Thyroid

Thyroid problems are generally divided into two categories, hypothyroid and hyperthyroid.

I'm going to assume that you have hypothyroidism, because that is more likely to be your situation.

Hypothyroidism has to do with the thyroid gland producing less T3 & T4 hormones that help regulate metabolism and mental and physical development. If you have this condition you will likely experience weight gain and generally feel tired most of the time. This can be especially true when you first wake up in the morning. You will find it hard to get out of bed.

The best thing to do is to go see a doctor, which you probably have done already. And, since this is difficult to diagnose, if your doctor doesn't give you a T3 and T4 test, I suggest that you get a second opinion and another set of lab tests.

According to mayoclinic.org it would seem that you might just have low thyroid symptoms. Or it's medical name hypothyroidism. Already before looking I suspected it. Even if my area of knowledge were for animals, it matched the symptoms. However, for you to be sure, I would suggest you go to a doctor, so the right test can be done and you can get treatment for your illness.

If there is a need to scan the thyroid gland, most of the time it can be done using an ultrasound scan. If further testing is needed, sometimes a doctor will order what's called a thyroid scan. A thyroid scan is a picture of the thyroid gland. This is taken after a small dose of a radioactive isotope, that is normally absorbed by the thyroid cells, has been injected or swallowed. This helps a physician determine if a growth on the thyroid is an active part of the thyroid tissue or not.

There are usually no symptoms associated with thyroid nodules unless they become so large that they can be felt or seen at the base of your neck. If you think you have thyroid nodules, you should seek the advice of a physician because sometimes they can be cancerous.

Screening thyroid hormone levels regularly includes blood tests for the TSH, T3, T4 and free T4. Normal TSH blood test levels can vary from .3 to 4.5 depending upon gender and life stages; like if you're pregnent or postpartum.

The most accurate diagnostic tool for thyroid cancer is a biopsy. In this process a sample of thyroid tissue is withdrawn and examined under a microscope by a pathologist. This usually takes a day or so.

Large doses (2-9 g) of ganoderma taken regularly over the course of 3-6 months may result in diarrhea, upset stomach, and dizziness.

Hypothyroidism, thyroid tumor, and hyperthyroidism.

(1) When you have a cancerous growth (2) when you have a non-cancerous growth that pushs into the neck, causing other things in the neck to be squeezed (3) and this is the most likely case, when they can't tell from the biopsy if the growth is cancerous or not.

it can, but not likely. your doctor will give you the correct dose so that it doe not happen.

half of thyroid gone. Now they say it has growed back What are systoms

My brother was an AWACs navigator and died at the age of 40 from thyroid cancer which became carcinomatosis throughout his entire body. he was treated for thyroid cancer but the disease had metastasized to his body. Therre should be an investigation if there are others out there who lost family members while serving their country.

Hypersensitivity reactions should be considered with organic compounds such as chlorhexidine, benzalkonium and hexachlorophine.

A goiter is inflammation of the thyroid gland, also known as the thyroid gland becoming enlarged. A goiter isn't necessarily genetic. However, thyroid conditions do run in families. So if someone in your family has a thyroid condition, this can increase your chances of having a thyroid condition.

In the thyroid, pertechnetate is not metabolized as is iodide, and it accumulation is limited to the ion-concentrating mechanism of thyroid epithelial cells (its trapped but not organified).

At an ear, nose, and throat doctor.

Just by a simple blood test.

An ultra sound.

These are just a few ways.

After missing a week of thyroid supplement, the body becomes hypOthyroid again and suffers symptoms related to that disease.

Raynauds occurs in autoimmune people when the nerves that control the blood supply to the hands and feet "misfire" and tell those blood vessels to close down.

There are many thyroid diseases, some are autoimmune like Raynaud's. Frequently if a person has one autoimmune disease, they have others. However, thyroid and Raynaud's are not directly linked.

Yes, in a couple of ways.

1) If you take them at the same time. Thyroid medications are meant to be taken alone, 30 minutes before you eat or digest anything else.

2) If aspirin (which is in Equate Extra Strength Headache relief) is used for even one week, the thyroid hormones they are looking for on tests (T3, T4 - both total and free, and TSH) will be lower. So, taking aspirin may not interfere with your thyroid medication, but it does interfere with how your thyroid is performing.

It should be noted that in some thyroid patients, specifically, those who have a normal thyroid except for low T3 or T4, taking thyroid hormones with acetaminophen can set you up for liver damage.

Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and Naproxen (Aleve) are safe alternative pain relievers which have not been shown to interfere with thyroid medications.

I just had one at the 45 year mark..
