98% Synthroid - Will I Have to Take it Forever? (04/11/2006 10:33AM)

However, your normal TSH suggests that currently your thyroid gland is making a normal amount of thyroid hormone.

Most people on Synthroid (which is the same thyroid hormone that is made by your own thyroid gland) take it because their thyroid blood levels are low.

If your doctor is trying to prevent low thyroid levels in the future, there are some doctors who would just watch your blood tests over time and wait to start the Synthroid until your blood thyroid level ...

97% Hypothyrodism and Female Problems? (10/28/2006 12:14PM)

If your doctor has done thyroid blood tests on you and they are normal, then none of your problems can be attributed to your thyroid condition.
Even if your thyroid level is abnormal, I don't think your yeast infection and discharge have anything to do with your thyroid.
Your dose of thyroid hormone is higher than I would have predicted from your weight, but many times patients born without a thyroid do require higher-than-usual doses.

97% Testing Results and Hypothyroidism (05/01/2006 03:07PM)

Swelling of the face and hoarseness of the voice only happen in extremely severe hypothyroidism, so the normal TSH also tells me that your facial swelling and hoarseness are not from the thyroid.

2. Autoimmune thyroid disease can be indicated by the presence of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies, or both. There is no connection between your high cortisol level and your positive anti-thyroglobulin antibodies.

97% Possible Diagnosis Of Hahimoto's Thyroiditis (06/30/2008 11:58AM)

Patients with an enlarged thyroid gland or inflammatory thyroid disease (thyroiditis), or thyroid hyperfunction may have increased circulatory levels of thyroglobulin, however, this test is not ordered for these conditions. Having normal thyroid function test (normal thyroid status), assuming that they are normal, indicates that your symptoms are not related to any thyroid disease, therefore, you don't need any thyroid hormone treatment particularly in the form of armour thyroid, which ...

97% Menopause or Hidden Thyroid Condition? (10/31/1998 01:15PM)

Two years ago I developed a thyroid nodule; later received a suspicious biopsy report; used alternative methods; the nodule disappeared; had a sonogram - possible adenoma and cyst, however thyroid hormone levels remained normal; was experiencing menopause-like symptoms (I was 44 then). Thyroid levels are normal; FSH confirmation of menopause at 39. Endocrinologist wants to treat the symptoms (dry eyes, dry skin, weight gain, energy lack) with thyroid hormone, putting the thyroid at rest for ...

97% Subclinical Hypothyroidism (02/16/2006 05:01PM)

The thyroid gland knows how to make thyroid hormone, but it doesn't know how much thyroid hormone to make. If not, it sends out a hormone called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) that travels to the thyroid gland and stimulates it to make more thyroid hormone.

Subclinical hypothyroidism is a situation in which the TSH level is abnormal, but the measurement of the actual thyroid hormone level in the blood is within normal limits.

96% Fluctuating TSH Results and Birth Control Pills (12/08/2006 11:05AM)

Going off birth control pills might require a one time reduction in your thyroid hormone dose. After that, however, there is no reason why having been on birth control pills should cause your thyroid hormone requirements to fluctuate this much. Usually I wait 2 months to recheck the blood test if I am increasing the dose of thyroid hormone, and 3 months if I am decreasing the dose of thyroid hormone.

96% Testing For Thyroid Antibodies (02/21/2007 05:20PM)

Is it possible to have thyroid antibodies if you are on thyroid replacement hormone and no longer have a thyroid gland? Your endocrinologist has probably already checked for one kind of anti-thyroid antibody, called an "anti-thyroglobulin antibody" because it's presence can interfere with the blood test (called a "thyroglobulin") that your doctor uses to watch for evidence of recurrence of the thyroid cancer. The other anti-thyroid antibody is called an "anti-thyroperoxidase antibody" and ...

95% Graves' Disease Complications After Radioactive Iodine Treatment (09/19/2006 02:20PM)

Graves' disease is caused by an attack on the thyroid gland by the body's immune system. The immune system makes antibodies that stimulate the thyroid to make too much thyroid hormone.

In many Graves' disease patients, the immune system also makes antibodies that attack the tissues behind the eyes.

95% Conflicting Test Results (02/16/2006 05:38PM)

The answer to your question depends on the thyroid hormone levels in your blood. If the blood tests show that your thyroid gland is making too much thyroid hormone, then it is entirely possible that the left side of the thyroid is making too much thyroid hormone and suppressing the right side. However, if the blood tests show that your thyroid is making a normal amount of thyroid hormone, then you should probably have a fine needle aspiration of the right side of the thyroid to ...
