So at your age, it very well could be a thyroid issue. I had similar things when my thyroid was functioning slowly called hypothyroidism. I also naturally produced too much estrogen. You can take a simple blood test for that. Go t a new doctor. They should do some blood work. At the very least, this may not be a match in birth control pill for you. But it all sounds hormone related with regards to either a thyroid issues (which impacts hormones) or hormone balance.
So I was diagnosed when I was 17 with premature ovarian failure and ADD. My FSH levels are pretty high in the 80s-90s. I have osteoporosis and I'm 19 years old right now. my TSH level is 1.12 but I'm having all the thyroid problems symptoms.
A consensus exists for early treatment of such patients with thyroxine if anti thyroid peroxidase antibodies are present in the serum, because the risk of overt thyroid failure in future years is high, and it makes sense to anticipate morbidity rather than risk loss of follow up."

No-one can really say what cause chronic heart failure...it could be due to thyroid, it could be hereditary and could be from a lot of other conditions.
But being aware of this early...gives you a head start in life to prevent it.
My Father was diagnosed with Cardiovascular Disease (as was 6 of his brothers who have all died now) . I have checks done but this doesnt mean I will or will not get it.
Its just something that has to be watched for and checked.
Your diet is unlikely to cause high TSH at the levels that you have. Likely due to real thyroid failure. However, it is important to minimise soy foods that can have a thyroid suppressing effect. Veges like brocoli, cabbage etc. are very healthy and in normal portion size should have no problem.
2. You will need thyroid meds. It is not likely that your thyroid would resume function again.
3. Failure to treat would put you at risk of hypothyroid coma....
After tons of blood work (repeated twice), an ekg, and thorough examination, he diagnosed me with an unidentified endocrine problem causing poly glandular failure. I was referred to my endocrinologist that treats my hypothyroidism. He repeated the blood tests (four times) and said that my thyroid meds needed adjusting and I had prolactinemia. I had the prolactinemia previously. He had taken me off the Dostinex about four months earlier.
I visited my doctor in June, and he ordered a thyroid test. My results were completely normal. I shrugged everything off to stress and went on with my life. Unfortunately, the hot flashes became worse. I went to my doctor again two months ago, and he had my FSH, LH, estradiol, and progesterone levels tested, as he said there was a small chance that I could be experiencing premature ovarian failure. He said the results were normal.
Uses litter box, but still urinating frequently and drinks fair amount of water. Is there a way to tell if she has kidney disease/failure and not pyelonephritis without doing an ultrasound?
.42 , high CRP: 68.80 , Anti Thyroid Peroxidase Antibio: 185.0 , Anti thyroglobulin antibody: 3,000 .
Two questions: One what brought this on? Two: What recommendations for treatment?
Renal failure may be either chronic or acute. Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is a progressive, irreversible deterioration of kidney function. Because cats hide their illnesses and the very early signs of CRF are subtle, this disease may only be recognized when the patient reaches the 70% deterioration level and more dramatic symptoms are observable. The seemingly sudden onset may appear to be an acute condition but is most often a crisis point of CRF.
no known heart attacks, but had chest pain on/off all year d/t thyroid problems(total thyroidectomy 5 yrs ago)-cannot get a good dose of synthroid, many times had chest pain, sob, arrhythmias, palpitations, racing hr 120-140, went to ER several times, EKG would show ST, with unspecific ST abnormality (ST depression), enzymes would be negative, nothing outrageous on cxr. Thyroid function studies would always be off the chart-tsh completely out of ranch either hypo or hyper....
Thankyou for all replies.
Synthyroid is a thyroid replacement drug which provides the body with only the T4 form, where as Armour thyroid supplies with both T3 and T4 forms of thyroid. Side effects are usually associated with over dosage and they are vomiting, convulsions, coma, heart failure, hypoglycemia etc.
Discuss with your physician regarding this and follow her advise.
Best.
Although a definition of failure as a thyroid cyst volume of 1 ml seems rigorous, it is based on clinical grounds. In most published studies on PEI in thyroid cysts, a success rate is defined as near disappearance or marked (>50%) size reduction of the cystic lesion. In our experience, most cystic nodules vary in size, and although size reduction is often seen during follow-up of cysts primarily evacuated, they tend to increase gradually given enough time.
