thyroid symptoms Archives

what are the long term effects if not treated?

I have anxiety attacks and i get depressed feelings.

Ok.

When I was first diagnoised with thyroid problems, I was diagnoised with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (hypothryoidism).

I have symptoms of it: dry skin, brittle nails, I’m constantly tired, I have memory problems, a large goiter, and I’ve always had weight problems.

However- I also have symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Symptoms I have: I’m nervous, my hands shake, I sweat a lot, I’ve got a 50% chance of running to the bathroom after eating, my hair isn’t exactly what I would call fine, but it is soft, and it falls out.

So is it normal to have symptoms of both? Thank you.

anyone know if the Achalasia disease has anything to do or is connected at all with the thyroid? I believe i have Achalasia but i’m also experiencing extreme changes in my body temperature such as feeling cold when its quite hot and burning up at night when i sleep.

I went to the doctor and told her that my neck sometimes got a bit swollen. She checked it out and at first glance she said I might have a thyroid problem and possibly a goiter. I took the blood test and everything came back normal. I was wondering what were some of the symptoms of someone who has had it. Could it be that there is something wrong but not noticable yet? Some of the things that I have been experiencing is persistant nausea, breathing problem which is not caused by asthma, and some more than usual hair loss. Is this something that could be related? Any information would help. Thanks.

I am a 23 year old female, I have quite a large goiter (enlarged thyroid gland) and I am worried that it may be cancerous. Please help if you can, any information would be truly useful and most appreciated.

My symptoms: tired all the time,
get cold very easily,
memory problems,
hair loss,
can’t lose weight,
depression.

I was sure this was hypothyroid but the tests came back all fine. I’m trying to find an answer because I just don’t feel healthy anymore. I looked up Wilson’s syndrome, but it seems many doctor’s don’t believe in Wilson’s. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to feel better? I do not take any supplements at this time, and eat a fairly well balanced diet, mostly organic vegetables, etc. I’d appreciate any ideas for supplements or nutrition changes or anything that will help. Thanks!

any info on post partum thyroidism

I think I have a slow thyroid…what are some of the signs? Any help would help..I don’t have money for the doctor yet.

I went to the doctor to get my thyroid checked as I have many symtoms that lead that way. I am tired all the time, sluggish in the afternoon, sufficient hair loss, weight gain, and I am cold all the time. Could there be a possibility that the test was wrong?

I’ve been losing and gaining weight. I heard that it may be my thyroid. I want to know about thyroid health problems and how to prevent if you do have it. Are there any drugs that you can get at the store for it? Help me out

I have the understanding that Depakote is not only to treat depression but is said to help those with thyroid symptoms and
people who get migraines. If a person has all the symptoms of hyperthyroid and a nodule is found on their thyroid but they have been on depakote because it was thought they were manic depressive. Then when they go in for their thyroid tests their
thyroid tests come back normal. Could the depakote be interfering with their thyroid test results?

they seem to be fairly easily dismissed by doctors, but they keep piling on (symptoms). Has anyone had trouble finding a doctor to treat their thyroid problem? I know thyroid disease can sometimes be hard to diagnose, just wondering if anyone out there has had a similar and frustrating experience. Also, does anyone know if a high ANA titre is linked to thyrioid disease?

I have yet to go for a TSH but a recent ultrasound found several thyroid nodules. I have gained 20 lbs in the past month and really can’t afford this! I have several other symptoms as well such as palpitations, trouble swallowing, etc. My question is…. if they get my thyroid regulated with meds, will my excess weight come off or am I doomed to be like this? I am not a vain person. I am getting married soon and need to fit in my wedding dress! Hoping for some answers.

I have had thyroid symptoms for a long time, with always normal labs. Doesn’t make sense. Past couple years ultrasound every 6 mos. for thyroid swelling. Multi nodular goiter. Last week u/s showed one nodule getting larger. Have to have fine needle biopsy. I am so scared, right here at Christmas to have to go through this. Have feeling of choking, tightness in throat, lots of congestion in throat, hoarseness at times, fatigue, nervousness, palpitations etc. NORMAL LABS..Anyone have any suggestions? Mother had thyroid removed 80 yrs ago lots of thyroid disease in family. No thyroid cancer, though. I’m scared anyone have this problem????I do have cervical disc ruptures that I’m suppose to have surgery for, could that be causing any of my symptoms???Thanks so much for anyone who can help!!!

Just different ways that this problem has affected you and how it makes you feel. Thanks!

Went to a doctor…he took my blood and sent to pathlab…thing shows I dont have thyroid…but i have most of the symptoms of thyroid….BUT from the report…I only see T4 and TSH…did the doctor miss T3?

I have:
Fatigue-Weakness ( I have very low stamina)
Heat Intolerance ( Even at night…while not moving like lying down…if there’s no fan I sweat even the weather it is not hot)
A little bit of Depression
Constipation (mine is infrequent)
Nervousness and Tremors (I hate this)

so i thought that there might be some thing wrong with my thyroid
so i went to the doctor and he did some tests.
the office called me back about one week later and now wants to see me.
that means that they found some thing right?
and if i do have to take meds what are the side effects or restriction.to being on these pills.

Are allergies commonly related to thyroid issues? Are there are any nontradition / non western medicine approaches to treatment? Is this an issue that should be adressed by a doctor?
