Re: Taking HC & T3 now have thrush

[Guest guest]

Or should I treat this more rigorously with medication?

Do I need to come off HC? (slowly)

Any advice would be great.

I would treat the thrush rigorously, (garlic, nystatin, pro biottics ect) and

stay on the HC.

Have you changed your diet to a non sugar, low carb? How have your temps been

recently, are they low/stable ?

For me im treating the candida to keep it under control, until i raise my

thyroid meds enough to raise my temps and to make my body no longer a breading

ground for candida (low body temps and sluggish digestive system)

Hi Judy, do you have Hashimoto's disease (antibodies to your

thyroid). There is another autoimmune disease that goes along with being

hypothyroid and many, many people suffer with this, though not a lot talk about

it. It is called Lichen Sclerosis. Many people mistake this for vaginal thrush

but it really is much, much worse, and can only be treated with a steroid cream

such as Dermovate. I know, because I have suffered with this and I know lots of

other members who also have had it. It can only be properly diagnosed by the

doctor taking a small piece of tissue from the labia in an outpatients clinic

and sending it to the hospital laboratory. Another problem can be Lichen

Planus, similar to Sclerosis. Read more about this here http://www.lichensclerosus.org/

Don't treat this on your own until you have an official

diagnosis because what you use for candida or thrush will not work on LS or LP.

Hi, I am on week 8 of changing from Erfa to T3

and also taking Cortef.

I have slowly increased T3 and now take 62.5mcg and Cortef 15mg.

I've had a saliva test for adrenals stress and I am very low.

I've been hypothyroid for 17years, 15-16 years on Levothyroxine and the last

five years feeling dreadful.

I have been feeling really great on T3 and HC but have hit a problem.

This week I started with vaginal thrush and also my tongue, mouth and throat

are sore, tongue not furry and no spots in mouth but I do think it could be

thrush.

Hi Shiela is it possible to have this without having Hashimoto's. Also is it

possible to have thrush and lichensclerosus?

Thanks

Yes, it is possible to have Lichen Sclerosis without having

Hashimoto's. In men, it is called ballanitis http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/BXO/laymon1/

temporarily adrenal output too (google it)? i found it effective though

hi Sheila, I don't know if I have Hashimoto's even though I have seen two

endocrinologists I can't remember either taking about this. I do know from a

scan a few years ago that I have very little thyroid left so maybe I do. I'm

going to contact my current endo and ask him.

Thanks for the info on Lichen Sclerosis. Can my GP do the test for this? or if

not who do I need to be referred to?

Hi Steve, My temps are low but raising, still think I need more T3 but taking it

slowly increasing. Also temps through the day are not steady and low but only

started checking this in the last week.

Are you taking HC? How long?

Hi Judy, your GP will need to refer you, probably to the Gynaecologist

in Outpatients Clinic. They gave me a wee local injection (OUCH!) and then

removed a little piece of tissue still (OUCH!) and then sent it off to the lab.

Do you know if you have any little white patches, which is usually a sign of

tissue atrophy. However, if it is found you do suffer with LS, be assured that

the steroid cream Dermovate is wonderful, and it works.

It would be good to know whether you have thyroid antibodies,

because having one autoimmune disorder usually means you are likely to suffer

with other autoimmune disorders.
