Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 - Welcome to the group. I am glad you found a place where you can honestly discuss everything from pain to joy, and rage at doctors too, if need be. Your experience only strengthens my conviction to be in charge of my medical destiny, because doctors can make mistakes, which are sometimes very costly. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 , I am so sorry to have to welcome you to our group. It is always so sad it find another person has experienced loss. But I am very glad that you found the group. They are a great group of ladies. I so sorry that your doctor didn't do his job as he should have...there are follow ups he should have done that he obviously did not. I can't even imagine how angry you must be (considering I'm fuming). So many doctors are so poorly equipped with knowledge to handle ectopics and I just can't understand why that is when it is such a life threatening thing. You do sound like you are handling this all very well emotionally so far. But at any time if you want to unload on us, please do...that's why we're here. Take care of yourself. -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 Hi Sara I'v had MTC for 18 yrs. My T levels have fluctuated thruout the yrs. and the docs have changed my dosage over a dozen times, sometimes 2-3 x's in one yr. No big deal. Also, re: menapause. I was irregular all my life & my doc related that to the thyroid problem. Even after it was removed I still had a lifetime of irregularity. Menapause is just that. Irregularity for most women so I wouldn't be alarmed. My GYN put me on the Combipatch and it has really worked out great for me. NO PILLS! and it takes care of the night sweats pretty good. I wish you well. sarahmckasson wrote:Hello all, Just joined this group. I had thyroid cancer 25 years ago. Have been on synthetic thyroid ever since. My current dose is 0.3 MG of Levoxyl.

Does a low TSH mean you are hyperthyroid? I'm confused. In addition, I just started natural hormone replacement therapy last month because I was having lots of hot flashes, etc. Anyone have any information about menopause and not having a thyroid gland?

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 Hi , Welcome to this very informative group. I believe the general consensus is that TSH needs to be less than 0.1. At less than 0.02, you're lower than you need to be. Yes, you are in the hyperthyroid range, but normal suppression of less than 0.1 is also considered hyperthyroid. There's various thoughts that hyperthyroidism might cause osteoporosis. Although, I thought I saw a study that concluded that it was natural hyperthyroidism that led to osteoporosis and artificial hyperthyroidism (that's us!) are OK. Anyway, try to find out what TSH your endo is aiming for. I can't say anything about menopause and thyca but there was a discussion here a few weeks ago. You can probably find it in the archives. I concluded that thyroid problems could cause early menopause but I don't think there was a consensus. Hope that helps. Betty mailto:bettyy@...

As others have mentioned, the goal for thyca patients is to keep our TSH <0.1. That is technically hyperthyroid (hyper is generally, depending on the lab, about 0.3-5.0), and is done to prevent the cancer from recurring. However, there is some concern about long term bone loss with levels being very low. So it's a balancing act. > In addition, I just started natural > hormone replacement therapy last month because I was having lots of > hot flashes, etc. Anyone have any information about menopause and > not having a thyroid gland? When you say natural hrt, are you taking estrogen? From http://thyroid.about.com/library/weekly/aa032398.htm : " Women taking estrogen [snip]may need to take more thyroid replacement hormone. Estrogen increases the body's production of a blood protein that binds thyroid hormone to it, making it inactive. For women without thyroids in particular, this can cause a need to increase the dosage level slightly, as there is no thyroid to compensate. " Essentially, yes, menopause can mean a change in thyroid hormone levels. And, the bone loss issue becomes more important, since it happens to post-menopausal women. You definitely should be getting a bone density test (baseline) and taking calcium and doing other things to ensure healthy bones. >Sorry this is so rambling. I had almost > my entire thyroid gland removed - they left a small amount to > protect the parathyroid gland. There are actually 4 of those little critters :-). Obviously, you did not have RAI (radioiodine) treatment done - which is a bit different than what is usually done these days. > Thanks for any infomation you may have.
