? n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 There are a whole bunch of combination supplements sold for this purpose. They usually have " thyro " somewhere in their names. Ask around. Chiropractors tend to know a lot of them, or you can find them on the web.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Yes, I'm on levothyroxin. I had been at the low dose of 25 mg for the last few years. My recent blood tests showed a high TSH level so my doctor increased the levoth.. up to 50 mg. So that indicates that it is prgressing. My family has a history of hyprothyroidism. No, I have not stopped taking the levothyroxin and don't expect to unless my next blood test in 6 months shows a much lowered level of TSH. I am waiting for my script of LDN to arrive so I haven't actually started it yet.
