In looking at populations, some of the same groups at risk of Hashimoto's thyroiditis are the same groups at risk for pernicious anemia. There may be a common mechanism underlying this shared risk factor.
Vitamin B12 helps in reducing the TSh levels and controllng hypothyroidism (I was prescribed high dosages of B12 as i had high TSH levels due to hypothyroid)
Having hypothyroidism can affect your hemoglobin levels because the low levels of thyroid causes the hemoglobin levels to drop too. These are also linked to B12 deficiency and macrocytic anemia.
Yes. Acupuncturists can treat low thyroid levels.
Thyroid levels are measurements of the thyroid hormones in your body. Low TSH suggests you have too much thyroid hormone circulating. High TSH suggests you don't have enough thyroid hormone circulating.
For the most part, elevated levels of vitamin B12 are not dangerous. However, there are a few diseases that may cause these levels to increase. These include hypereosinophilic syndrome, polycythemia Vera, and two forms of leukemia.
A B12 test may be ordered separately or with other screening tests.
there are medications used to rebalance thyroid hormone levels if a person has an overactive or underactive thyroid (medical conditions)
Thyroid supplementation is designed to be taken alone. Labels instruct users to take their medicine one hour before or two hours after eating or drinking anything. It should be taken with 8 ozs of water only. Taking anything or eating or drinking anything with thyroid supplementation will alter its absorption creating inconsistent blood levels.
In normal persons the tongue does not have anything to do with the Thyroid. Rarely, however the base of the tongue may have ectopic thyroid tissue
A 15.0 thyroid doesn't give enough information. Please tell which thyroid test was run.
I've had an underactive Thyroid for many years. In April of last year i lost 95% of my hair, the doc said it could be down to my Thyroid problem in the fact that my stomach doesn't absorb vitamin B12. I'm now on 3 monthly B12 injections and I'm happy to say my hair has grown back. :)
