Thyroid

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about

25 years ago – that’s the opposite of your diagnosis – my

body was making too much thyroxin. The treatment entailed getting rid of most

of my thyroid gland (by swallowing radioactive iodine – ugh). Since then,

I’ve had to take Synthroid (synthetic thyroxin) just as you will have to

(or a generic brand of Synthroid).

There’s nothing more you need to do

for this condition, except to go for periodic thyroid (blood) tests to make

sure you have enough – but not too much – thyroxin. Thyroxin

regulates your metabolism – practically all the chemical reactions in

your body – so you have to be careful to take your medication religiously

and the right dose.

It may take your doc a few months or even

a year to figure out the right dose for you, and it might change slightly every

now and then, so it’s good to go for at least an annual test. (I go twice

a year.)

My advice – if you are given a

generic thyroid medication (such as Levothyroxin), insist that you stick with

that particular generic forever. I say this because the body uses each of the

brands differently and your response to them will vary. So stick to one brand.

Also, some other medications affect the

absorption of thyroid medication. For example, hormone replacement therapy

(estrogen and progesterone) will sometimes augment the effects of thyroid

medication. Docs don’t seem to get this so you might have to research it

on your own, if you’re taking other meds. I find painkillers (Ultram,

Ultracet, Tramadol, and Percocet, for example) have no interaction.

Finally, synthetic thyroxin is known to

deplete the body (or impede the absorption) of calcium, which can result in

osteoporosis. The solution is to take a calcium supplement – nothing fancy

– and try to walk (weight-bearing exercise) whenever you can. I’m

embarrassed to say that I’m a desk-potato and rarely exercise and my

bones are still good. Knock on wood.

This is one of the easiest diseases to

treat. One tab a day and a couple of blood tests a year is all you’ll

need to manage it.

I hope this information is helpful.

Best of luck,

Thanks Andy. This is the most practical and helpful/hopeful info i've read

from someone with thyroid issues. The couple of hypothyroid sites I checked out

were gloom and doom and made me fear my weight ballooning and my hair falling

out unless I could work my way up to a marathon!

Large butted, but hopeful,

Hi Sheila,

Sorry about the message thing but I dont know my way round a computer.I cant remember what I sent last night as Ive mistakenly deleted it,but I will write what I remember.The first endo I saw at Medway Hospital tested me for cushings disease as I have a round face..But when you are very overweight,you have a round face anyway!My cortisol results were 180 and I was told that must have been wrong as I should be really skinny with a result like that.I was tested again and the results were 445 and was told that was fine and I obviously didnt have cushings.But,reading on the information on cushings and the urine test you are advised to have,I had that test a few years ago.I pee'd in big containers over a period of 24 hours and I had a positive result.My doctor never told me what she was testing me for and as they lost my first results,I had to do them again,so I dont know what

my first results were.My doctor eventually told me that she was testing me for a rare kidney cancer where the tumours grow on the outside of the kidneys.The specialist didnt even want to see me,as he didnt think the results were conclusive enough!I convinced them otherwise which must have annoyed him,as when I had my first appointment he said there was nothing wrong with me!I dont know what you think,but I think its probably obvious now that I have associated symptoms.Ive also been told that my fatty liver is ok to live with even though I had my gallbladder removed in January and I know the 2 are connected.My last liver tests were,Alanine Trans Level 76 in a reference range of 4-45 IU/L and my GGT 86 in a reference range of 4-60 IU/L.Is that ok or cause for concern?And amongst many other results,are these normal? My Anti TPO Antibodies were 1 in a reference range of 0-150 U/ml and my Anti Thyroglobin Abs were 1 in a reference range of 0-150 U/ml.As I am

just the patient,I have no clue what they should be and if you could advice me,I would be very grateful.

Best wishes Sharon

+++Hi Jill. Since you've been taking thyroid meds such a short time you need to

get your thyroid re-tested right away, since you may already be able to lower

them, or stop taking them. If your tests indicate you still need thyroid meds,

get re-tested in another month.

Your thyroid is going to recover, and you do not want to be taking thyroid meds

when it does, since it will throw your thyroid into a tizzy, making it go from

low to high very quickly. I lost my thyroid for that very reason when I was on

my candida program.

All the best, Bee

Hi Sheila,

Yep,me again.My hubby has hypo and when he started treatment,shortly afterwards

his left eye puffed up and he could hardly see.Do you think its hypo

related,cos no one knew what it was. He went to the hospital and they thought

it was a stye,ha ha! The treatment for that made it immediately worse as I

think he had a reaction to it.He was reffered to St s in Sidcup and after

being there a few hours they sent him for blood tests and a brain scan!On

returning,they didnt have scan results,but doctor said it was a common

complaint where the vessels in the brain to the eye break or get damaged or

something.I know what my take on the whole thing is. The doctor looked at his

blood results and told him he is as fit as a horse,I said maybe one ready for

the nackers yard!The most unbelievable result was his ALT.I dont know the

references ranges but mine was 62 in a reference range of 9-55. My husbands ALT

was 179!! Please advice as I think that is rediculous and shows how ignorant

doctors are and dont know what the hell they are doing!

Many Thanks Sharon

Hi Sharon, I havent heard that one eye swelling is a hypo thing - a blood test

would reveal if he is under medicated. I also dont know anything about ALTs.

Try www.labtestsonline.org who are a great peer reviewed website to assist with

***HI, my son who is 30yrs old just been diagnosed with underactive thyroid andalso low adrenals. the problem is he as been diagnosed with chrones and beenadvised o take prediselone will these affect his thyroid gland?

Hi,

In all likelihood, taking prednisolone will be of benefit to your son's adrenal/thyroid situation. Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disease and since the majority of hypothyroid cases are also of autoimmune origin (Hashimoto's disease), I would guess that your son suffers from both, autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's) as well as Crohn's. Different autoimmune diseases often go hand in hand.

Crohn's disease can be greatly helped by taking prednisolone, as it will keep the chronic inflammation in the gut down. However, long term use of steroids will reduce the thyroid function. Therefore it is of the utmost importance to always keep a close eye on everything - the gut and the thyroid as well as the adrenals .... the working of all three is interlinked.

Prednisolone, like all steroids, should be regarded with the greatest respect, but in spite of potential side effects, for conditions like Crohn's they are a Godsend and a necessity. - Prednisolone is also good news for the adrenals, as the steroids will give them a helping hand as well as reduce the inflammation in the gut.

It is of the greatest importance that your son will now get properly medicated for his thyroid condition. Presumably he will be put on Levothyroxine, but because of his Crohn's it is doubly important that he should be optimally medicated. His first thyroid blood check will probably be in 4-6 weeks time (it takes that long for thyroid levels to settle). Please ask your son to make sure that he will get a full thyroid check from his endo and not just a TSH. At a minimum he will need TSH, FT4 and FT3 checked to make sure that firstly his body is capable of converting and secondly that sufficient T3 is produced and taken up by the cells. It is important to get him 'up to speed' and his correct level of thyroid medication as soon as is possible (meaning to up the dosage every 4-6 weeks until his optimal levels have been reached).

As with all autoimmune conditions, it is terribly important to strengthen the weakened immune system as much as possible - and proper thyroid levels are paramount for that.

Hope this helps,

[Guest guest]

Hi, The prednisolone will help the low adrenals which will then allow his body to accept the thyroid replacement.

A good book is:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stress-Effect-Discover-Connection-Between/dp/1583331816/\

ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & s=books & qid=1253096301 & sr=8-1

it talks about how gut inflammation affects adrenals (cortisol needed to

suppresss inflammation in gut) and this then means the thyroid may be regulated

because the adrenals aren't strong enough to cope

i don't know how that fits in with crohn's though

Sorry to hear you and your son are both struggling with ill health at the

moment.

It's the same situation in my family, myself and my son and daughter ill. Mines

hypot and adrenals but I am making progress in as much as I know what the

problem is so working on the solution. My daughter is very ill with CFS but

there is definitely a thyroid/ adrenal issue for her too. My son is 28 and has

the same problem as your son, private tests say hypot but NHS don't. He just

about to return to see his endo next week. He really would like to be diagnosed

by the NHS.

If your son doesn't feel well enough to work it shouldn't matter whether he has

a diagnosis. I hope all goes well for him tomorrow.

So sorry about your Son hon, none of these are nice to have at all.

I would suggest a test for Vitamin D and researching it in connection with

Chrones disease, there is a connection and I believe it can be therapeutic for

Chrones but you would need to look at his levels and the papers on it very

carefully.

Hope he gets better soon xxx

+++Hi -Ann. Your doctor should be advising you, and changing your

perscription as needed.

Bee

[Guest guest]

Hi Gillian

You should either write a letter for him or get him to write a

letter himself. I don't know how old he is. List his symptoms and signs. List

any members of his family who have a thyroid or autoimmune disease. List the

blood tests you want carried out and let the doctor know that you are requesting

these before you know if any of them are low in the reference range, his

thyroid hormone will not be properly absorbed into the cells. Ferritin, vitamin

B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, zinc, copper and folate. Ask also for his Free T3

to be tested and a test done to see whether he has antibodies to his

thyroid. Ask for a referral for a second opinion to a thyroid specialists

- he can choose one of his choice. Send a copy to the Head of Practice and ask

for the letter of request to be placed into your son's medical notes.

The problems with NHS doctors is that they refuse to recognise

tests done outside of their NHS laboratories and NHS practice. Your GP may look

at these and accept the results, I sincerely hope so, but don't be surprised if

he tells you he doesn't recognise these labs. and only goes by NHS lab results.

You could enclose a copy of these results in the letter to his

GP and see what happens. You could also enclose a copy of Genova's statement

on their web site www.gdx.uk.net - go

to 'About Us' and at least, that will stop your GP telling you they are rubbish

- as some doctors do.

hi my son is showing all symptoms of

undreactive thyroid, which runs in our family, i had thyroid removed 20 years

,

You are one of the lucky 30% that got a result that showed their thyroid was not functioning properly. I am so very glad that you got results. You are not among the 70% that are sick and are told by the doctors that nothing is wrong with them because the tests are so inadaquate. You see if you test negative the doctors just tell you that you are stresssed, over tired, need to take a mulit - vitamin...blah, blah, blah....We have all heard it before and we know we have a low thyroid! We live in these bodies. We have done the research. They will not even listen when you bring in mountain of research from now to years back that says " Hey, these tests are wrong most of the time and this is what we need to do to help the people out there who are sick!" If mainstream medicine would not even listen to the Endrocrine Society......why do we think they will

listen to us?

I am not saying not to get tested. I am saying not to believe the test if it comes up negative when you know something is wrong. Too much research tells us otherwise. So we have to be informed and take it on for ourselves. This disease we have requires that of us. That is if we want to get better. Mainstream medicine is about putting out fires. Not about Wellness. Being Chronically ill has the extra burden of taking on being an outside the box thinker, researcher and fighter.

I am so glad you have not had to fight with your thyroid. You have enough on your plate as it is.

how about this, is this correct?;

+++First you consume " proper nutrients " which provides every cell in the body

what they need in order to rebuild themselves, detoxify, and function properly.

Of course eliminating toxins and damaging foods goes along with that.

+++Treating your body as a whole means you do not go off treating this and that

health issue, organ malfunction, etc. individually like doctors do. We know

that doesn't work. Your body is smart enough to balance out all nutrient

levels, hormones, etc., and to detoxify, repair and rebuild as it becomes able

to do its job like Nature intended.

+++When your body is strong enough it's immune system will " make " candida,

bacteria, or even cancer, change back into the nice friendly organism it is

+++Hi Jeanne. When do you believe your adrenal and thyroid started

malfunctioning, i.e. in months or years? It would have been prior to starting

Thanks Bee;

Can u believe he's an Osteopath, they are suppose to treat the whole body, but I

think He's just in it for the $$. He doesn't accept insurance, He doesn't even

know my whole story or that I haven't slept in a year.

I'm donating as soon as I can to u for all the help;

Jeanne

I should have paid u not him, LOL, at least u act like u care. Last time I saw

him I was too weak to even sit up and he said, " see ya in 4 months! " I thought

will I be alive in 4 months? I can't even drive......There are no good doctors

in this town.......dif no homeopaths or naturapaths....My family doctor said it

was " menopause. "   LOL
