Guest guest Posted November 8, 1998 Report Share Posted November 8, 1998 Hi, I have more problems with my eyes when I get hypo - thyroid. I get swelling all around my eyes I guess from TSH being high. The way understand it is hyperthyroidism tends to make bulging eyes. But the hypo must make the tissue around eyes bulge. The way I feel is very difficult to interpret. Hypo feels just like hyper. I am learning. Any ideas on how to differentiate between hypo and hyper.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 hi,i have been dealing with hypothyroidism since 1990.first off there are some things you might want to cut back on because it can interfere with your tsh level.such as soy and iodine.also if your taking estrogen that can mess with your tsh level.there are some really good sights that you can get info on.or just type in hypothyroidism on the net.good luck with your levels.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Hi again, I just want to say thank you to those who have welcomed me to the club and I really looke forward to actually learning about this disease I now have to live with. Was a relief to have it diagnosed tho...I didn't know what was wrong and was tired of all the theories from the doctors and taking medication to treat the symptoms without ever knowing what was actually wrong and being so discouraged when nothing was working to improve my health. The thrill of knowing what's wrong wore off fast though as time keeps going on and my thyroid is still not stablized. I guess I had thought it would all be " taken care of " and in a much more timely matter.<br><br>Tomorrow I go back to the doctor to find out the results of my blood work done last week. What's this number I see referred to often...the TSH or something? And what would be a normal number? Now that I've seen it I want to ask my doctor what my number is.<br><br>Thanks all =),<br>-Ann aka Laney1964 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 normal tsh level should be 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 stephanie (and all the other newbies here lately--i haven't had much time lately, so i haven't posted a welcome to many of you!), welcome to the list--glad you found it and glad you have been informing yourself of the dangers of vaxes--it's not an easy undertaking--trying to be informed about an issue that is so hotly debated and so closely guarded by the medical profession!! as far as the IPV goes, that is one that i really wouldn't worry about (IMHO--in my humble opinion), because there haven't been ANY cases of polio that have been contracted naturally in the US, for about 20 years--EVERY single case of polio has been traced back to the OPV--which is why they changed over to IPV--so the risk/concern about polio is just not an issue any longer. i hope you all gain the knowledge that you need to be informed and comfortable with your decisions to not vax your kids--you will see that in the long run they will be healthier and have much less problems than their vaxed counterparts. again, welcome to the list--try to keep up with all the mail that this list generates--it's tough, but you can learn soooo much from it!! brigit, in albany, ny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 Welcome back! I am so glad to hear you are doing better. I also take T3 and it has made such a difference for me as well, and I was feeling as badly as you were, wondering every day how I would make it through the day. It is so discouraging that doctors are not up to this, although I think in the US most holistic docs favor T3 medications. Anyway, glad to hear you had such a great holiday and are feeling so much better! <br><br>Talk to you soon <br>Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 So sorry to hear about the pup, must be a child spirit needed it's love........ whatever the reason, just know, that we are under chemical influences, and sometimes our brains don't function as they were before tx. Don't be hard on yourself, I don't believe any of us have control over what goes on, in life, as it presents itself, and I believe that our spiritual guide is looking after us, one and all. Keeping all in my prayers, as always, Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have not had a biopsy.....my Dr said that most professionals were recommending it, but since it would not change my treatment, I decided against it. With your genotype, I am hopeful that you have responded well to treatment! Let us know. Big hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 HI Sue, Wow I am surprised to see someone doing treatment without a biopsy first. How will your dr know if the treatment has helped any liver damage if there is no starting point to check from? Have you visited Hepatitis Foundation International's website? Its a great one and maybe they can help you find a support group that meets more often. I have a list on my website of National support groups as well if that will help. Support is the most important thing when it comes to dealing with a chronic illness. Maybe you and your friend can start up a group that will meet more often. You would be amazed at how much it helps not only you but others when you do that. Hang in there and I hope your treatment goes well and is successful! You have the right Genotype for it thats for sure! LeighAnn http://www.geocities.com/1Leighann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 , Health and life are always getting in the way of things with me, I know exactly what you are saying. It's good to see your pixels though... *hugs her* I hope you are feeling better soon-soon sweetheart... Hugs, Princess http://groups.msn.com/HCVReflections/ i know i have been a bad group member by not keeping up and i do hope you will all forgive me. health and life seems to get in the way.i am still on hepatitis treatment, my hiv combo is not working so it is time for a change. enough of that though, the reason i am posting today is to let you all know that spam of disastrous proportions is forcing me to change my email address and i want to beg you all to let me rejoin this group under my new email address. it is oletomato@.... please, please, dont lock the door, your inspiration is too valuable to lose. anyway, for now, know that i think of you all often. healing hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I took the test also & thought there was a BUNCH of Pharmacology too...I wasn't expecting that much. The math was not all that hard either...I was worried about that part. I didn't know the answer on Climara question either. Does anyone?
