Thyroid

[Guest guest]

Dear Mr. ,

My niece is still having alot of problems. She started out with Graves

Disease, after they did the radium treatment,(about 3 mos.) she started

swelling, they then took her off her thyroid medicene, she then got

tingling & numb face & hands & had headaches.

Her skin is discolored, very dry, peeling, cracking & itchy. Her skin

feels like leather.

She had a blood test this last week,to check calcium level, told her it

was normal. Her thyroid tested dangerously low, could go into a coma,

but they have not put her back on medicene to get level back up, as the

specialist in Toledo, Oh. says she needs to see a dermatologist today!

She has so many doctors, & none has any idea what to do anymore! Her

hometown Dr. says she is learning along with her, as she has never dealt

with anything like this before.

I am very woriied about her, she is very bloated & puffy, she looks like

death. Still, she is losing weight. She was hyper before the radium, &

now is hypo after????? Her feet have turned a blackish brown color, &

cracking open, looks like they could be amputated.

Thanks for your help,

Marilyn

Dear Mr. ,

My niece just got back from her dermatologist, she was told that her

skin problems are from the sun, and taking Advil alot due to back pain,

she took advil for a couple years for pain. She also said that it could

possibly be the radium coming out of her body. So, I don't think any of

these Drs. know anymore than when she started out with this.

Thanks for listening, if you can add anything, please don't hesitate.

Oops--I'm way behind on my e-mail due to some intestinal problems. The

doctor's name is Langer. There's an article by him in the

Alternative Medicine Digest:

http://www.alternativemedicine.com/digest/issue16/i16-a52.shtml

I haven't quite figured out this whole thyroid thing yet. I have a

T4/T3 ratio problem (below range free T3) that I'm still trying to

figure out the best approach to. I got it through my HMO strangely

enough, but I'm not sure treating it with thyroxine is the ticket.

Hello , I talked to this Dr. in Berkey and she seems amazing and

very knowlegable. One of her areas of expertise is thyroid and adrennal

insufficiency. Her name is Dr. S. Fehrmann. She seems very

" intune. " I'm not sure if I can give phone #'s over this site..I heard

somewhere that I am not sapposed to do that. If you can't get her # from

directory and if it is ok I will post her ph#. She gives free phone

consultations.

It wouldn't be appropriate to give out her phone # on a

mail list without the her permission, but she probably

wouldn't mind if you gave it to this person ONLY. Just

send her an email direct, not through the list.

Hi Julee,

Thanks for the name. I will try to get her phone number from information.

Or, maybe you can email it to me privately. I have a goiter, and have

been told my adrenal glands are out of wack. No one seems to think the

goiter needs to be addressed if it isn't growing. I would like to see if

I can treat it and my adrenal system before I have worse problems.

Thanks again,

Hello!

I'd be interested in a consultation, also! If you find you shouldn't

give her number, could you tell us what city and state she lives in so we

can look her up?

Thanks!

Morning Jody, I have been on thyroid for several years. My first Dr. that

delivered my first baby, said I had a low thyroid but I didn't have to take

anyting for it if I didn't want to. So I didn't. I hated taking pills. A

couple of years later, a different Dr. put me on it. Then after about 1 yr

I went off for many untill about 5 years ago, my Dr. now put me back on.

But I have always had this darn hair loss. Apparently it comes in but falls

out. Because my brush is just full. Lynn aih

Hi Lynn,

Just a thought on this....is the doctor treating you for your thyroid an

endocrinologist? I ask this because thyroid is tricky. Your labs should

read on the high side of normal to feel well. I have had this experience.

My GI doc was prescribing my thyroid for several years and I would go in

complaining of being tired and other things. My thyroid (on medication for

it) was always on the low side of normal. He kept telling me it was my liver

disease. I finally saw an endocrinologist when my bones started giving out.

He checked my thryoid too and said it was too low....that it needed to be on

the high side of normal. We increased my dosage and I felt better after

about 3 weeks. The persistent hair loss is a side effect of low thyroid. Of

course it also is related to pred and imuran.

[Guest guest]

Wow, I am going to look into this. I will have to call and get a looooonger

appt. so he can answer all my questions! No, he is a MD. But he is good and I

can actually talk to him and get answers, wether I like them or not! Thanks,

That's what I Heard, . It's believable too, because of all the

testimonies of people complaining of thyroid symptoms, and still testing

'normal'. I read that in a medical paper. It would tend to make a person

investigate their own thyroid more thoroughly if they feel hypo, but test

'normal'. Sometimes doctors do not ask enough questions. They just love

that Synthroid, which is inadequate for some people. I looked into natural

medicine, and am happy with the thorough investigating the practitioners are

doing.

, Information I found out of my book when I was

reading about hormone therapy.

"When thyroid hormone is deficient, the body cannot convert

cholesterol into the key steroidal (anti-aging) hormones, including

pregnenolone, progesterone, and DHEA."

Take that thyroid medicine or you will remain estrogen dominant

forever! Also to book mentions that taking coconut oil helps

improve thyroid function. And stay away from soybean, safflower,

canola, flaxseed, fish, borage, and evening primrose oils. Olive oil

is good. These other oils boost estogen effects.

Roni,

I am going through the same thing right now! Let me

know what you find out. I have not had my thyroid

checked in over a year and need to do so. There is

alot of discussion that you can be " pre-clinical " on a

TSH test, but still be running low on thyroid. Some

MD's have prescibed small amounts of thyroid

supplements for those that are predisposed.

Its totally bizarre. I am a very *warm* natured person

but NOW my extremities get cold very very easily. This

is a new thing.

Also, my hair is thinning and I am a 38 year old male

in otherwise decent health with NO family history on

either side of male pattern baldness. Just to try to

slow the hair loss, I have started taking Propecia

daily. I also started using Nizoral shampoo (avail. at

Walgreens) last week.

I should also mention that both my parents are

hypo-thyroid and were originally diagnosed around my

same age.

I have noted that eating any sugar exascerbates the

symptoms. Have you noticed this? Perhaps Candida and

Hypothyroidism are somehow related?

When I return from this trip, I intend to:

1. get my TSH checked

2. use Great Smokey Diagnostic labs to run the Candida

and parasite tests.

3. continue to cut out carbs and sugar (I cheat from

time-to-time)

Lastly, have you also noted that your complection gets

milkier with more acne like symptons -- especially on

the forehead and scalp? Are you also a good deal

thirstier throughout the day? I have noticed these

symptons, along with the continued brain fog and

moodiness (weird for me because I am usually very easy

to get along with).

Anyone have some other input here?

Is Candida causing an iron, B-complex, magnesium or

calcium deficiency that is also causing all of this???

Please fire away...I want to make this stop.

THANKS!

Hi BW!

<Its totally bizarre. I am a very *warm* natured person

but NOW my extremities get cold very very easily. This

is a new thing.>

Yes, I can't sleep at night when me feet are too cold. It almost

hurts!!

<I have noted that eating any sugar exascerbates the

symptoms. Have you noticed this? Perhaps Candida and

Hypothyroidism are somehow related?>

Since the first of the year, I have been following the diet very

strictly. I want to say that my hair loss isn't as bad anymore (but

everytime I think I'm getting better, I'm not...so all I can do is wait).

Maybe the symptoms between Candida and thyroidism are related. It's pretty

bad when you're a 29 year old female and your hair is falling out!!!

<Great Smokey Diagnostic>

I had the GS test done for Candida Alblicans but it came back

negative. But I still have all the symptoms. Maybe I have a different

strain.

<Lastly, have you also noted that your complection gets

milkier with more acne like symptons>

My complection is sort of pale. No acne, but I have dark circles

under my eyes.

<Are you also a good deal

thirstier throughout the day? >

I'm am thirsty constantly!!!

My doctor's don't think I have a thyroid problem, but I think they're wrong.

Maybe someone out there know's a natural supplement to take. Does anyone

think multivitamins will help?

Thanks!

Thanks and !

I was also wondering if anyone experienced any discomfort in their throat?

It gets worse after eating. I'm always clearing my throat. I went to an

allergist a while back and he checked the inside of my nose and throat... he

didn't find anything. I was reading about Thryoid symptoms and one of them

was throat discomfort. Does anyone have this?

Hi !

Tell me about the Ragland Blood Pressure Test and the BTW? How low does the

body temp. need to be in order to have a problem? How do I take these?

You said liquid multivitamins and amino acids...... I have been taking

prenatal vitamins because I was hoping on getting pregnant until I finally

realized I had a serious problem and didn't want to pass it along to a child.

Do you think they are just as good as the liquid? I really don't want to

stop taking them.... when this problem is gone we want to start trying again.

What are your thoughts?

Anyways, what do liquid vitamins and amino acids do for thyroid problems?

Another question..... have you ever been pregnant? Have children? If so,

did you pass this problem along to them? I've heard that one can pass this

along.

Also, YES!! I would like a number to an applied Kinesiologist in my area....

Orlando, Florida.

Well, thanks again for your info! Looking forward to more.

Thanks Anne!

How can I find MSM? Is there a brand I should look for? Does this help with

thryroid issues as well?

Thanks!
