If you're sort of nervous and taking synthroid makes you feel more calm DO YOU HAVE LOW THYROID or would ANYONE taking synthroid feel more calm- even if their thyroid was fine?

I would say try a day without your medication and see if you get more stressed and maybe try it on a friend without low thyroid. Then you can either stop taking it or start taking it again.

How does the thyroid glands affect the brain?
Does anyone know does the thyroid affect your brain so to speak. I had my thyroid removed and ever since I got it out my brain is something else. I had a head injury sometime ago and when I had my thyroid taken out it was like waking up from the dead. I am on medication now to replace my thyroid and like I said I am a totally different person now since my thyroid was removed. But I want to get the real facts how the brain affects thyroid medication or the thyroid please.
Is Thyroid disease a disease?
Seeing as the thyroid (thyroid gland) is not a disease but one of the endocrine glands located in our body (specifically in the neck area below the thyroid cartilage). Then no, you cannot "contact" a thyroid from anyone. Since normally, we are all supposed to have a thyroid gland. Well if you meant to say Typhoid fever, then yes, it is indeed a communicable disease.

Does starving work for everyone including hypothyroid people who take synthroid?
Does it work for what? I can't think of any reason starving is a good idea.Any change in weight when taking a thyroid medication will mean that you need to adjust the doseage. Not that you shouldn't try to lose weight if you are over-weight but, keep in mind that you will need to work with your doctor and lose weight at a reasonable pace to keep your thyroid problem in check.Like the first poster, I don't understand, for what?Starving is certainly not a good idea for anyone in anycase.
What disorder is caused when the thyroid gland is not working?
Thyroid dysfunction may be caused by anyone or more of several diseases and disorders. Dysfunction may result in too much hormone, or too little. In either case the thyroid is not functioning properly. If the question refers to the thryoid function halting or under-functioning, then the most common cause is Hashimoto's Disease, however cold nodules in the thyroid can also cause a hypOthyroid condition, as can iodine deficiency. Eating too many goitregenic foods may cause a hypOthyroid condition. A less common cause of hypOthyroid function is a problem with the pituitary gland which is the master controller for the thyroid and other glands.

What is the causes of graves disease?
Grave's disease is an autoimmune dysfunction of the thyroid glands, and is also called "thyroid storm". It's a condition that sometimes occurs when a thyroid gland turns "on" and won't shut off, thus producing too much thyroxine. It's signs and symptoms are usually much the same as hyperthyroidism and include a condition known as 'bug eyes' where the eyeballs protrude from their sockets. It is when the body produces too much thyroid hormone because of the immune system. It can affect anyone, but it is most common in women and people under 40. Very rarely is it a life-threatening condition. There are a couple treatments for the disease, one involves a medication to allow the thyroid glands to slow production until the body can heal, the other involves destroying the thyroid glands either surgically or through radioactive iodine. You can read about the condition at the related link below.

Diets for Thyroid Problems?
Thyroid problems usually fall into one of two categories: hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when your body does not produce enough thyroid hormone, or it produces enough hormone but does not absorb it effectively. Hyperthyroidism is when your body produces too much thyroid hormone. The symptoms of hypothyroidism include weight gain, constipation, a horse voice, fatigue, headaches, and aches in the arms and legs. In general, hypothyroidism is a slowing of the body's systems. Some people report that medications do not seem to work well when the thyroid is underperforming. Hyperthyroidism symptoms include anxiety, weight loss, and heart palpitations. Goitgrogens are foods that affect the way the thyroid functions. Foods in this class inhibit thyroid hormone production and should be avoided by anyone with hypothyroidism. Cabbage, millet, cassava, mustard greens, soy and spinach are all common goitgrogens. Patients with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism should eat plenty of lean meats, fish, poultry, antioxidant-containing foods, and most vegetables. Patients with hyperthyroidism can also eat foods that contain goitgrogens. However, soy should only be eaten with the approval of your doctor if you are taking any kind of thyroid medication. A healthy lifestyle is important for the treatment of thyroid hormone disorders. Exercise has a beneficial effect on both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, so patients with either should get at least 30 minutes of exercise five days per week. Some herbs and supplements may be effective for treating disorders of the thyroid. Sometimes thyroid problems are caused by a lack of iodine; in these cases, iodine supplements can be beneficial. This is rarely a problem in countries like the United States, where all commercially available table salt contains iodine as an additive, but can be a problem in developing countries. Sufferers of hypothyroidism might consider taking selenium supplements, since a lack of selenium in the blood can cause the body to absorb inadequate amounts of thyroid hormone. Hyperthyroidism sufferers may benefit from supplements of vitamins A, C, and E, which are antioxidants. Anyone with a thyroid disorder should consult a doctor regarding the consumption of alcohol and caffeine, both of which can disrupt the body's metabolism.
Common And Uncommon Symptoms Of Thyroid Disorder?
There is a broad range of thyroid symptoms that are commonly misdiagnosed. This is because they are seemingly unrelated and can have several different causes. Some sufferers may not even consider some of the less common thyroid symptoms as actual symptoms at all. For example, irregular or heavy menstrual cycles can be caused by thyroid problems. The thyroid gland is responsible for releasing the hormones needed to regulate growth, development, body temperature and metabolism. Too much or too little of these hormones can cause devastating effects on a person's health. One of the most common disorders associated with the thyroid is hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not release an adequate amount of hormones. This condition can be managed easily once it is diagnosed. Any person suffering from a combination of the symptoms outlined below should consider consulting their physician. Common Thyroid Symptoms Perhaps the most widely recognized of thyroid symptoms are obesity and overall sluggishness. People with hypothyroidism may diet for years and be unable to lose weight because of the inadequate production of thyroid hormones. Other commonly reported symptoms include limp, lifeless hair, constipation, dry skin, general aches and pains and feeling cold often. Obviously, these symptoms can be associated with any number of different causes, which is why many people suffer from hypothyroidism for years without treatment. Less Common Thyroid Symptoms Some of the less common symptoms of thyroid disorder include a hoarse sounding voice, heavy or irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, lack of sex drive, carpal tunnel and memory loss or confusion. Again, these symptoms are not always obvious as symptoms and they often go undiagnosed. Physical Thyroid Symptoms In addition to the symptoms outlined above there are often physical hints that a person is suffering from hypothyroidism. Swollen or puffy arms, legs, hands and feet, as well as puffiness in the face, especially around the eyes, are often seen in people suffering from hypothyroidism. They often have coarse or thinning hair, brittle fingernails and depressed, or slow, body movements. Unfortunately, inadequate thyroid hormones can have devastating effects on a person's body and mind. However, this condition is easy to treat, and sufferers, once diagnosed, enjoy a positive prognosis. Anyone suffering from a combination of the thyroid symptoms outlined above should consult their physician to have their thyroid function tested.
