Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Krista - can't wait to see your new hair!!!! I cut all of mine off several months ago and got bangs for the first time in my life!!!! I like it but I am still trying to get used to the bangs!!!!! Hopefully you will noticed your hair getting thicker and you can grow it out again if that is what you want to do. I know I LOVE my shorter hair - less styling and time. Can't wait to see it and see if it helps. I have noticed that my hair does not seem to be falling out as much anymore. Some days are better than others but it gives me hope that one day it will stop falling out and be back to normal!!!! Much Love, Beth Re: Rapid Heartbeat Hey CLynn- Haven't you from you in awhile. How are you feeling? I wasgoing to send you a message through myspace last night, but I forgot!I hope you are feeling better.I just wanted to tell you (and Steph too) that I have decided to cutmy hair. It's not an easy decision by any means, but I am actuallyexcited about it! I've lost so much hair with all of this and Ialready had thin hair to begin with. I'm losing less then I was withimplants, but I think I am still losing because it is just too longright now. I've decided to cut it off and "start over." I'm hoping Ihave regrowth, and by cutting it my re-growth can catch up!I will post pics on my myspace so you guys can see my new cut! I amdoing it on Feb.2nd.Love you,Krista> > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > > > > > > > Steph ~> > > > > > > > > > > > > Yes, and lots of things can cause it.> > > > > > > > > > > > > Do you know how many heartbeats> > > > > > > > > > > > > per minute it was beating?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi Krista, Sorry, I have been sick lately but seem to be on the up swing (Thank you God).

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 , Right when I got sick in Dec of 06 I noticed the most hair loss but once I got on thyroid meds it helped. Now I am back to losing quite a bit. No bald spots yet but I am still not happy about the handful I lose each morning. I am going to cut it shorter and see if that helps. My hair is getting long and tangles easy, so I pull out a lot trying to untangle it each morning. Are you losing hait too?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have extremely thick hair and have always shed really bad a couple times a year, i know i sound like a dog , but i thought maybe thats what may be going on with you. I have oticed that since i got my implants it si more of a common thing rather then a seasonal thing but it does not seem to be any worse as far as the amount that comes out. Cutting you hair will definetly make it look thicker and fuller. I worked in a salon for years and most of the women that had very thin or fine hair loved the " bob " cuts because it made their hair look so nice. Is the hair loss moe of a shedding thing or a coming out in clumps thing? There are soooo many different things that can contribute to hair loss its unreal. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Steph ~ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Yes, and lots of things can cause it. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Do you know how many heartbeats > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > per minute it was beating?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 It's definitely not fun! Do you know what your thyroid antibodies were? Mine came back 11 and I joined a thyroid forum. One of the moderators said that we shouldn't have any thyroid antiboides in our bodies so she seems to think even an 11 is bad.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I need to get it retested but I assume it has because my thyroiditis is gone. That was so painful, could barely touch a sheet to my neck. I'll ask my doctor to retest just for curiousity sake.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Dearest Lynn and Steph: My doctor told me that I was on too much Synthroid, and that is what caused by heart to race. He cut the dose to 0.15mg and it was 0.175mg, today I started the lower dose. I was losing weight on the higher dose...we think. Take care dear ones...love you both......Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```` Re: Rapid Heartbeat Lynn that's great to hear it's gone.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Steph, I do need to get the TPO tested again but all of my other numbers are now normal. My TSH was almost 4 and now it is 1.09 or something like that. But the pain and thyroiditis is gone, so I am assuming the TPO is probably lower because the pain is gone. There were times when I felt like a pill was stuck in my throat, I could not wear high collared shirts or necklaces either... I had Hashimotos. I tried Armour too but it didn't work for me. It was too much, caused rapid heart beats. But, I think my adrenals are poor and so armour is not a good drug until I can get them up and going too. The depression did subside once I got my TSH down. Now that I cut my hair, I can't tell if I am losing hair or not, it is wonderful Love, Lynn > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Steph ~ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Yes, and lots of things can cause > it. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Do you know how many heartbeats > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > per minute it was beating?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi Lynn, What type of pain did you have and how long did it take before you noticed a difference?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Steph, I have so many joint and muscles pains which I still have on and off. But Thyroid only.... I had tenderness on neck where my thyroid is. I could not touch my thyroid without pain. I could not touch a sheet to it at night, it was that sore. I could not wear a necklace because it caused pain, no clothes could touch my thyroid. It felt like a constant pulsing and throbbing sensation. When I swallowed it felt like I had a pill stuck in my throat. Synthroid and I think armour takes awhile to get in your system. I believe it took about 4 to 6 weeks before the thyroid pain was gone! I can now wear necklaces, wear sheets at night, turtlenecks, etc. NO more throbbing pains. So patience is the key with this. It hurt like hell though. I took naprosyn and it seemed to reduce the inflammation when it got too bad to bear. I was depressed too, never had been in my life. I went to see a psychiatrist and when he found out my TSH was almost 4.0 he said that is what was causing my depression. He said it must be below 2.0!! Now that it is 1.09, no depression whatsoever. I get sad because of the illness but that is just self pity and not really depression. Your TPO did not seem to high, you said 11 right? Mine was 350 - normal is 0-34. My Triiodothyronine, Free, Serum was 3.3 and normal is 2.3-4.2. So, I am not sure what your 11 was? Was it TPO (thyroid peroxidase) Ab or Triiodothyronine, Free, Serum? Sorry you aren't feeling well. It does take awhile for the armour to kick in and waiting can seem like forever!!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi Lynn, My thyroid antibodies were 11. That's TPO right? Did the synthroid help with your aches and pains. I heard that can be a symptom of hypothyroidism. How much synthroid to you take per day? I'm only on 15 mg of armour but I don't think that's enough.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Steph, that is a blessing not to be ANA positive. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Keep looking at the positives. You said you have been on Armour for 1 month. I get to see the doctor on Tuesday. How long does it take to get the thyroid right? In a message dated 1/27/2008 8:26:53 P.M.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Steph, I am not sure if TPO and thyroid antibodies are the same, I am assuming yes. I would be thrilled with an 11 TPO!! That is normal. The TPO scale for normal is 0-34. Do you have a copy of your labs? I keep a file of copies of all my labs so I can document progress and what the normal ranges are. I would find out where the 11 falls in the range if I were you. I am on .075 mcg of synthroid. It is hard to compare armour to synthroid though. You do not want too much armour because it can cause hyperthyroidism and that is not fun at all!! It can cause some serious issues (heart, etc). You should find out what the normal range of thyroid antibodies is. Ask for a copy of your lab work, they have to give it to you. Start a file. If you are in the normal ranges, I am not sure why you are on armour at all? You might want to chat with Patty about this. Patty takes armour. I wish I could be of more help. The synthroid helped with some of my aches and pains but not all. I no longer feel like I am 90, but I still ache. It could be fibromyalgia/CFS though. I also have auto- immune issues too. My ANA is 1:160! Which is high high high. My thryoid issues are just one small part of a big implant illness puzzle in my body. Those implants caused havoc on my entire body. What type of issues are you having? How long have you been explanted now? Did you have your implants removed En Bloc?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Lea, You have to be careful with too much synthroid (or armour) too. It can cause heart issues. I am glad your doctor noticed. I am thinking my dose is too high too. I have rapid heart beats, can't sleep well and I have lost more weight without even trying. I am figgity too. I just had a thyroid panel run last week, I am wondering if he will take me down to .050 mcg? Big hugs Lea!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi Lynn, I do have my blood work results. I checked and the thyroid anti body range is 0-32. I was explanted on Nov 8 of last year with a total capsulectomy. I have some hair loss, hypothyroidism, eyelid swelling, and some occasional aches. I've been sick with a slight fever and a sore throat for the past couple of days which I think is due to a sinus infection. I noticed that today my face looks flushed. Has that ever happened to you? Along with the hormone test my dr also tested me for the ANA antibody test and it came back negative, which I guess means that I don't have lupus. My TSH is 2.14 which should be lower. I wanted to get all of the testing done at once. I'm so sick of it.
