Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Gillian, I'll have to check on this. It has not been mentioned. I did note that the pulmonary doctor was very interested in the new endocrinologist I have just picked up. How is this checked?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Alice, That thyroid has the potential to be causing you and your mito. more problems than you realise. Do a quick read through some of the about com thyroid links I have posted for others here...All the info. is there re-testing.. Yes it does affect the heart..thyroid/mitral valve probs go hand in glove together as does diastolic dysfunction..My Echo was run by Mito/Cardio researcher (St s Medical School London ).. showed diastolic dysfunction and mitral valve regurgitation....He had no hesitation in putting in my officail Mito. records for the neuro (before the neuro. booted me to metabolics ) that I had no mito cardio dysfunction ..the heart abnormalities are autoimmune thyroiditis as causative with possible adrenal involvement.... when Dr. Elliot speaks..neuro's take note Try reading about it Alice if you can...it may be of great help to you I seem to remember there is a section for nodules and goitres...your new Endo. sounds great Gillian > > > > Alice, I hope your PCP and neuro come up with some good > > recommendations for you.
