Thyroid

I've got Cortef
My Top Doc gave me Pregnelolone nine weeks ago for fatigued adrenals due to long-term untreated hypoT, as I have a lot of pain from "fibromyalgia". I also have been rubbing hydrocortisone cream, taking DHEA, and taking two adrenal glandulars per day. I have also been on four grains of dessicated since last March. I... 23 Oct 2005 11:57

What am I to do?
Apologies, but I am reaching the end of my tether. I'm running out of options to try and feeling worse every day. I'm 38 and have probably had autoimmune thyroiditis of some kind since my teens (still have antibody activity). Despite having FT3 and FT4 that didn't look too bad on 125 mcg (FT4 just over range, FT... 26 Oct 2005 16:30

Saw a different GP today
A little background...I'm in the military, so I don't necesarily get to see the same doc every time. Labs from about 2 1/2 months ago: TSH 13.89 (don't remember the lab range, but we know mine is high) Labs from Oct 5th: TSH 14.056 or something close Currently taking 25 mcg of synthroid. So, I see some... 29 Oct 2005 20:20

Iodine Supplementation?
Is anyone taking iodine supplementation (e.g., Iodoral brand tablets)? I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroiditis) and took the iodine loading urine test - haven't received the test results yet but wanted to see if anyone is taking iodine supplements. If you have, what have the results been like? Are you feeling b... 19 Oct 2005 19:17

Panic Attacks?
I have been struggling with hypothyroid symptoms for years now, and I've FINALLY gotten a doctor to listen to me. She tested me and lo and behold, I am indeed hypothyroid. Doctors are usually skeptical when I speak to them regarding this because I am only 24 and I have no children. I do have a family history of ... 18 Oct 2005 13:02

Niaspan and Graves (possibly nearing remission)
Hi, Briefly: I was diagnosed with Graves a year ago (T3 @ 10, TSH barely readable) and have been on Tapazole since. The levels during the last 4-6 months have been normal, and in fact are now approaching the borderline for hypo (TSH in the 4's, T3 @ 0.93). Dr. is testing me again shortly, and if I am nearing or ... 20 Oct 2005 08:12

Salivary Adrenal results - help with interpretation
Hi, before trying T3 again, I thought I'd look at my cortisol and dhea levels as I'd been told that some of the symptoms I've been having recently might be due to adrenal problems. The tests came back as 'normal', but although they are nominally within the accepted ranges the levels do zig zag between top and bott... 5 Nov 2005 17:10

I had a thyroid function test done and he says the results are normal and that there's nothing more to be done. He suggested i try to lose weight or get fitter, but I'm not overweight and I'm in pretty good... 13 Oct 2005 11:58
