THYROID ISSUES PART II

[snowyice]

ang problem ko sa thyroid ko normal naman ang bloodtest ko pero sobrang naglalagas ang buhok ko....nakakabaliw talaga mga sis....I already have a schedule with a DR  in st lukes this nov 15 to have my endocrine check kasi sabi ng friend minsan daw hindi lang thyroid ang may problem wish ko lang maayos na....

I'm hyper too, i take levothyroxine thyrax.
Yun na ang pinakamurang gamot 4 grave disease so go 4 it. .
Masakit mang isipin pero wala akong budget 2 visit endo, no choice kundi pgtyagaan nlang mggamot.

I beg 2 disagree sa nagsabing hindi nagagamot ng medicine ang goiter, napeprevent lang ang s/s , may kila2 akong mayaman, as in rich talaga pinagtyagaan nyang maggamot nalang for 3years and tumangging magpaRAI then after she went to endo and found out na clear na ang thyroid nya, no hyper at all.

Kya medyo inspired ako, sad nga lang kasi wala pang checkup ever but feel relieve naman di tulad ng dati na kulang nalang maratay ako sa bed.

I weight loss din, mataba na ako dati from 62kg to 54kg, o diba bongga, todo lotion ako at moisturizer para hindi manuyot, sobrang dry kasi ng weight loss due to hyperthyroid. .

Btw, i'm only 19, gave birth to my 1st son at the age of 16 and 18 2 my 2nd son.
Hyperthyroidism is not iodine deficiency, nagbackread kasi ako at may nagsabing lack of iodine daw ang both hypo and hyper, definitely WRONG!
Ang cause nito ay panganganak, maling lifestyle, psychological stress, etc , hai i admit naman msyado akong madrama, mhilig mag-isip and laging depress. .

Di parin ako nawawalan ng pag asa.
Basta think positive, i know gagaling tayong lahat mga sisses
with our guts and with the help of our God.

i had a thyroid test last oct 4, tsh result is 0.39 until now d ko pa nadala ulit para mainterpret. Posible ba na hyperthyroid ako? nakalagay kc na range is 0.47-4.64 and if mababa daw sa normal tsh ibig sabihin hyper ang thyroid baliktad daw yun? so sabi ko before unti lang naman binaba than normal so baka ok lang naman but now worried din ako kc mainitin talaga ulo ko, mabilis mapagod as in laging pagod pakiramdam ko parang antamad tamad ko ambigat bigat pakiramdam ko. hirap ako matulog kadalasan lagi pa akong kinakabahan un parang tumutunog na sa tenga ko tibok ng puso ko pag worry ako sa mga bagay bagay. minsan sa pag tulog parang kelangan ko pa mageffort to relax kase parang me nakadagan sa dibdib ko hirap huminga pero once na mgdeep breathing  ako umook na cia. lagi pang masakit batok ko sabi naman noong APE namin sa ofis e muscle spasm lang. Does my level of tsh suggest na me hyperthyroid ako? btw overweight ako lapit na nga sa obesse now kaya nalilito ko supposed to be pag hyper dapat payat diba?

yes sis possble na hyperthyroid ka kasi tsh is a thyroid stimulating hormone. so if your thyroid hormone increases magaadjust yun tsh so as not overstimulate your thyroid gland :-)

from my previous post here... before i was diagnosed in philippines as hyperthyroid... mataas ang T3 & T4 tapos mababa ang TSH tapos bumagsak ang katawan ko, palpitations, tremors... i was given strumazol for hyper and inderal for palpitation. in addition to, some vitamins were given to me... pagdating ko dito sa saudi, after my first check up... i learned that na reverse ang hyper ko sa Hypothyroid... lumaki/tumaba ako ng husto, then I was given a Levothyroxine Sodium (Euthyrox) for  hypo. ang sabi ng internist ko, pag Hypo ka... tataas ang Total Cholesterol mo at yung triglyceride. so dalawa ang ginagamot sa akin ngayon. last Oct. 2010 check, nag normal lahat ang Total Cholestero, Triglyceride and my TSH so the doctor told me to stop everything and come back after 1 month. So last Nov. 2, bumalik ako for my check up. after stopping my medication, mejo tumaas ulit ang Total Cholesterol / Triglyceride ko tapos yung TSH ko mejo tumaas din pero still within the normal value. So my internist told me to continue Levothyroxine Sodium at least 25mcg. so hahatiin ko yung tablet kc 50mcg yun... I will come back the first week of December again...

sa aking observation... mas madaling i handle ang hypo kesa sa hyper... i could tell this kasi naranasan ko na both how do you feel under hyper and hypo.

hi mga sis, try checking out this page, it has updates, u can also communicate with other thyroid patients around the world http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=35794027415

Wala na pala yung old thread.
I'm looking for recommended endocrinologists. So far mga taga Mla Docs yung nakita ko dito at puro M-F lang ang clinic. 

Wala ba kayong ibang marerecommend? Sana meron clinic ng Saturday. Thanks!

[snowyice]

Hi girls pa join huh.. sino doctor mo sa st. luke's? my follow up check up din ako dun second wk of Nov si Dr. Rosales ang Endo ko.  Had partial thyroidectomy last Oct 27, 2010 sa St. Luke's din, surgeon ko was Dr. Caburnay. Lumaki na kasi masyado yung right thyroid, matagal pag nag rely me sa meds kaya I opted na to have it removed. Galing ng surgeon ko, at first takot talaga me na mawala voice ko after surgery kasi source ng income ko yun, pero I have no choice na  talaga.  Good thing everything went well. I stayed in the hosp for 4 days, after surgery medyo weak yung voice the following day back to normal na. Im so thankful to the Lord talaga for that.. haay, hirap ng sakit nato kasi it's not just us who's affected also our loveones kasi nga sa mga mood swings kelangan lang talaga ipaintindi natin sa kanila na we don't have a control over it and hopefully, they support us until we are totally cured from the sickness.  The key thing is, we find the right doc and get the right dosage of medication para ma normalize ang hormones in order for us to start living like normal people. Goodluck to all of us.

joining. i'm supposed to set a schedule with a doc to check my thyroid. medyo kabado ako, so i'm glad to have found this thread

[faerydoll_kilen]

pardon my ignorance, pero what kind of doctor should i look for if i am suspecting myself to have hyperthyroidism?
last time i have my check up sa pedia ko pa dahil 18 palang ako, now that i'm in my twenties wala pa akong trusted doctor eh.

i'm quite busy with work too so paano ba yung process dun to check your thryroid? matagal ba? preferably sa st lukes sana. thanks!
don't like to ask my parents kasi mga kabado yun, so i'd like to have it checked on my own 

[snowyice]

after having thyroid scan, it was confirmed na what I have is actually thyroditis. binigyan lang ako ng vit B complex na vitamins and check up after 6months

[babyseth]
