Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Cricket, I am currently trying to get my blood work copies. I have been to so many docs, showing them those counts and think when they went to take a copy, they did not give me back mine. I had a severe thyroid disease with large nodules, that recently have finally shrunk. My thyroid antibodies as follows: thyroglobulin 12,000 and peroxidase 1100 for almost a year, the count did not change. Anyone with over 2, I think counted in most labs have the disease. most people will have like 70, or perhaps worst case, in the hundreds. I was the highest any doctors have seen. I was told more than once that "something was going on" to create such an auto immune response. 2 weeks after explant- they went to thyroglobulin 90 and the other 70. By the thousands! I should have them checked again. I believe the implant caused an infection within my thyroid gland, the thyroid and breasts are so interrelated it is unbelievable, (if you have cancer ino one, you are statistically very likely to have it in the other) and when the implants were removed, the infection and reaction settled down, causing my body to stop viciously attacking my thyroid. At the time, the thyroid specialist I was seeing at the University of Chicago, told me he has never seen numbers do this so abruptly, and I may be on my way to remission,. I believe I will. I also was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and had all the high factors, of which is now gone after explant, and successful antibiotic therapy for a year and drastic change in diet. I believe, had I not gotten them out, my body, so full of infections, I would continue to self attack ,going almost crazy with them ,and causing more illnesses. Do I ithnk your thyoid condition will get better? If mine did, cant yours? (another thing infection is named to be the trigger cause in auto immune thyroid disease) Love (thyroid question) After you had your implants out, did your imune system stop attacking your thyroid? (did your antibodies decrease) or is this just not reverseable. Will my body continue to attack my thyroid?Went to new doctor this week, he took more blood etc. I should have the results next week. Thanks!Love Cricket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
