THYROID ISSUES PART II

[krabby_patty]

Looks like malaki talaga ang chance na ma hypo pag nagpa surgery or radioactive iodine therapy I think I have no choice but to continue my meds nalang plus diet and exercise. Sis @iam.Arianna I am trying to look for hyperthyroid diet plans in the internet. How much weight have you list since you started getting hyper? Iniisip ko rin magpatingin sa nutritionist for the same concern, pero uunahin ko muna third opinion ng endo. Blood test again  After that explore ko naman acupuncture.

Just found out yesterday that all the women in my family sa mother's side nagka goiter. My lola, titas and my mom had it. Tapos hormonal imbalance din for my sisters and myself.

Hi mga sis, is there a way to reverse yung bulging eyes? this is my problem kasi nakakaconscious! haaay.. i gained weight, about 3 yrs na ata. hindi pa ako nakabalik sa dating timbang ko, i think mahirap lang talaga na bumalik sa dati because of the hormones itself? tapos, ang hirap pag nagpapalpitate. i just stay away sa caffeine when it happens.

Yes sis @cheezcake dapat hyper = weight loss but since I am taking antithyroid medication (methimazole) naging hypo naman kaya I am gaining weight.

Has anyone here experienced stopping medication tapos nag normalize nalang ang thyroid regulation mag isa through diet and exercise? I am really hoping this is possible.

ako sis. almost a year din akong nag-stop ng meds for hypo. then di din ako nagpapa-checkup. but i was shocked when i had my hormones checked this year, normal ang result. akala ko nga messed up na ang hormones ko kasi i wasn't taking any meds tsaka i was experiencing symptoms of hypo. pero i had my hormones checked twice, and all three are within range.

ang ginawa ko lang is mag-try ng kung ano-anong diet. i have an autoimmune condition and mga diet for autoimmunity ang sinubukan ko. i'm not sure if yung yung reason kung bakit nag-normal ang hormones. wala naman akong ibang supplement na tinake.

pag nagpa-RAI therapy ka, hypo talaga sis ang result kasi eventually masisira na ang thyroid gland mo and you won't be able to produce thyroid hormones on your own kaya lifetime gamutan na yon. pero sabi nila hypo is easier to manage than hyper. when i was in hyper phase before, hirap din ako. pero parehong mahirap, mapa-hypo or hyper.

@shinta thanks sis for sharing your experience. Malapit na ako mag give up until I read your post You are very lucky. Did you just suddenly stop taking your meds or did you consult with a doctor muna? I am planning to minimize my dosage (from 20mg to 10mg) after I finish my current round of meds. Hindi ka naman nahirapan after going cold turkey? I'm worried kasi of all the symptoms coming back full force.

[shinta]

^i just stopped taking my med sis, tinamad na kasi akong uminom ng gamot. But I won't recommend doing it without permission from your endo. Baka depende din kasi sa condition. Naka 1 year din akong nagtake ng levothyroxine. Last dosage ko was 25 mcg before I stopped. Andun pa din yung symptoms, there were months when I thought they were getting worse. Kaya surprise din ako na normal hormones ko.

Maybe my antibodies are no longer elevated kaya umayos ang thyroid ko. My new endo didn't give me request for anti-tpo so di ko din sure. But if that's the case, maybe diet had something to do with it nga.

Regarding sa diet, you have to determine first what's causing your condition to find what's suitable for you. Eating less processed foods and more organic will help too.

Hello again! Mga ka-GT, pwede ba ko mag painjectable pills kahit may hyperthyroidism ako? Hindi daw kaya bawal? Need ko na kase magpa injectable dahil hindi na ko pwede mabuntis ulit ayoko na need ko na mag back to work para mapagamot ko na itong sakit ko.. and nanganak na rin ako ng dalawang magkasunod (May 2013 at May 2014 nanganak ako). Please sana may sumagot po.. sino po sainyo dito may hyperthyroidism pero nagpapa-inject? Thanks po!

[airwaterfire]

Please ask sa Endo mo and sa OB as well regarding sa condition at plano mo.
Para segurado.

Plan ko nga bumalik sa doctor/endo ko dahil balak na namin mag baby ulit baka matrigger na naman hormones ko.

Hi! Ako, before nagtetake pa ko ng thyrax at eltroxin(tama ba spelling) depende kung hypo or hyper yung goiter ko then nung nagstart ako kumain ng fresh seaweeds nagnormal na yung tsh, ft3 at ft4. Ngayon, mahigit 2 years na ko hindi nagtetake ng gamot, minomonitor nalang yung blood ko. 8 months pregnant ako ngayon at kumakain parin ng seaweeds, minomonitor nalang yung ft4 at tsh ko. Actually nagulat yung doctor ko(Dra Gia Wassmer, Makati Med) bigla naging normal yung blood ko.. Hindi ako hypo at hyper pero meron akong goiter at hindi nya ako inaadvice na mag opera kasi normal naman daw results ko.choice ko nalang kung gusto ko ipatanggal yung goiter ko. Have a nice day!

Hi mga Sis  May Thyroid problem din po ako, nadiagnose sya nung doctor na friend ng papa ko, sabi nya parang kakaiba daw yung neck ko. So i went to the Surgeon na nag-aalaga ng bukol ko sa breast binigyan nya ko ng request for ultrasound. Then sa ultrasound last Jan 2014 may nakitang bukol sa right thyroid ko. Natakot ako na baka operahan ako wala pa ko savings and wala talaga ko money for the operation. Until now hindi pa ko nagpapa-check up. I'm planning palang next week, good thing may nakita kong endo malapit dito sa Taytay area. Sa wednesday pa clinic nya and ito na naman ako sa fears ko na baka kung anung ipagawang mga test sakin wala pa naman akong money. My father just got his coronary angioplasty at St. Lukes apparently super nasaid yung savings ng family namin dahil sa heart condition ng father ko. Ayaw ko na sana magpabigat pa sa parents ko lalo na at may sakit pa father ko nag aaral pati ko I was hoping na sana hindi malala yung bukol ko sa thyroid at kaya pa magawan ng paraan na hindi aabot sa point na ooperahan ako.

sis, similar case tayo.  my mom and an uncle (father side) both had goiter.  tapos kaming lahat magkakapatid (3 girls, 1 boy) hyperthyroid, then nag RAI, and now all of us are hypo.  sabi ng endo namin, pwede kami pang case study!

Hello mga sis
new member lang po ako dito ..
share ko lang nagka hyper thyrodism kasi ako 2 years ago
mukhang nwala din naman sya ..
ngayon kasi im taking diane35 ..wala bang negative effect yun ?

Thanks

[krabby_patty]

@thesweetestgirl08 sis, best to consult with an endo regarding your thyroid problem. They will have to run blood tests para malaman kung ok na talaga hormones mo or not. Some endos prescribe pills but not all. Ako I take methimazole (anti-thyroid)

[thesweetestgirl08]

Hi krabby
I also took meti,azole for a year ata ..kaso ngayon kasi
hindi na ko nakakramdam ng kahit na anong sign ng hyper thyrodism ko .
tapos wala na rin yung medyo bukol ko sa leeg ..
pero hindi na ko nag pa consult uli after nun ..

Godbless

pero sabi nila hypo is easier to manage than hyper. when i was in hyper phase before, hirap din ako. pero parehong mahirap, mapa-hypo or hyper.

opo parehong mahirap dati akong hyper ngayon hypo na daming side effects din pag hypo haay

[IamDindin]

^In my case mas nahirapan ako nung hyper ako, especially kapag nag pa palpitate ako.  So 2 pa yung tine take ko na gamot, isa for hyper and isa for the heart.   Pati yung katawan ko bagsak, bilis din mapagod at hingal lagi.  Now na hypo ako, wala naman akong daing, normal lang parang walang thyroid problem. 

[krabby_patty]

^ same here! Ang hirap ng hyper. Grabe yung tremors. Kahit mag climb lang ng 2 flights of stairs non parang hirap ako. My levels are still fluctuating now but happy that I've moved on from being hyper. Di rin ako maka exercise non dahil sa hingal. People noticed then na mukhang stressed and "pumapayat" daw ako but not in a nice way.

[IamDindin]

^Isa pa nga yung tremors.  Yung pagpayat nga parang payat ng may sakit.  As in pag nakikita ko kung picture ko nun, hindi ako nagagandahan kahit payat ako. LOL
