Update on my quest to see an endocrinologist
Hi Everyone, It's been awhile since I wrote, but I wanted to let you know I finally got referred! Some may remember that last year, I had gone in to see a new family doctor and he didn't want to send me to an endocrinologist because it would look bad on him if he sent a patient with normal test results. A f... 6 Aug 2008 12:51

Thyrolar (problems in the past getting it, was on Armour)

Mood Disorders and Thyroid
When I first visited a.s.t, I was shocked and amazed by the number of references to anti-depressants, anxiolytics and other related medicines. Over time I can appreciate quite how strong is the connection between thyroid and mood/mind. I note that even in this abstract the authors have felt the need to say "... 6 Aug 2008 03:36

Breast Cancer and Thyroid Disease Relationship
New article (abstract only, I'm afraid) which identifies a "plausible mechanism to explain the thyroid disease-breast cancer relationship". Breast cancer has been mentioned many times here (on a.s.t) and perhaps this might help to prove a link. ========= 1: Crit Rev Oncol Hematol. 2008 Aug 1. [Epub ahead o... 11 Aug 2008 12:34

Am I overdosed?
Hi all, I have been at what should be my maintenance dose of Synthroid for almost 9 weeks now. Just before I hit 6 weeks, I began having a delay in falling asleep and a fine tremor in my hands at night. A couple days ago, I switched from taking my dose in the morning to just before bed, but it is still takin... 7 Aug 2008 15:33

Thyroid Hormone Receptor Modelling - Press Release
Endo1: You know what? Endo2: What? You telling? Endo1: Just heard, IBM reckon thyroid disease might be more complicated than taking a pill every day. Endo2: Gee - have to find an easier job.

Maintenance Dosages
Hi, I went to my doctor yesterday to re-do my blood work requisition (because there were more things I wanted to add). He was agreeable to everything (he's good like that); but didn't think I need to retest my anti-bodies since we've already determined they are high, which lead to the Hashimoto's diagnosis. Any... 1 Aug 2008 15:05
