Throxine and a faulty heating system

[Guest guest]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.
