| | I think everyone who has experienced these problems, should get a complete Thyroid Panel including Antibody Test (Thyroglobulin and Peroxidase); you are certainly entited to have them as a base anyway. Find another doc who will explore all avenues. |

| | Hi,
You have to find a doctor that will work with you and will prescribe you a T3 with T4. I just started from a month ago taking T3 compound with T4. For 20 years I was only on T4 but my condition got very bad. I also went to a doctors who told me my tests TSH,T4 and T3 were normal and the same time I was feeling terrible. I did the same like you ,raised my T4, I doubled it to be able to get out of the bed. A few doctors told me that I have anemia and that's my problem , which I did not agreed and kept looking for a doctor working with T3. After I started T3 I feel much better but still adjusting the dose, which is not easy process. You won't get better only on T4 but to start with T3 , you have to work with a doctor to follow you while adjusting and geting to the right dose for you. Don't give up and find a good doctor.Mary's Shomon web site is where I found my doctor chek it out.

| | For what it is worth, a somatiser is medically defined as someone who lays particular emphasis on physical symptoms and who play down or even deny psychological symptoms. This is often the case with the patients who are suffering from depression, who prefer to focus on their physical symptoms rather than considering the psychological ones.

| | I take 8 grains armour and feel great. Its what's right for you, only you know how your body feels. I was left ill on 200mg t4 meds for 15 years and I couldnt work or look after my children. , I had to live on state benefits.
TPA would not advice me to take 8 grains, but it what my body needs.
TPA are great and helped me though a very difficult time in my life, for which I am most grateful.

| HYDROCORTISONE THINS YOUR SKIN! Sorry for all the caps but... Guest 22:01:23 |
| | HYDROCORTISONE THINS YOUR SKIN! Sorry for all the caps but this stuff is not good to use at all. Trust me. . I have very sensitive skin and was using it on my hands for years. Now the top of my hands have very thin skin. Try Lubrex lotion/soap which you have to order from places like Allerderm.com online (heard about them from a dermatologist on one of my many old reactions before going more natural). Lubrex lotion started breaking me out too though unfortunately. . maybe I developed an allergy to that as well. As a side note, Vaseline works sometimes on my skin to moisturize it. When it was extremely cracked before Vaseline helps.
A lotion that has been really helpful to me and is thick like Lubrex and doesn't break me out is the Oatmeal lotion with Collidial. . the brand that was wonderful for me I got @ CVS and was a CVS brand. I know that brands can differ but I had success with the Oatmeal Collidial lotion, CVS brand.
I am having other health issues as well as far as my thyroid which effects the skin but I can tell you without a doubt that Hydrocortisone is definitely not the way to go.
I hope this info helps.

| | Both my sister and myself were diagnosed 2 years ago with underactive thyroid. She takes 100 micrograms Thyroxine daily. I take 75 micrograms daily. My sister is exhausted all the time. She is just about managing to hold on to her job(she has had a lot of time off). She justs works in the morning now, comes home and sleeps on the couch all afternoon. I finished work two years ago on the understanding (with my wonderful generous husband)that I would return to work when I felt better. I'm still waiting!. I do very little, otherwise I easily become exhausted. Consequently I am putting loads of weight on. My muscles and joints are affected greatly. I used to work in an office and my muscles in my arms at the end of the day were really aching. At one point I couldn't lift the kettle up without my hands and arms seeming to 'give way'. Doing gardening or anything strenuous is out of the question now. I find it very frustrating as I used to be really strong and fit.
My sister's doctor suggested that she had chronic fatigue syndrome. My doctor also suggested this( we live in different counties). I didn't want to 'go down that road'(I am losing faith with the medical profession), but my sister went to the chronic fatigue syndrome clinic held at her local hospital. The doctors there said that they were seeing a lot of people who had been prescribed Thyroxine and that there was research being carried out to see if there was a link. I am, and always have been utterly convinced that there is. They said that they were seeing people with both chronic tiredness and also muscle pain.
I honestly believe that Thyroxine is not the wonder drug the doctors are making it out to be and that it just does not suit some people. Trying to get the alternatives prescribed by closed-minded, busy doctors with set budgets in Britain is impossible at the moment.

| | you're not suppose to drink caffiene if you are hypothyroid and on synthroid. You're suppose to take it in the morning with WATER not coffee and wait about an hour till you eat anything. Four hours till you have calcium. Should follow a diet and alot of excercise. Fruits, veggies, lean meat little carbs because its hard for people with hypothyroidism to process carbs. Stay away from sugar, white starches, caffiene, alcohol, and ciggerettes you hsould be fine. |

| | Hi TJ, I hope this helps. I have just recently went through the same thing with my thyroid. For years I have had symptoms of hypothyroid and for years Dr.'s have been telling me that it is fine. It was not until I read Dr. Phil's weight loss book that I discovered that maybe I am slightly under active and that the "normal" range defined by Dr's is not really "normal" at all. The range they deemed to be normal is very wide spread. Don't ask me to tell you what the range of numbers mean but I will tell you this. I have was just recently tested again for hypo and my number was on the "lowest end of normal." 1.2 I think it was. Therefore, I am not technically hypo according to the Dr. However, I have started taking the ThyroSense and since then have at least been sleeping better. I have also introduced green tea supplements into {censored} vitamin regimen to also gain the benefits from that. I would suggest that you go to the following website that tells you about ThyroSense and what it does for you. http://canadianvitamins.com/merchant.ihtml?pid=748&step=4. I really wish you the best of luck and hope you find what it is that you are looking for. Warmest Regards, KJ |

| | I don't believe the people are afraid of everything who write in on this site. I think they are more cautious with the autoimmune disease like crohn's.It is the abdominal pain that is worse than labor pains and make you curl up in your bed for a day, the constant diahrea that you basically have no control over, the surgery for your appendix, gall bladder which has been infected with crohn's and also those kidney stones due to dehydration so with all that i think the flu shot for these people would be recommended. |

| | Maggie.... A piece of advice for you. When considering any new medication or advice from an "authority" just follow the money trail. For example, you see your doctor; he/she prescribes a med. The doctor earns his office visit fee regardless of what he does or doesn't prescribe. But.... people on websites, organic gurus and all the others are there to make money. The more they can sell the more they make. Think about this before you hand anyone your hard earned money in order to feel good. Ginny |

| | Thyroid is a gland made up of specific cells, tissues to form this organ, their failure to function well could be due to number of reasons and one underlying cause is lack of oxygen and nutrients specific for this gland as well as pituitary Gland which contols the endocrine system including thyroid gland! I suggest you try cellfood which splits water into oxygen and hydrogen coupled with 78 trace elements, 34 enzymes and 17 amino acids and truely food for the cells! This may reverse your problem! Coconut oil also stimulates thyroid gland to produce the neccessary hormones!
any further info on this you can write to me at: edwcecil@gmail.com

Of course, a gastroenterologist will be able to check out your disgestive ststem health. Best wishes for good health. |

| Any clues? Vickie L. Knell 20:56:19 |
| | {censored} has been having unusal symptoms that were thought to be neurological...muscle weakness causing frequent falling, uncontrollable twitching, etc. However MRI, EEG appear normal. Has also been suffering from many symptoms of hypothyroidism? Cold, tired all the time, no appetite but unusual weight gain, hair loss, headaches, heavy never-ending periods. She has not had a TSH test recently, but could these things all be related? Has anyone heard of hypothyroidism causing falling or muscle weakness? |
