Re: cea and Thyroid Problems

[Guest guest]

<<

My endocronologist has advised that though I do not need to take

thyroxine yet, it will not be too long before I will have to.

When my rosacea started I also started to lose my hair (which is a

sign of thyroid problems). Does anyone know if an underactive

thyroid can cause or exacerbate rosacea.

i've never heard about

a connection

between

hypothyroid and

rosacea

physical manisfestations of

underactive thyroid:

slowing of heart rate

lowering of body temp.

dryness of hair, skin

slowing of reflexes

lessening of appetite

unexplained weight gain

fatigue

constantly feeling cold

never having enough energy to do anything ...

palor

inablitilty to process beta carotene

these are the effects as i know them

and if your doctor has reason to suspect your

thyroxine levels are too low

don't overdo it on the carrots

and other betacarotene rich veg.

you'll turn orange.

i'd also be

interested

if anyone knows

hypothesizes

fantasizes about a connection

between the two

even though i've just finished saying

i don't think so.

sorry this is reply #2

there is an

auto immune reaction of the body

in which the body sends anti-bodies

to attack its own

thyroid

i can't remember what this is called:

grant's? gray's?

anyone?

anyone?

buler?

anyone?

blah blah blah

(this is making me sound like an airhead, isn't it?)

maybe this is something about that whole

If you're seeing an endocrinologist, Anne, then s/he's the best

person to discuss your concern regarding hypothyroidism. If you

aren't prescribed replacement therapy (yet), then presumeably your

thyroid function tests are within normal range.

Loss of hair can indicate thyroid disease, but it has many other

causes.

Both hyper and hypothyroidism manifest as diseases that are

autoimmune in origin (Graves Disease, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis,

respectively), both of which I believe are associated with rosacea.

Otherwise, there's no relation between thyroid disease per se and

rosacea that I'm aware of. Hypothyroidism (from any cause) usually

causes the skin (all over the body) to become drier than normal.

now,

i'm not trying to be a pain

if i'm succeeding, please accept

you said autoimmune above

and in a previous post

you said

they had nothing to do with autoimmune ...

i'm trying to think:

my sister had some

graves thang

at about the same time as

rosacea

reared it's red (but not ugly) face

i have had a thyroid thang for more than two decades

but

but

but

about six years ago

some new problems

words like

hashimoto's

were tossed around

and

hmmmmm

it seems that my first flirtation with

what i now know to be my own personal manifestation of rosacea

occurred at about that time

or

shortly

thereafter ...

hmm

hmm

hmm

just to be cheeky

i'm going to say it one more time:

autoimmune

I think the connection here would be flushing. Thyroid problems mess with

your body temperature. The overheating and rapid heartbeat can lead to flushing.

WHOA! cea linked with Graves Disease??? I was

diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2000 (had RAI, now on

levoxyl)... and then developed rosacea six months

later. NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THESE ARE LINKED.

Please... give more info! Are there journal articles

I can read? Internet sites to search? I almost want

to cry because it feels like a piece of the puzzle

coming together!

THANK YOU!

Hold the phone! I have Graves and cea... and have

this... amazing! All this time I wondered if they

were linked!

Stacie,

One of these diseases is Hashimotos. I had a partial

thyroidectomy last fall and was diagnosed with it. I was

hypothyroid for almost 10 years before this was resolved.

Because my thyroid was swelling and considered substernal

(usually the enlargement grows out the side of the necK) and

was pushing against my windpipe, I opted for the surgery. Glad I

did.

Kind Regards,

Tammy
