Thyroid, parathyroid, vitamin deficiencies

[Guest guest]

All,

I had these deficiencies when I was hypothyroid and had to have my

thyroid taken out and I still have to juggle the medications.

Also, pain medications can cause hypothyroidism over time and then in

turn vitamin deficiencies.

I had to take increased amounts of Vitamin D, Calcium, B12 and I had

gotten anemia from the deficiencies. I go to an endocrinologist and

they do look into that and the relationship of your thyroid or

nutrition.

If you do a google search for all three of these vitamins, minerals,

you will find they are all correlated and one depends on the other to

stay regulated.

The one symptom I get and my endocrinologist told me to look for is

numb lips and I so get that and numbness in my legs when my Vitamin D

is low.

So your pcp could refer you to a endocrinologist as they did some other

tests to include homestatis type testing.

Good Luck. You have reminded me to take my vitamins.
