Thyroid

Absolutely RELIEVED
Hello, I'm new here. I was just recently diagnosed hypothyroid. I've been treated for cholesterol, ADD, depression, weight all to no avail. My family has called me lazy. I forget to do simple things like pay a bill. I've had severe anxiety and depression issues...so much so that at age 27, I had to move back i... 22 Mar 2006 12:46

Oesophagul problems associated with thyroid disease
Just wondering if any others here have oesophagul problems associated with thyroid disease.

Thyroid results, does anyone know what they mean?
I sent a message several weeks ago about my daughter and her hypothyroidism. Endocrinologist said she didn't have it, her gyno said she did. Anyway, gyno lowered her armour thyroid to 60 from 90mg. These were her lab results Thyroid proxidase antibodies 124 range less than 35, T-4 free 1.5 range 0.9-1.4, TSH... 22 Mar 2006 13:49

Herbs with Synthroid?
I have not been able to find any information on mixing herbal treatments with regular meds, in my case Synthroid. I am considering either self adjusting my Synthroid levels (using home test kits or local labs) or trying herbals either alone or in addition to the Synthroid. While on Synthroid I did try a produ... 14 Mar 2006 19:08

Has anyone here with adrenal problems experienced difficulty getting off to sleep due to high PM cortisol levels? If so, have you found anything that will lower them to help you sleep?

Labs/CBC
I was diagnosed as hypothyroid a little over a year ago. It has been a long road to get my thyroid levels up to where I did not have debilitating symptoms. In early December, I began to have hypo symptoms again. My doctor ordered labs. December: T3 25.7 (23.5 - 40.6) T4 8.5 (5.5 - 10.9) T7 6.8 (4... 15 Mar 2006 10:10

hypo/whiplash connection?
I swear I heard or read this somewhere, but I can't remember where. What I'm talking about is a connection between a whiplash injury damaging the pituitary gland, which then triggers hypothyroid. It seems to me that my hypo diagnosis came around the same time I suffered a major whiplash. I'd like to talk with my d... 12 Mar 2006 12:32

TSH with no T3/T4
I had total thyroidectomy in Feb after being diagnosed with Thyroid cancer. My thyroid had been functioning at normal levels right up to surgery & I had no symptoms that I was aware of (other than gradual weight gain which the doctors always blame on perimenopause). I actually ended up having two surgeries. The f... 14 Mar 2006 08:12
