      The worse lab results I ever got was 38, should no higher than .05. Never

      I go Monday for my MRI and lab to see if it is my thyroid, I had to ask the

normal but if I would feel better she'd check it. So we will see.
Take care and have a good weekend.

Kim:
  Please keep us posted. I hope that everything will be alright. After you have
your resullts let's know. Even though I am not good reading them, people here is
great knowing the numbers and how they should be and what they mean. And I am
always here to research information so we can compare notes till we find an
answer. You've mentioned that your thyroid was taken, what you mean by that Kim?
Is that mean that you had to remove your thyroid or you were diagnosed with low
thyroid?
As you can see in the posts of the room, armour seems to be the way to get it
back to health, I am going through the transition to adjust to the armour, in my
case, the synthetic version almost killed me, and the doctors didn't had an clue
what they were doing. But with armour, thanks to the help of this group and
specially Denise, I decided to start on armour and I am starting to feel better
slowly. I really wish you the best and please let me know how it go.Love and
Light.

Then what I thought was for sure a herniated disk ended up being muscle spasms
in my lower back, I also started with all these crazy symptoms, so my reg doc
sent me to a nerologist and he did a couple of tests and then told me I may be
experiencing early symptoms of MS. That really scared the hell out of me. Then
he did a muscle and nerve test about3 weeks later and it came back normal. He
told me come back in 6 months. Slowly I started feeling fine( about 6 weeks)
than wam oh, it came back and now my reg doc is sending me to get a MRI on
Monday. WHich most likely will come back normal to. From what I hear from people
with MS is that it could take years to get diagnosed. The lessions don't always
show up. So now I wait.
I plan on getting my thyroid tested tommorow, I'm sure it is low, because my
hair is falling out so much. So I'll let ya now.

Hi Kimberley
One of the side effects of synthroid can be ringing in your ears.  I've had
it for years.  And also I have muscle spasms in my back that lead to
tingling in my hands and arms.  The tingling happens when a nerve gets
slightly compressed.  My solution to this is more exercise and
physiotherapy.

I am new to this chat group.  I had a total thyroidectomy last July
and it has been an uphill battle.  The first few months were great,
but around the fifth month from surgery, I believe I went through
a 'thyroid storm'.  I felt very disconnected and toxic.  I lost weight
and was dizzy most of the time.  After pressing the issue with my doc,
blood tests were drawn and I found out that not only was my TSH
significantly out of range (high 9.7) but I was anemic as well.  Iron
pills and an twice increased dosage on my Levothyroxine (to .150) is
working somewhat.  I still have gastro problems, which I will have a
colonoscopy done soon.  For a minute, I felt like I was truly dying.
My thyroid condition is heredity (mother deceased)with all of mom's
siblings seem to have the condition as well.  I talk Zoloft (.50) at
night so it won't interfere with the thyroid performance.  Iron pills
are taken in the middle of the day (at least four hours after the
thyroid dose).  I am still struggling although my days seem to be
getting better after each increase.  I am trying to convince my doc to
put me on Cytomel (for the T3) affect.  I am beginning to feel a
soreness around my neck left side with a continued raspy voice (it
used to come and go).  Should I be concerned?

Hi irealy dont know if you can but i have hyperthyroidism and im
going to try to go with the vitamins it calls for to reduce the
hyperthyroidisim.my doctor wants me to have the rai treatment and im
scared to .i guess you have never had that treatment have you.its
just that if it doese not work the first time then he said well do
it again.if that does not work then i guess surgery. i too have had
this for about 6 years.i have not done anything about it yet.but i
dont have any bad effects from it except i have premature heart
beats wich i take a beta blocker for.it could be from my mytro valve.
i would try the vitamins and see where you stand ,anything is better
than having to go through pills or surgery.im ascared of the rai
treatment because i feel the side effects are bad.hope to be of some
help  .good luck ANN

Hello, I'm new to the group and I thought you guys might be able to
help me.

Here are the numbers.
TSH = 7.7
T-3 uptake = 25
T-4 total = 5.7
Free T-4 index (T7) = 1.4

The TSH is out of range but the rest of the numbers are within range
although they are on the low side of the range.

Over the past 6 years, these numbers haven't really changed much and
I think they have probably been in this range my whole life.

However, I have symptoms of a hyperactive thyroid wich include shaky
hands, difficutly sleeping, crappy memory and a tendency to be hot.

Information that I have gathered from the web seems to be very
contradictory and often questionable.

All I want to know is - can I lower my TSH to about 5 or 6 naturally
and if I do, will I stop having the symptoms?

I'm currently reducing my iodine intake by eliminating my daily
vitimin.

I have read that eating almonds can cause hypothyroidism. If I eat
a limited amount everyday, will it help to reduce the TSH?

What about bugleweed and the L stuff?

I sure would appreciate any input from you folks.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Melissa,

I had a totalthyroidectomy in 2002.  I was only in hospital
overnight,
the anesthetic is one you should watch out for, I was vomiting most
of
the night, because I was so scared of the operation I became
constipated so the night before the surgery I decided to take a
herbal
laxative.  Stupid thing to do whether herbal or chemical.  I was ill
all night.  I know this affect was caused by the laxative because I
had
surgery 3 weeks before to remove one of my parathyroid glands (hense
the thyroidectomy)and I was perfectly OK.

What the surgeon did not tell me, nor anyone else, was that becasue
they have to move your neck muscles out of the way to get to your
thyroid, your neck muscles will be very sensative to movement for
about
a week.  I was not told this and felt good enough to drive 3 days
after
surgery.  I suffered for 2 weeks with pain, and ended up using heat
pads to calm my neck muscles (which worked very well.)

The surgery is fine, the recovery is OK too but I was lucky I had
help.
My mother-in-law came to look after my son who was 4 at the time.
For
the first 2 or 3 days after surgery with the help of Oxy-codine, I
slept for most of the time.

I also had a small bone shaped neck pillow, (purchased from CVS at
the
time) to help support my neck while I slept.  I found that incredibly
helpfull.


Try not to twist your neck - I also did that first time around and I
think that helped with my muscle problems afterwards.  Second time
around I did not twist my neck at all for about a week, I walked
around
the house like a wooden toy.  But at least I was not repeating my
first
mistakes.

I had two surgeries in the same place 3 weeks apart, so as I just got
over one I had to go and have another.  My recovery from the second
surgery was great with no hick-ups (with the exception of my using
laxatives).  I protected my neck, and used heat pads to soothe the
mucscles, I used my bone shaped neck pillow to support my neck when I
slept or when someone took me in their car.

And I had help for the first few days after surgery until I stopped
needing the pain killer oxycodene.  I swapped after a few days and
used
normal pain killers.

As I have just said I had two surgeries and my voice was not damaged
in
the slightest.  Obviously your neck and site of surgery is sore for a
while, and my voice was raspy for a few days, I found it difficult to
swallow for about a day or so, but after that, after a few days
everything settles down.

I was really curious to see the scar, but I was instructed not to
take
the 'band-aid' off for at least 3-4 days.  I did as I was told
because
I did not want to get an infection in it.  As it was I did get a
slight
infection in just one tiny spot sized area right at the end of the
scar, and even today, I see the tiny dimple looking hole it left
against an otherwise perfectly seemless neck line - my scar is more
or
less invisibe to anyone not knowing I had the surgery.

So hopefully, all this will help you have a wonderful, quicky and
hassle free recovery.

Take care

Debbie

Melissa,

I had a thyrodectomy almost a year ago.  Since it's late I'm a little sketchy on
the details, but I was a little sore afterwards.  My voice was raspy for a while
(approx. a month), and my projectile took even longer to return.  It took me
approx. 6 mos. to reach my normal tone of yelling (have many kids), but I'm
fine.  That whole experience was nothing............i just hate taking medicine
for the rest of my life.  You will be fine!  God Bless!!

will I have a raspy voice after? trouble swallowing? what foods did
you eat after?

anything you can think of will help!!

thanks!

Hi,
I was in the hospital for 4 days, no raspy voice. You will feel like you have a
sore throat, the incision will look bad at first but it will go away, you can
hardly see mine. Make sure you cover your incision up while you are in the sun.
For me I lost so much weight while in the hospital, I wish I could go thru it
again!!LOL
Good luck, it will be fine, let us know how it went.

We had a volunteer take over the list and were supposedly not going to get

Hi, there,
Synthroid did not work on my Hashimoto's nor any other synthetic
thyroid hormone, until I went on Armour thyroid I was not any good at
all, now was on it for years, allmost human, but off it two weeks on
Cytomel, another 3 weeks, then off two until radioactive iodid uptake
and scan, checking for cold nodules, not since 8 years ago, had biopsy
negatory year and a half ago, but thyroid enlarged 24% since then,
wheew,,,,good luck with the synthroid. the autom immune disorders seem
to go together, so know nothing about pernicious anemia. bless you.

I would see another dr....make sure your thyroid is where he said. Several times
they got mine wrong.
