Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Having had problems with thyroxine and having to stop taking it for a few days. My BP had lowered last night and this morning so I have started back on a low dose. I have also established that my starage heater has to be faulty, and despite being on a very low setting is very hot, and so have I been getting overheated in my lounge. Could in fact a faulty overheating system affect the thyroxine or even the thyroid gland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 It could, but don't know the details of how to hand. thyroxine is to help your metabolism. In summer, people often need less thyroxine because of the heat - could work the same way with the heater.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 They are servicing my storage heaters at the moment, and having been a purchased council flat I doubt if they have ever been serviced. However on the effect of too much heat and thyroxine, plus already having a fluid problem. The fact that thyroxine is SODIUM and I have mentioned problems with other drugs that are a form of SODIUM. I have a theory as to how heat can affect fluid and sodium. What happens if you have a container of water and sodium or just salt. If you then add heat the water will evaporate leaving the salt behind, so it becomes more concentrated, so apply this to thyroxine plus ho weather, and to make matters worse one could become a BLOCK OF SALT. This situation has also been described in kidney failure which would happen if they did not have Dialysis. I cannot hack the heat and neither have I or could stand going to a hot country, so in turn the heat from GLOBAL WARMING could get even worse, so more thyroid problems perhaps.Sealing our homes with double glazing etc so there are no airholes to can add to this. > > It could, but don't know the details of how to hand. thyroxine is to help > your metabolism.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi, Intolerance to changes in temp is a typical hypo symptom. What is your basal temp? before getting out of bed in the morning? you may be inadequately mdicated.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 My temp taken under the arm was 35.6 this morning but it can drop lower and BP can jump about. I have gone back to 25mcg thyroxine, and I feel better on that dosage than 75mcg. I have just returned to my GP,and he insists as far as tests go that I need 75mcg, and I pointed out that it might be best to go by how I feel, and although partially agreeing, he said he could not make me go back to the high dose, but I did say that I would increase it if I did feel tired. I also feel a lot is involved on what you do and stress. I have had to go through with divorce and had a lot do with renovating this flat handling paint, plaster doing carpentary. I also caught infection at the POLYCLINIC at the same time as they increased the thyroxine. He said he would do more tests in 2 months. I also mentioned to him about other factors involved in thyroid problems plus the fact that there are tests not done by the NHS, and all I got back was that it would be a waste of money, and it would if the NHS will not go by tests done privatley. Private insurance will not even cover existing problems, so how can one fund treatment privatley. All my heaters have been serviced and one is still overheating, so it could be the thermostat that is faulty. To rule myself out I put two heaters at the same setting and the one in question gets so hot you have to careful not to burn yourself on it. I can see that I will have a problem here in the summer as the sun will beat in here so I am going to have a ceiling fan with the light and something to add moisture so its not too dry. I took the same drcision with TAMOXIFEN and that made me feel rough in turn causing a huge polyp and thickening of the womb, and I decided to take a risk with cancer returning than go on feeling as I did, and that was in 2000. I have had no return of cancer. From now on I am taking how I feel into more consideration than results of tests. I also have to view how bad my health became on PIMOZIDE plus all the others. I also feel the former Husbands health played a part in mine which I am not having to contend with now. > > > Hi, > Intolerance to changes in temp is a typical hypo symptom.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hi, That is a very low temp indicative of either low thyroid ( which you know about) or low adrenals. Have a look in the files for the symptoms list and see how you score. Sadly the NHs is not good at treating thyroxine resistand issues. Low adrenals could be the reason that you can't tolerate sufficient T4. Can you not siwtch off the probeem heater individually- it must be costing a lot to run in that condition. > thyroid treatment > From: kranger1@...> Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 18:09:10 +0000> Subject: Re: Throxine and a faulty heating system> > My temp taken under the arm was 35.6 this morning but it can drop lower and BP can jump about.
