My name is channing. I have been haveing a very very very very very
very very very very very very extreme case of chronic hives on skin
all over my legs, arms and body with chronic itching.I also get
swellings in my lip which I think is angioedema.I HAVE BEEN VERY
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS.   I have had this everyday since December
4, 2005 . I want to let you know I started breaking out in hives
back in 1999. I have had allergy tests and was found to be Allergic
to Feathers. No Doctor is able to help me with finding out what is
wrong with me.  I do suffer from Hypothyroidism. Below I have some
questions:

Questions I have:

1. Does anyone have Hypothyroidism?
2. Does anyone suffer from chronic hives if so what do you do to get
rid of the hives?
3. How do I get ride of the hives?
5. Does anyone get swellings in their lip?
4. What can I do to get rid of the Swellings in my lip?

I am looking for postal mail pen pals to keep my postal mail box
full. I am needing the people who would like to be my pen pal to
please accept and understand that I write short letters with
questiosn only. If you would like to be my pen pal please e-mail me
at chnaning28270@...

Hi Jeremy and welcome.
With regards to your question, I can tell you that when I get hypothyroid my
joints and muscles ache.  If I get too hypo I have to crawl, not walk, up
the stairs.  I can also tell you that if yo ur thyroid is hyper it can take
the calcium from your bones and you end up with osteoporosis.
I'm sure if you google- hypothyroid muscle joint pain-  you'll get lots of
information.

Hi everyone,

I am big on Yahoo groups with a few of my own.  I knew I'd find one on
Hashimoto's thyroiditis.  I was just told I had it.  I am a 34 year
old male. By what I understand, for males, especially in my age group,
this is not so common. Just want to learn some more about it.

I understand thyroiditis can cause muscle and joint pain in some
people.  I have degenerative disc deisease also.  Anyone know of any
relation between the two?

Jeremy

Wanda,

Thanks for responding.  I am somewhat relieved that it is a system
related to thyroid.  If you go out on the internet it scares you
half to death.  Good luck with your treatment!

Hi Wanda,

Armour is a hormone replacement drug that is a mixture of T4 & T3.

T4 is levothyroxine, (Synthroid, Levoxyl etc) the hormone replacement
given to us all with thyroid problems.  Taking T4 alone is OK for most
people, and as far as I know all we need, because our body can make T3
from T4.

T3 (brand name Cytomel) was given to me by my doctor, but only when I
had to stop taking my T4 prior to a scan.  T3 would give me the energy
boost I needed to keep going each day, and helped prevent a lot of hypo-
thyroid symptoms.

My thyroid was removed 4 years ago, and I have taken cytomel twice only.

Armour as I have already said is a combination of both T4 and T3.

I am definately with you on the weight gain too, and understand
completely, I was told that I should expect to put on at least 40lbs
after my thyroid was removed, but I followed the 'LID' (Low Idoine
Diet) for 8 weeks, this was extremely hard for me, but I did it and it
meant I did not put on any weight at all (honestly!).

How long ago did you have your thyroidectomy?  Are you taking any kind
of thryoid hormone now?

You have found a good group here, there are lots of members who have
gone through what you are going through.

out what was wrong with me. Every time they checked me for Hypo or
Hyperthyroidism it came back normal until my new Doctor checked me for
Hoshimoto, he found a nodule on my thyroid and sent me to get it biopsied and
the results showed up as suspicious. So, they went in and noticed that me
thyroid was totally damaged from the Hoshimotos. No cancer, thank the good lord
for that.  I was on Synthroid in the beginning until my insurance would only pay
for the generic, I started feeling all those symptoms I had before and found out
my body would not except the generic, so I have been on synthroid ever sense.
      The worse lab results I ever got was 38, should no higher than .05. Never
want to be that low again.
      I go Monday for my MRI and lab to see if it is my thyroid, I had to ask the
doctor to check my thyroid, she said you just had it checked in June and it was
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.

Judith,
   Hi, thanks for responding. I had my thyroid taken out 8 or 9 years ago. I've
been on synthyroid and was fine untill last year, my thyroid went wild, the endo
could not get it regulated, this went on for about 5 months.
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.

Judith,
   Hi, thanks for responding. I had my thyroid taken out 8 or 9 years ago. I've
been on synthyroid and was fine untill last year, my thyroid went wild, the endo
could not get it regulated, this went on for about 5 months.
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.

Hello Kimberly:
  I had lots of  ringing in my ears and lots of sensitivity to noises, it has
been better now with armour, and I also done some ear candle and did helped me.
The other symtoms also seem to be part of thyroid problems, but to rule out all
other possibilites wait till the mri result, but my personal opinion is that is
related with thyroid problems. Love and Light.

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

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.
