Please help... Thyroid, diabetes tests, etc

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I have been reading about so many on this forum with new diabetes, hashimatos,

and graves disease.

I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago and like many of you have had several

treatments of IV Steroids in the 1st year. I have been progressing fairly fast.

I am in a walker and scooter. I take Copaxone, Cymbalta, Klonopin, Baclofen,

Nexium, Levbid, Vitamin D and now Lipitor.

My bloodwork lately has been showing some odd results.

I haven't had a steroid treatment in about a year now but - in the last 1.5

years I have had

shingles

sudden attack of pancreatitis in ccu for a week then they removed my galbladder

(never had a problem)

developed a growth on my thyroid

high cholesterol

pre-diabetic (getting worse)

****NOW: I just had blood work done yesterday and they called today and told me

I have to come in tomorrow:

My TSH is 0.034 (last year was 2.54)

My T4 is .03 (last year was 1.06)

Blood sugar 107

Someone " mentioned " removal of the thyroid?

What is up with all this? Seems others experience some of the same.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am at the end of my rope.

Thank You,

Eileen

EileenIt isn't uncommon for someone with one autoimmune disease to have another one, as well. There are many autoimmune diseases/disorders out there. There is good information as well as a list here:http://womenshealth.gov/faq/autoimmune-diseases.cfmLet us know what the doctor's office has to say today and I will be thinking about you.big hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Eileen you sure have been through a lot. I do not have MS but my husband does. He was diagnosed with diabetes also. I will keep you in my prayers.
