Avatar f tn Well there are three separate issues with the thyroid. Hormones, Goiter and Lumps. Auto-immune thyroid disease can results in low (or high) thyroid hormones and cause the thyroid to enlarge. Auto-immune disease (Hashimoto's or Graves) is diagnosed via blood tests, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), T4/T3 (Actual thyroid hormones), and thyroid antibodies. If you haven't had these done, you should have them done. Your ENT didn't find any lumps but thinks your thyroid is large.
Avatar m tn Can anyone tell me what causes me to out of the blue once in a while, I get a hot feeling all over, and it is scary, like I think it is is a stroke, but a few minutes later, I am ok again, but scared that it was a bad sign that something is wrong. I asked my doc over the phone after describing the symptoms what it was, only to be told She did not know. Is there anyone here that have had this happen to them? How do I treat it if possible?
Avatar f tn Free T3 and Free T4 were not done - it would say so... In my own case I feel tons better when TSH is on the low end of the scale and the thyroid tests are on the higher ends... My doc does not even run the uptake or index test so I don't know anything about them so I cannot comment on them maybe Horsey knows... Only primary people have tans (or people odd like me with both primary and secondary). If your sodium is like that... I would find it kinda odd that you have an adrenal issue.
Avatar f tn After seeing my boyfriend last night and talking about why I haven't heard from him the last few days, he told me he's been "in a funk" and feeling kind of low. His parents have been separated for the last year and are now going through with a full divorce. His father had a talk with him about the divorce a couple days ago and as a result he's concerned his mother won't receive any benefits when the split becomes final.
Avatar m tn The high risk kind is what can lead to cervical cancer, and men can have that and have no signs or symptoms. The low risk kind is what gives you genital warts, and you can also have that and show no symptoms. If you do get symptoms of hpv, they can show within a month or two, or take years to show. About 80% will have HPV in their lifetimes, though most won't know it. Herpes sores typically show up within 2-20 days, but not always.

Avatar f tn TSH is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. This number changes in inverse to the amount of Thyroid hormone in your system, so a low TSH level would mean that you have increased levels of Thyroid Hormone. TSH has a pretty broad range, so it is best if you have a history of blood levels so that you can see what has been normal for you in the past. A lower TSH could be normal for you. I am not a Dr.
Avatar m tn 1 T3 Uptake 35 Testosterone Total 300 LC/MS/MS I also have a ptosis in both of my eyes and even though the Armour Thyroid is helping it , the ptosis seems to migrate from one eye to the other, before my left eye was very droppy and stopped retracting, now since I've been on the medications the ptosis is slightly clearing within the left and moving over to the right.

Avatar n tn Having had a hysterectomy leaves one vulnerable to the build-up of toxic iron in the body...as iron builds in the body it is stored in joints, tissues and organs. Many of the symptoms you describe can be associated with iron overload, which can be caused by many factors, but is usually genetic. 1 in 9 people of European descent are carriers of a mutated gene responsible for iron absorption. 1 in 200-250 people will develop iron overload.

Avatar f tn Today, my mom (56) was telling me her white blood cell count was low, and they were testing her for possible reasons for why that might be. She said she's getting tested for HIV. In 1996, she ran into an old boyfriend she hadn't been with/seen in years, and he told her that he was HIV positive. He said he didn't know how long he'd had it, and she needed to get tested. The test came back negative.

Avatar n tn HI, Male factor infertility or low sperm counts are difficult to treat. Hence if there is problem in conceiving the counts should be repeated. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn insufficient T3 effect in tissue throughout the body due to inadequate supply of, or response to, thyroid hormone". TISSUE T3 EFFECT determines your thyroid status. TSH has only a weak correlation with FT4 and FT3, and a negligible correlation with TISSUE T3 EFFECT. So, except at extreme levels, TSH should not be used as the primary diagnostic for hypothyroidism.
Avatar m tn Hypothyroidism is a cause of low testosterone in men. High estrogen in men usually correspond to low testosterone. Also, high stress (cortisol) is associated with low testosterone.
Avatar n tn I posted earlier some numbers but then realized that the other "stuff" on the sheet was also thyroid related. So here is what the paper says and I can't make heads of tails of it. Thyroglobulin Antibodies <20 Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies <10 DHEA sulfate 157 FSH 4.0 LH 5.6 T-4, Free 0.9 Testosterone, Total 71 TSH, 3rd generation 4.
8101930 tn?1420001456 I'm sorry girl. The good news is this is a fixable problem and you'll both be happy and healthy. Can u schedule an apt to meet with your doctor and go over labs in person so u can discuss your previous lab work and symptoms too? Insomnia and hair breaking are signs of too much thyroid hormone. So it's possible that the dose of your medication last time was too high. It was overcorrected, if you will. If on the correct dose, those symptoms should disappear.
Avatar m tn Today I went to see a neurologist today, and hopefully try to get him to get an MRI of my pituitary gland and thyroid, but he only prescribed some Imitrex (100mg), Propranolol (20mg), tramadol (50mg), and ibuprofen (800mg) for migraine headaches, I get them on and off, sometimes they are pretty bad but anyway that was all, and he didn’t see any other reason to have an MRI done.
Avatar f tn they are the sorts of sensations that people experience when they become hyper-vigilant looking for signs of an infection. Sometimes after an exposure that, in retrospect, one wishes they had not had, persons tend to examine themselves and be far more attuned to genital sensations than in periods when they are not concerned. This in turn leads to noticing what turn out to be normal sensations that might have been not noticed or ignored at other times.
Avatar f tn Thyroid is not likely to be the root cause of all this, but with the other autoimmune type issues, you should be tested for thyroid problems.
