I bought some organic free range chicken tenders, seasoned it then baked it and used that throughout the week. My salad consisted of organic Romaine lettuce, organic baby spinach, organic kale and organic cilantro. And I was just using a dressing that's low in sugar.
I also started juicing. This morning I drank carrot with apple, pineapple, orange, and added turmeric. I don't juice everyday but I have done it several times.
S-TSH, S-T4 (Free), P-TSH, PT4 (Free) - which were all normal except P-TSH, which was slightly elevated (my rate was 4,51 when the border was 4,20)
My question is: could these results indicate any kind of thyroid-problems? And what does it mean in practice to have a slight elevation in TSH from plasma when i have a normal score in TSH from serum?
but i had arranged with another dr to have my blood hormones taken so i went to her after being on menest about a month during which time i developed a Uti,nurse practioner gave me macrobid which i took but didnt care for,when i went to get results of hormone blood levels that dr did a urinalis and said i was clear,but it showed high protien and a high ph but it shows im drinling plenty fluids,i also had a yeast infectiona and she said a vagiginal infection,gave me cleocin suppsotories which mad
I am just really confused and trying to work through possibility of thyroid cancer versus Hashimotos versus nothing at all. Each test seems to be telling me a different story. Any advice or help anyone can offer would be appreciated. I am due to see an Endo in two days but want to try and have a clearer picture before then.
You should try organic or cage free eggs. Most grocery stores carry them.
Dear river1980, Both Femara (letrozole) and Arimidex (anastrozole) are aromatase inhibitors used in the treatment of hormone receptor positive breast cancer in post menopausal women. Aromatase inhibitors block the enzyme aromatase (found in the body's muscle, skin, breast and fat), which is used to convert androgens (hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogen. In the absence of estrogen, tumors dependent on this hormone for growth will shrink.
TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected by so many things that at best it is only an indicator, not a diagnostic, to be considered along with more important indicators such as symptoms, and also levels of the biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T4 and Free T3. If you were tested beyond TSH, please post results and reference ranges shown on the lab report. Also, please tell us more specifically about symptoms you have.
We turned to an all natural and organic diet. We ate only organic fruits and veggies, hormone-free and grass-fed meats, organic dairy products, and a lot of whole grains. I also started a new exercise routine by going to the gym at least three times a week and walking every day. Five months after we were told that children were impossible, we found out we were pregnant! I just had my daughter on April 20th. I had a normal, healthy pregnancy, and she is absolutely healthy and beautiful.
Ask you MD for those results, If he did not do the Free T3 and Free T4m ask him to do them and request a copy of the results.
My dog seemed healthy when I was feeding him standard store bought dog food. When I changed over to a high quality organic dog food I was simply looking out for him in the long run. It's the same kind of thinking with hormone levels. Im just looking out for him.
Next step is to compare test results for the biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T4 and Free T3, to their reference ranges. Your Free T4 is at 38% of its range. Your Free T3 is at 37.5% of its range. So they are well within range; however, the ranges are far too broad due to the erroneous assumptions used to establish those ranges. Being in range does not assure adequacy.
TSH does not cause symptoms.
Hi, I'm new... and trying to figure out what is wrong with me.
I think it's Hashimotos/Thyroid related, but doctors (as I hear is common) keep telling me No, not yet maybe in a few years...
I'm a 37 year old female, migraines & allergies/sinus stuff have been my only issue up until the last 1-2 years. Gluten-Free for 1.5 years (for migraines, originally).
Fibroids and polyps are almost always benign (~99%) so hysterectomy would be overkill. And hysterectomy causes lifelong harm. I call it the surgery that keeps on giving... problem after problem... even if the ovaries are "preserved."
Intercourse or pelvic exams can cause polyps to bleed. And if they aren't removed at the base, they can recur and cause heavy bleeding.
What were the reasons for the D&C's - as part of the polyp removal or was your lining too thick?
I also went gluten free,dairy free and try to eat as much organic foods as I can. There are foods that cause inflammation like corn. Google anti-inflammatory foods. Stay away from white potatoes and anything that has tomatoe in them or spicy foods.
You may want to ask your primary to test for auto-immune antibodies. Mine came back positive for a couple things.
If I were you, I would request a blood test of foods that you may be allergic or sensitive to.
Basically, it’s best to use as much organic, “free-range” food as you can afford. And if you drink coffee or tea, make sure you only buy the organic versions: Commercially grown coffee and tea are some of the most pesticide and herbicide contaminated crops in the world. Also be sure your drinking water is as pure as possible. Filter out chlorine and other additives, and if possible fluoride, too, although that requires more expensive technology.
