Hi,
Yes it does. My most irritating symptom is severe back and neck pain. Other symptoms are sweating, racing heart, hand tremors , diarrhea and fatigue. I knew that it was not the flu because of the irregular heart beat and the hand tremors, but for me the pain was very bothersome until I was treated for the hyperthyroidism. Hope that helps.
Phentermine is a stimulant commonly used for weight loss. Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid is working a little to hard and may cause weightloss. The combination of hyperthyroidism with phentermine is like a recipe for anorexia without having to miss meals.
The cure for primary hyperparathyroidism is surgery. There are no other effective treatments.
Additionally, you don't necessarily need to see an endocrinologist to be diagnosed with this condition. Most primary care physicians aren't well-educated on this condition and don't diagnose it properly.
Request Calcium, PTH and Vitamin D level blood tests from your doctor. Then have them check in another eight weeks. If calcium levels are high, I recommend you visit the link below and read in great detail, then forward to your doctor.
DO NOT allow hyperparathyroidism to go untreated. It won't get better on its own. It will only get worse.
The waiting period for certain activities post radioactive iodine ablation (RAI) is a matter of some contention. Should, and can are different terms.
Animals who undergo the process are quarantined for a minimum of 30 days to keep people and other animals around them safe from contamination.
Humans however, are not quarantined. They bathe and carry on their normal activities almost without restriction. This does not mean that they are safe.
Based upon the current guidelines for animals and the propensity for radiation alarms to go off near RAI patients and their belongings (even after they have left them) one might assume that contact prior to 30 days may not be as safe as the public is led to believe.
inadequate amounts of thyroid hormone
Yes, radioactive iodine can cause a surge in thyroid hormones that result in complexion problems. Later, the hypOthyroid condition caused by RAI can cause complexion issues as well.
Yes! I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's last year after some blood tests were run by my endocrinologist. My mother has hypothyroiditis, so I have inherited that gene unfortunately. For years I have been overweight, and I've always blamed my cravings for carbs. About three years ago, however, I lost 30 lbs in about a month. It was a miracle for me! People noticed me, and I felt my spirit, mood, and general outlook on life had improved. Sadly, I've gained all the weight back and then some. Now I am taking levothyroxine, a drug that is supposed to help my hormones balance out and get me back into a healthier lifestyle. So I suppose my story is the reverse of yours.
A hypERthyroid condition that exists during pregnancy makes the pregnancy a high-risk situation. Antibodies may affect the fetus as well as the mother, as well as the increased thyroid hormones created by her thyroid. Growth problems as well as issues maintaining the pregnancy are common complications.
When you have hypothyroidism your doctor will put you on some medicine that you have to take. you can also use natural treatments like kelp tablets but you have to stay regular with the your doctors appointments.
A heterogenous thyroid nodule can't be "fixed", but it can be treated or removed if it is causing a problem. Not all nodules need treatment. There are multiple types and causes of nodules. The treatment (if needed) is based entirely upon the reason for the nodule however, and seeing an endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid care is important to an appropriate diagnosis and treatment of the condition.
This is known as exophthalmia a common symptom of Grave's disease.
pancreas produce pancreatic juice which helps in the digestion of the food and they also produce hormones i.e insulin and glucagon which balances the sugar level of blood.
After a Radioactive Iodine treatment you should regularly visit your doctor to check for recurrence of cancer and side effects. After about 1/2 to a year later you will probably get one more iodine scan as a precaution. Blood tests will also be administered to observe your thyroid's functions. Many other tests can be done to be proactive.
