You are so right about Rashelle's herbal body products. I was skepticat first but I loved the way they made my skin feel. I saw a differencein just a few days. I combine the products with the LL breathing and Iam a very happy camper. My skin is definitely firming up inthe mid-section plus I am getting rid of the cellulite. I tried the products at first to get rid of stretch marks on my hips and I am seeingresults there now as well. I even put it on the back of my knees to getrid of those stretch marks as well. So I am sold on these products aswell.

Hey ,

As I said before, really sorry to hear that the Children's Hospital thingies was a nightmare for you. Have they got Jai on any meds?

"An angry sick person is a force to be reckoned with I think! We are all here cause we are fighters, and I think that we need to be proud of that."

*CHEERS*

"Hey Aisha, I was thinking about you a lot when I was cooped up in that room in the hospital, thinking that you were not very far away. "

Actually I am at least an hour away from Westmead... if not more. Ya should have phoned... not that I can talk on the phone cause of the myoclonic... ah well...nice thought!

"I should've let you loose on my Dr's cause I know that you won't take any shit (and your medical knowledge by far exceeds mine) :-)"

Hahahaha..... Took me a long time to learn not to take any shit though. And I don't think my medical knowledge exceeds yours at all! I'm no professional! I just ask alot of questions cause I'm nosey - have to know everything hehe... But I would happily take on a hospital... sounds fun

"I missed you all while I was away! I could've done with some advice and support while Jai was in hospital, it was a very stressful trip."

You were in my thoughts and I am sure in the thoughts of many here *hug* glad you are home and safe. How are you feeling, and is their any news on your tests, your daughters tests or the Reiter's Syndrome tests??

Love ya

Aisha.

I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a stressful trip! I was really

hoping that you would find some answers!!

Children's hospitals can be the worst places, can't they?? I feel for

you sweetie! We had a horrible experience with once, we flew

halfway across the daggum country (From Indianapolis, Indiana to San

Diego, California) to take to a group of " specialists " only to

find out that they were doing research and wanted to use for a

guinea pig!!

Chin up, sweetie. Hang in there, things will get better.

Thanks & Darcy! (bless her heart!) is

going to post the picture for me! I'm so glad you

guys are all on top of things around here!!

I am really enjoying my new stand-up bag! For some

reason round house kicks are harder. I keep losing my

balance and I am not sure if I am kicking with the

right part of my foot. You guys would laugh if you

saw me! I go to kick and totally miss the bag and

about fall on my butt. I am used to pretending there

is something there and now I have to make sure and

LOOK where I am trying to kick!!!! :> I hope you all

are doing great! <<hugs>> Sherry :>

hi tina, so glad M is doing so much better! hopefully, the thyroid stuff will

even out. hope you feel better soon. get lots of rest!! hugs, sheila

so sorry I've been busy these last few weeks, daughter came home for

Spring break and then I got sick in-between. Taking 8 grams of C and

still fighting this infection in my lungs---gee this bug really hit

me fast and knocked me off my feet. But I wanted to catch up and so

many have written --if we can't get back to many of you please go

back and read past posts on the subject matter--many of the answers

are there---Everyone has sent in so many links---So you will find

them if you look.

Anyway just to give you an idea of how my daughter is doing and this

may answer some questions.

She is now off her adrenal supplements except what is in thyodine.

(only 50mg. of adrenal glandular per pill).

Her dhea numbers are normal to high right now, so it looks like

(along with her symptoms that her adrenals are doing much better) Big

time---so she is anxious to move onto the next phase which is adding

more thyroid glandular to her diet. She is off isocort as well---

http://www.greenwillowtree.com/tides/Search.bok?

no.show.inprogress=1 & sredir=1 & category=Thyroid

Her thyroid numbers are a bit on the low side so we decided to add

more thyodine and will get tested in two to three months from now--if

her numbers do not come up more than we will add more Armour.

The acidophilus supplements have really helped with the scalp

condition, it appears to be gone. So she is so happy about that

problem. http://www.health.co.uk/acidophilus.html

Her digestion is doing great as well with those digestive enzymes--

https://www.immunesupport.com/shop/product.cfm?Product__Code=PH26

So it appears that we have healed the adrenals seeing the dhea test

and she is feeling so much better--but I was kind of sad to see the

thyroid numbers still low--what this means is that she needs more

thyroid meds---And may always need them. Since her numbers were still

very low even on Armour.

You want your numbers to be in the upper third quadrant of the range

used. So one more try here at healing them we are adding more

thyodine instead of more armour just to see if we can get these

numbers up, if not we will have to add more Armour.

She is going to take a thyroid energy supplement one a day, thyodine

2-3 a day and 1 grain of Armour (60mg) per day along with her multi

vitamin. http://www.greenwillowtree.com/tides/Detail.bok?no=400

http://www.greenwillowtree.com/tides/Detail.bok?no=380

also a super B twice a week is enough.

The majority of other supplements essential to thyroid health is in

the thyodine and thyroid energy supplements.

So this is the lastest in her story. tina

April 5, 2004

thanks--I must of picked up some Spring flu type of bug--anyway I am

still pretty sick--uggg!!! you do know pre-diabetic is also very

adrenal!!! get a dhea test and cortisol test if you can!!!

And a thyroid patient can either have a high tsh or low tsh and they

can still be hypo!!! just a reminder for those still questioning

themselves.

Common Tests to Examine

Thyroid Gland Function

As we have seen from our overview of normal thyroid physiology, the

thyroid gland produces T4 and T3. But this production is not possible

without stimulation from the pituitary gland (TSH) which in turn is

also regulated by the hypothalamus's TSH Releasing Hormone. Now, with

radioimmunoassay techniques it is possible to measure circulating

hormones in the blood very accurately. Knowledge of this thyroid

physiology is important in knowing what thyroid test or tests are

needed to diagnose different diseases. No one single laboratory test

is 100% accurate in diagnosing all types of thyroid disease; however,

a combination of two or more tests can usually detect even the

slightest abnormality of thyroid function.

For example, a low T4 level could mean a diseased thyroid gland ~ OR

~ a non-functioning pituitary gland which is not stimulating the

thyroid to produce T4. Since the pituitary gland would normally

release TSH if the T4 is low, a high TSH level would confirm that the

thyroid gland (not the pituitary gland) is responsible for the

hypothyroidism.

If the T4 level is low and TSH is not elevated, the pituitary gland

is more likely to be the cause for the hypothyroidism. Of course,

this would drastically effect the treatment since the pituitary gland

also regulates the body's other glands (adrenals, ovaries, and

testicles) as well as controlling growth in children and normal

kidney function. Pituitary gland failure means that the other glands

may also be failing and other treatment than just thyroid may be

necessary. The most common cause for the pituitary gland failure is a

tumor of the pituitary and this might also require surgery to remove.

Modern measurement of thyroid hormones is done by a new technique,

radioimmunoassay (RIA), discovered by Dr. Berson and Dr.

lyn Yallow. They were awarded the 1977 Nobel Prize in Medicine

for this discovery which revolutionized the study of thyroid disease

as well as the entire field of endocrinology.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------

The following are commonly used thyroid tests

Measurement of Serum Thyroid Hormones: T4 by RIA. T4 by RIA

(radioimmunoassay) is the most used thyroid test of all. It is

frequently referred to as a T7 which means that a resin T3 uptake

(RT3u) has been done to correct for certain medications such as birth

control pills, other hormones, seizure medication, cardiac drugs, or

even aspirin that may alter the routine T4 test. The T4 reflects the

amount of thyroxine in the blood. If the patient does not take any

type of thyroid medication, this test is usually a good measure of

thyroid function.

Measurement of Serum Thyroid Hormones: T3 by RIA. As stated on our

thyroid hormone production page, thyroxine (T4) represents 80% of the

thyroid hormone produced by the normal gland and generally represents

the overall function of the gland. The other 20% is triiodothyronine

measured as T3 by RIA. Sometimes the diseased thyroid gland will

start producing very high levels of T3 but still produce normal

levels of T4. Therefore measurement of both hormones provides an even

more accurate evaluation of thyroid function.

Thyroid Binding Globulin. Most of the thyroid hormones in the blood

are attached to a protein called thyroid binding globulin (TBG). If

there is an excess or deficiency of this protein it alters the T4 or

T3 measurement but does not affect the action of the hormone. If a

patient appears to have normal thyroid function, but an unexplained

high or low T4, or T3, it may be due to an increase or decrease of

TBG. Direct measurement of TBG can be done and will explain the

abnormal value. Excess TBG or low levels of TBG are found in some

families as an hereditary trait. It causes no problem except falsely

elevating or lowering the T4 level. These people are frequently

misdiagnosed as being hyperthyroid or hypothyroid, but they have no

thyroid problem and need no treatment.

Measurement of Pituitary Production of TSH. Pituitary production of

TSH is measured by a method referred to as IRMA (immunoradiometric

assay). Normally, low levels (less than 5 units) of TSH are

sufficient to keep the normal thyroid gland functioning properly.

When the thyroid gland becomes inefficient such as in early

hypothyroidism, the TSH becomes elevated even though the T4 and T3

may still be within the " normal " range. This rise in TSH represents

the pituitary gland's response to a drop in circulating thyroid

hormone; it is usually the first indication of thyroid gland failure.

Since TSH is normally low when the thyroid gland is functioning

properly, the failure of TSH to rise when circulating thyroid

hormones are low is an indication of impaired pituitary function. The

new " sensitive " TSH test will show very low levels of TSH when the

thyroid is overactive (as a normal response of the pituitary to try

to decrease thyroid stimulation). Interpretations of the TSH level

depends upon the level of thyroid hormone; therefore, the TSH is

usually used in combination with other thyroid tests such as the T4

RIA and T3 RIA.

TRH Test. In normal people TSH secretion from the pituitary can be

increased by giving a shot containing TSH Releasing Hormone

(TRH...the hormone released by the hypothalamus which tells the

pituitary to produce TSH). A baseline TSH of 5 or less usually goes

up to 10-20 after giving an injection of TRH. Patients with too much

thyroid hormone (thyroxine or triiodothyronine) will not show a rise

in TSH when given TRH. This " TRH test " is presently the most

sensitive test in detecting early hyperthyroidism. Patients who show

too much response to TRH (TSH rises greater than 40) may be

hypothyroid. This test is also used in cancer patients who are taking

thyroid replacement to see if they are on sufficient medication. It

is sometimes used to measure if the pituitary gland is functioning.

The new " sensitive " TSH test (above) has eliminated the necessity of

performing a TRH test in most clinical situations.

Iodine Uptake Scan. A means of measuring thyroid function is to

measure how much iodine is taken up by the thyroid gland (RAI

uptake). Remember, cells of the thyroid normally absorb iodine from

our blood stream (obtained from foods we eat) and use it to make

thyroid hormone (described on our thyroid function page). Hypothyroid

patients usually take up too little iodine and hyperthyroid patients

take up too much iodine. The test is performed by giving a dose of

radioactive iodine on an empty stomach. The iodine is concentrated in

the thyroid gland or excreted in the urine over the next few hours.

The amount of iodine that goes into the thyroid gland can be measured

by a " Thyroid Uptake " . Of course, patients who are taking thyroid

medication will not take up as much iodine in their thyroid gland

because their own thyroid gland is turned off and is not functioning.

At other times the gland will concentrate iodine normally but will be

unable to convert the iodine into thyroid hormone; therefore,

interpretation of the iodine uptake is usually done in conjunction

with blood tests.

Thyroid Scan. Taking a " picture " of how well the thyroid gland is

functioning requires giving a radioisotope to the patient and letting

the thyroid gland concentrate the isotope (just like the iodine

uptake scan above). Therefore, it is usually done at the same time

that the iodine uptake test is performed. Although other isotopes,

such as technetium, will be concentrated by the thyroid gland; these

isotopes will not measure iodine uptake which is what we really want

to know because the production of thyroid hormone is dependent upon

absorbing iodine. It has also been found that thyroid nodules that

concentrate iodine are rarely cancerous; this is not true if the scan

is done with technetium. Therefore, all scans are now done with

radioactive iodine. Both of the scans above show normal sized thyroid

glands, but the one on the left has a " HOT " nodule in the lower

aspect of the right lobe, while the scan on the right has a " COLD "

nodule in the lower aspect of the left lobe (outlined in red and

yellow). Pregnant women should not have thyroid scans performed

because the iodine can cause development troubles within the baby's

thyroid gland.

Two types of thyroid scans are available. A camera scan is performed

most commonly which uses a gamma camera operating in a fixed position

viewing the entire thyroid gland at once. This type of scan takes

only five to ten minutes. In the 1990's, a new scanner called a

Computerized Rectilinear Thyroid (CRT) scanner was introduced. The

CRT scanner utilizes computer technology to improve the clarity of

thyroid scans and enhance thyroid nodules. It measures both thyroid

function and thyroid size. A life-sized 1:1 color scan of the thyroid

is obtained giving the size in square centimeters and the weight in

grams. The precise size and activity of nodules in relation to the

rest of the gland is also measured. CTS of the normal thyroid gland

In addition to making thyroid diagnosis more accurate, the CRT

scanner improves the results of thyroid biopsy. The accurate sizing

of the thyroid gland aids in the follow-up of nodules to see if they

are growing or getting smaller in size. Knowing the weight of the

thyroid gland allows more accurate radioactive treatment in patients

who have Graves' disease.

Thyroid Scans are used for the following reasons:

Identifying nodules and determining if they are " hot " or " cold " .

Measuring the size of the goiter prior to treatment.

Follow-up of thyroid cancer patients after surgery.

Locating thyroid tissue outside the neck, i.e. base of the tongue or

in the chest.

Thyroid Ultrasound. Thyroid ultrasound refers to the use of high

frequency sound waves to obtain an image of the thyroid gland and

identify nodules. It tells if a nodule is " solid " or a fluid-filled

cyst, but it will not tell if a nodule is benign or malignant.

Ultrasound allows accurate measurement of a nodule's size and can

determine if a nodule is getting smaller or is growing larger during

treatment. Ultrasound aids in performing thyroid needle biopsy by

improving accuracy if the nodule cannot be felt easily on

examination. Several more pages are dedicated to the use of

ultrasound in evaluating thyroid nodules.

Thyroid Antibodies. The body normally produces antibodies to foreign

substances such as bacteria; however, some people are found to have

antibodies against their own thyroid tissue. A condition known as

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is associated with a high level of these

thyroid antibodies in the blood. Whether the antibodies cause the

disease or whether the disease causes the antibodies is not known;

however, the finding of a high level of thyroid antibodies is strong

evidence of this disease. Occasionally, low levels of thyroid

antibodies are found with other types of thyroid disease. When

Hashimoto's thyroiditis presents as a thyroid nodule rather than a

diffuse goiter, the thyroid antibodies may not be present.

Thyroid Needle Biopsy. This has become the most reliable test to

differentiate the " cold " nodule that is cancer from the " cold " nodule

that is benign ( " hot " nodules are rarely cancerous). It provides

information that no other thyroid test will provide. While not

perfect, it will provide definitive information in 75% of the nodules

biopsied. A very extensive discussion of Thyroid Needle Biopsy is

found on another page.

Do I need to stop taking my thyroid pills for these tests?

Since Euthyrox or Synthroid (and most other thyroid pills) behave

exactly as normal human thyroid hormone, they are not rapidly cleared

from the body as other medications are. Most thyroid pills have a

half life of 6.7 days which means they must be stopped for four to

five weeks (five half lives) before accurate thyroid testing is

possible. An exception to the long half life of thyroid medication is

Cytomel - a thyroid pill with a half life of only forty-eight hours.

Therefore it is possible to change a person's thyroid replacement to

Cytomel for one month to allow time for his regular pills to clear

the body. Cytomel is then stopped for ten days (five half lives) and

the appropriate test can then be done. Usually patients, even those

who have no remaining thyroid function, tolerate being off thyroid

replacement only ten days quite well.

> hi tina, so glad M is doing so much better! hopefully, the thyroid

stuff will even out. hope you feel better soon. get lots of rest!!

I live in London and am also keen to get into a bit of diver medic

training etc.

I spent ten years in the oz navy with six of them as a dive

medic/instructor so I have a little bit of knowledge.

Hi Mike,

you need to go and talk to your local adult education centre who will

put you onto their trainers. To teach HSE approved certified coursed you

need to work through an HSE approved centre, or be registered as a

centre yourself - which is kinda costly!

For teaching in the UK you need some form of teaching cert to be allowed

to teach first aid or be a qualified Nurse or Dr. something like the

4075(? right numbers)

Of course you need to hold the 4 day HSE first aid cert as well.

hope that helps

best wishes

Hi Mick

You can also get in touch with your local Red Cross or

St s Ambulance ..if you have instructor tickets

from these organistations in Oz, then usually they are

transferable...unfortunatley you have to undertake the

course both the first at work and the instructor

course if you don't.

Cheers

Hello mick

To be honest I wouldnt bother with St s etc, they are too far up

somewhere to recoginse new instructors even if they bite them on

aforementioned place

You best bet may be to do a 'instructors course' for a company which will

then enable you to teach the subject, Nuco training is one such company who

do the instructors course. Then find local companies (not volunatary aid

societies) and offer your services...... If you are able to get courses

organised yourself you make more money, but if you are looking to do the

training in your off time, it may be better off saying to a company that you

are available on certian dates etc.

You may also benifit from doing the City & Guilds 7307 course (but only if

you intend teaching in colleges schools etc) I have done the course but to

be honest it was a waste of time.

If you are looking to offer training you will also need equipment etc (set

of 4 ressus annies (best part of £400 etc) which will obviously depend on

what courses your are going to offer. Then you also have insurance to pay

for as well.....

www.firstaidcafe.co.uk will also be a good source of contacts etc

Hope this helps

If this is that fancy new kind of brace that actively keeps
