Re: Normal thyroid labs but low body temp?

[Guest guest]

Not to mention those who feel bad, but think there doc is giving them the

best treatment, so they settle for feeling a little better. They have no

idea there are other meds out there that can get them normal again. I think

it's you that have symptoms some of us on here would call hypo symptoms.

From where did you get your percentages? It may be the third most prescribed

medicine in

the United States, but that doesn't mean that 90 to 99% of the people

prescribed that medication alone don't have problems with it. Every woman I

know that's hypothyroid has had trouble with synthroid alone. I don't really

know any men with the illness, so maybe they are the ones most happy with it

I believe that men and women (for the most part) react differently to

different things, and I don't feel that all the doctors have reconciled with

this, and that too many of them try to treat women like men, and become

annoyed when they don't react the same.

I can name ten women, including three in my own family that have not had

a problem with Synthroid alone. And, I don't know any that did, except

for my niece, who went to T3 forms when she developed an allergy to

wheat gluten following mononucleosis.

I just posted that I don't have trouble with Synthroid, and remembered as

soon as I hit the send button that my sister and two first cousins (female)

also do fine. My father, his brothers and a male first cousin also do

Synthroid and do fine.

Er, I carefully calculated it using the method well known in scientific

circles [sWAG]. [scientific Wild A$$ Guess] {gggg}

Actually, it is a guess; and is based upon the fact that there are not

many more thousands on this list than we see. And that Synthroid and

its siblings are the only thing known [or prescribed up front] for

hyperthyroidism by lots of doctors. And many other things I've noticed;

but not from this list.

Hyperthyroidism is discussed in Wikipedia, along with the various

treatment protocols. However, here is what they say about Synthroid

[T4] treatment:

" *T4 Only:* This treatment protocol involves supplementation of T4

(Thyroxine) alone, in a synthetic form. It is currently the standard

treatment in mainstream medicine. "

So the fact that it is the standard treatment in mainstream medicine

means that you have a very good chance of getting that treatment when

diagnosed with hypothyroidism. And if even one percent of those with

hypothyroidism and who take Synthroid should show up here I suspect our

list would grow immensely.

There may well be studies with precise numbers as to what exact

percentage of people have not difficulties with T4 treatment, but I have

not researched it. Chuck might know off hand of some; or if my

guesstimate is wildly off base.

Actually, there are many things about me that point toward

hypErthyroidism rather than hypOthyroidism. Remember, when I gave the

diagnosis of hypothyroidism to my wife she exclaimed: " You CAN'T be

hypothyroid! Everything about you screams hyperthyroid! " For example,

my metabolism has always been very high, and I've for most of my life

remained skinny while eating like a pig.

But at 67 the weight is catching up with me, as I'm about 190 lbs now

[at 5' 11 " ]. If I live long enough I may have to figure out what

calories and fat grams are! [ggg]

I don't think you know what to look for. I have never met a well person on T4

meds. Either they have weight issues or MOOD issues or both. Some of them

are flat emotionally, my friend's daughter is so prickly that I cannot have much

of a conversation with her. She just had her third cesarean b/c she can't

labor efficiently.

I take 20 mcg Lipitor to control cholesterol, and it is now something

like 165 total. However, in my most recent test the LDL was a little

higher than the doctor liked so he is upping the Lipitor to 40 mcg[?] to

see what that does.

I've had heart arrhythmia all my life, and take a calcium blocker that

controls that.

I've had allergies most if not all my life; however during the past 6 or

8 years most of the symptoms have greatly abated or disappeared. I

haven't had an asthma attack in over 8 years. I do use a prophylactic

inhaler for that and a pill for hay fever. My eyes do still itch

terribly at times; and that is the only uncontrolled allergy symptom

that I normally have.

I've always been very nervous, high-strung and have difficulty sleeping.

I discovered I was hypothyroid a couple of years or so ago; apparently

VERY soon after it happened. I take 75 mcg of Synthroid daily.

Over the past several years my weight has slowly and steadily climbed.

I've gone from always being skinny to having at least 30 pound excess in

the worst place according to the experts. But I still eat like a pig...

[Male, age 67, 190 lbs].

On Jan. 7, 2000 a diverticulum in my colon ruptured, resulting in

peritonitis and emergency surgery to remove a portion of my colon and do

a temporary colostomy. The colostomy was removed on April 12, 2000, or

thereabouts. Since that time I've had a problem of excess acid in my

lower digestive tract, which has caused a number of problems. A few

months back I started taking a heaping teaspoonful of fiber with a glass

of milk every day and those problems have virtually disappeared.

I think that I have discussed all of these here before. Some of them

could possibly have links to hypothyroidism, or about a million other

ailments.

Especially the high cholesterol. Get Armour and see if that helps. Until

then, you'll never know how you could be feeling.

Not one of the ten T4 women I know has either. I'm the only one I know

with a weight problem.

[Guest guest]

I think it might depend on how long one goes on with hypoT before

getting diagnosed and on the right amount of meds.

I went for over a year before a doctor would diagnose me. That only

happened because I diagnosed myself and brought the literature into

the doctors office then he did the necessary blood work. I have 4

other sisters that have hypoT and were diagnosed very early, because

of me, I might add. I noticed their symptoms and told them to get

into the doctor. They had the blood work done and got on meds

quickly, not having to wait a year. None of them have a weight issue.

I have a weight issue I believe because of not getting diagnosed soon

enough. Then on top of that, I had a hashi flare-up that the doctor I

was seeing at the time apparently knew nothing even though she was an

endo (which doesn't mean much) Before all this started, I weighed

118#. I now weight 150. Just my view on the subject.

I believe Chuck is the one who mentioned an apparent or possible

connection between lack of early treatment for hypothyroidism and later

problems in controlling the symptoms and being able to live a normal

life by just taking something simple like Synthroid. I don't know if

there's ever been any studies on this or not, but it certainly makes

sense. If you go untreated you may suffer permanent damage that is not

corrected by simple treatment, or so my thinking goes. And if you're

untreated long enough with a severe case you will die.

I've gained weight but have not done anything to try to lose it. My

wife has to watch what she eats all the time. If I have a bag of

chocolate covered peanuts I sit down with the bag and munch away. She

takes one or two peanuts and quits. I guess I sometimes consume two or

three days of calories and fat grams in a day; not smart, I know...

I used to have heartburn many years ago, but now I never have it. The

acid was always in my lower digestive tract.

I just had an endoscopic dilation of the Schatzki ring, and my doctor

has me on a prescription antacid because he said the procedure would

tend to revert faster if stomach acid were to be present at that

location. And he said that my stomach does extend past the diaphragm,

which would tend to give me acid reflux. But I never experience any.

Of course you have no acid relux. All those yummy chocolate covered peanuts are

protecting you. When I used to eat things like that, I never had a problem with

my stomach either.

I used to have heartburn many years ago, but now I never have it. The

acid was always in my lower digestive tract.

I just had an endoscopic dilation of the Schatzki ring, and my doctor

has me on a prescription antacid because he said the procedure would

tend to revert faster if stomach acid were to be present at that

location. And he said that my stomach does extend past the diaphragm,

which would tend to give me acid reflux. But I never experience any.
