Avatar m tn My ultrasound today showed and inflammation of the left side of my thyroid. The nurse from the doctor' s office told me it explained the hyperthyroidism blood work. They are trying to get me into endocrinologist sooner. They could tell me nothing else. Has anyone had this problem?
Avatar f tn when i asked dr told this is stomach inflammation. what is stomach inflammation? how does that come? i am taking medicine for thyroid daily . eltroxin 100. is it becoz of that? or i used to take anti hisatmin anti inflammatory tablets now and then for allergic sneezng and my radiating pain in hand and leg.. is it due to that? i am 34.5 yrs old and i have a baby. 3.5 yrs old. i and my husband was plannig for another baby and we were plannig to conceive this month. then this inflammation came.
Avatar f tn What is the likely cause of hyperthyroidism if there is no inflammation? My dr thinks I have postpartum thyroiditis but I think that would require inflammation. Also in Grave's Disease the thyroid is inflamed. Does anyone have any clue why I don't have inflammation or is there a common reason for hyperthyroidism where inflammation is not necessary for a diagnosis?
Avatar m tn i am 24 years old. i have been hypo since i was 8. my tsh level have been within range for many year now.for my own piece of mind i get them checked every 6 months. i was feeling pretty good up until 2 year sago when my panic attacks started happening. at first i thought it was the stressful situation i was living in so i quickly rearranged my life and reduced my stress. the panic attacks got better. so i thought...... now i get panic attacks at random and there seems to be no real connection.
Avatar n tn Heterogeneity of the thyroid tissue as opposed to homogeneity can sometimes indicate thyroiditis or inflammation of the thyroid, usually caused by autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto's or Graves disease. Your ultrasound indicates mild heterogeneity, so I wouldn't assume you have inflammation until you hear more from your doctor.
1157646 tn?1343967128 At a routine ultrasound yesterday we discovered the inflammation of my thyroid has re-appeared (I have autoimmune thyroid issues) and so doc is thinking my thyroid inflammation is the answer...bloods are being re-done in 2 weeks along with a thyroid scan to see how the inflammation is going. Thanks for replying!!
Avatar f tn So Endo did an ultra sound of my throat found nothing, the office called today with blood test and said i showed i had some inflammation of my thyroid but it is no big deal and should go away and they sent me on my way. This is very frustrating!!! Due to this inflammation I cannot talk for long periods of time without it hurting, I cannot sing without hurting, I sometimes have breathing issues.
Avatar f tn I'm no expert in imaging, but that appears to be a pretty "standard" result for someone with a slight inflammation of the thyroid. The enlargement of the thyroid (slight) and the small nodules are indicative of mild inflammation. Nodules are very common, even in people without thyroid disease. Have you had any other thyroid tests? Blood work? If so, please post those with the reference ranges from your own lab report. Do you have symptoms?
Avatar f tn Most hypoalbuminemia is caused by acute and chronic inflammation... It depends on the cause of your low thyroid as to whether that can be the cause or not... Are you taking replacement thyroid hormones to correct your hypothyroidism? If so, what medication are you taking, what dosage and how long have you been on it? What are your actual thyroid hormone levels, with reference ranges? Do you know if you have Hashimoto's?
Avatar m tn These are very small nodules that about half of people would have on ultrasound. This is most often benign and does not need biopsy - only repeat ultrasound in 6-12 months to confirm stability. The description is typical for Hashimoto's thyroiditis -- inflammation of the thyroid that may cause hypothyroidism. I-123 (nuclear scanning) is not needed to test your thyroid in situations like this.
Avatar f tn So I during a screening, I came up with a TSH result of 0.07, when the normal range is 0.27-4.2. My T3 & T4 were normal. I was then referred to the Endocrinologist. Two weeks later I found I had Cellulitis, and needed immediate antibiotics via IV. Then I was sent home with motrin 800, 3 times a day, and 10 days worth of antibiotics, which I had since finished. The day after I finished my antibiotics, I was retested by the endocrinologist and the TSH is now .
Avatar f tn In some cases an inflammation involving not entire thyroid may appear as nodule on sonogram.
Avatar f tn Can someone have thyroid nodules and have completely normal thyroid function and blood tests? Or do you HAVE to have Hashimoto's Disease to have nodules and some inflammation?
Avatar f tn Often, once thyroid hormone levels are where you need them to be, the swelling/inflammation will go away. What are your actual thyroid hormone (Free T4 and Free T3) levels with reference ranges? NatureThroid is dosed in mg vs mcg. Do you mean you're on 80 mg NatureThroid? Do you take your medication all at once or do you split the dosage into 2 or more doses throughout the day?
Avatar m tn In Autoimmune thyroid , the thyroid is inflamed from the antibodies and you are at risk for more body inflammation in other areas. The thyroid level of inflammation gets re-disturbed with other hormone imbalances as it can no longer self adjust. The hormone output and free T levels are now regulated by the hormone replacement meds. Like a car that no longer has an adjustable gas pedal for hills, its now one speed.
Avatar f tn Autoimmune thyroid disease. Maybe.
Avatar n tn I would be inclined to go to a university based ENT specialist (particularly one with a strong thyroid cancer program) and have another evaluation. This is not common with thyroid cancer, but does happen.
659608 tn?1318289366 You could be experiencing pain and swelling in your thyroid, which is called "goiter". It's just an inflammation of the thyroid. The thyroid is a little, butterfly shaped gland, just below the Adam's apple. It consists of two lobes, one on either side of the throat and an isthmus that connects the two in the middle. Thyroiditis is inflammation of the thyroid, but there are several kinds of thyroiditis. Some are temporary, and some are permanent.
1323747 tn?1364806882 It's possible that you have inflammation or nodules on your thyroid that are making your throat feel full. I had that really bad at one time; still get it some, now and then. Sometimes the Hashi's antibodies can "flare", causing inflammation which could leave you with the full feeling -- that's what mine does. I would recommend that you ask for a thyroid ultra sound.
