Ang alam ko lang yellowish skin and eyes pag hepa.  Nagcheck na ba sya blood?

nakaconfine na sya ngayon and under observation. yan din naiisip namin. nagtaka lang kami kasi nangyari lang naman yan kasi since nag-start sya taking meds for his thyroid, tapos nagka-allergy sya all over the body for 2 weeks tapos ngayon nag-yellow na daw sya.

[shinta]

^buti naman sis naka-confine na siya para mas matingnan ng mabuti. baka kasi may iba siyang sakit.  hyperthyroid ako dati, walang ganyang symptoms. joint pains, fatigue, dry hair and skin and heat intolerance ang nararamdaman ko. hope he gets well soon.

sobrang payat nya na ngayon. tapos confine na naman. nadedepress na nga sya kasi ang panget nya na daw. sabi ko wag nya na isipin un kasi importante gumaling sya.. ngayon ko lang nalaman, kahit mas maganda technology sa korea, mas maganda pa rin ang medicine satin. un mga gamot nila parang underdosage..sobrang bagal almost to none un effect kahit un mga antihistamine lang or other meds.  kaya nga sabi ko, kung pwede lang umuwi na sya at dito na magpagamot. 

ang hirap pala nitong sakit na to.. kala ko hormones-hormones lang..pero mahirap pala..

after reading yung mga posts nyo mga sis regarding RAI, nagdalawang isip na tuloy ako.
mahirap din pala imanage ang hypo.  last year pa nagsasabi si dra na mag undergo na daw ako sa rai.
4 years na ako ng gagamot eh. ok na naman yung result ng test ko kaso 5 mg yun twice a day, kapag nag once a day ako bumabagsak yung test ko.
pano kaya gagawin hindi na ako babalik dun sa dra ko, palit na lang kaya ako ulit ng doctor, ano kaya?
gusto ko try yun kay dra.tam mateo

^^it's good he's being treated na.  mahirap magspeculate because we are not doctors.  Hope he gets well soon.

@em_cee: yes. sabi ko nga for now, wala kaming choice but to trust the doctors in korea. kasi compared samin na wala namang alam sa medicine, mas alam nila ginagawa nila. ginawang 2x a day un gamot nya for thyroid kasi baka liver damage yun nangyari sa kanya.

I got my results na.

Within reference range TSH ko pero slightly high (3.96, ref. range is 0.27 ~ 4.20)
Anti-TPO is very high (992.3, ref. range is >100)

I researched some natural cures for autoimmunity, and I found Dr Hyman's website. Lagi niyang nirerecommend to cut back or stop eating gluten, dairy and sugar, to take supplements and probiotics and to exercise regularly.

Almost a month na akong di nagta-take ng bee propolis. dapat pala di ako nag-stop kasi probiotics yun Also, kailangan ko na i-modify diet ko. Lately pa naman, ang takaw ko sa matatamis.

[em_cee]

^ What is anti-TPO?  bakit hindi pinapacheck sa akin ng endo ko yan?

[shinta]

^one way din sis to determine what's causing the thyroid problem. pag mataas yung anti-TPO, it means your antibodies are attacking your thyroid gland. pag ganito, autoimmune yung condition. I have thyroiditis and often, autoimmune talaga yun.

Hi, just curious about thyroid. What is the symptoms of hyper and hypo, aside from visible neck enlargement.

[maye2k]

Hello guys good day.. I have the same problem in my thyroid got the findings on fine needle aspiration biopsy and the final diagnosis says; RIGHT THYROID NODULE FNAD: CYTOMORPHOLOGIC FINDINGS CONSISTENT WITH PAPILLARY CARCINOMA. The doctor scheduled me for operation this coming May 4, 2013. I was a bit shocked with the findings since I never experienced pain with my goiter nor hard to swallow every time I eat or drink. My ENT doctor said I'm on my stage 1 (cancerous stage), thus it has to be removed the sooner time. I planned for another check-up just to get a second opinion, but since the procedure was already a biopsy so then I believed the findings was accurate. Does anyone here have the same situation to mine, what are your other remedies if there is? With my surprised I wasn't able to ask my doctor if I could take oral medicines as option before I could resort to operation.

Thank you..

Hi, just curious about thyroid. What is the symptoms of hyper and hypo, aside from visible neck enlargement.

hi sis, usually pag hypo mabilis mapagod at mag palpitate...base from experience yun sis , hypo kasi ako. But yung sa hyper ang alam ko may mga physical effect, like sobrang pumapayat yung iba or nagiging bulgy yung eyes..

[juliaroberts]

Hi sis, papillary thyroid carcinoma is highly curable. Just like any cancer, surgery is still the best option. Afterwards, you will be mainatained on certain  medication such as levothyroxine to suppress any tumor growth.

@ maye2k

my first fnab was papillary carcinoma. my first doctor was a general practitioner. she wanted to have it remove. i decline. then i went to an endocrinologist. had my 2nd fnab there and the result was benign thyroid nodule. i took medication for 6 months only. will probably visit my endo one of these days.

[myjoy]

hi mga sisses! iba naman ang sa akin. normal tsh, t3, t4, ft3, ft4. ultrasound showed solid mass sa right and cystic sa left thyroid. i already had my fnab and thank God, benign naman - colloid nodular goiter. ang problema ko, the doctor wants to operate agad. wala daw gamot na pwede kong inumin kasi i'm neither hyper not hypo. anyone who has insight on this mga sis? tia!

[adhie03]

hi po na diagnosed ako na may hyperthyroidism base on may ultrasound recently because I have a cyst on my left thyroid..pero nagpalaboratory na ako medyo mataas ang T3 ko pero ang T4 at TSH ay normal naman pero pinapaulit ulit sa akin ang laboratory result for most valid kasi dito lang ako nagpalaboratory sa clinic na malapit sa amin. wala pa ako tinitake na kahit anong medicine..hope maging negative ang result ko kapag nagpatest ulit ako...

[leilaniandson_onlineshop]

 I have protruding or bulging eyes due to Graves/Toxic goiter. Do you know any herbal or natural medicine for that? i am taking tapazole for a long time now and I underwent RAI but my eyes became bigger.

[airwaterfire]

nodular goiter di naman kailangang operahan agad as long as di nagbother sayo. mas mahirap kaya na kulang ng organ katawan natin.

[whatswithjuly]

just want to share what i saw from Skinny Fiber Canada page in FB. i don't know if this info will be useful to anyone..
