Re: Clinic Hypothyroid Summary

[Guest guest]

Intersting.. I took a look. Thing that baffles me is the thing about

not being able to get a fever. My friend in Colorado, before she was

diagnosed with hypo, got flu every single year without fail and had

101*F temps with those. But she was WAY messed up thyroid-wise and

her labs were all out of whack (no sub-clinical there). She didn't

know her thyroid was acting up and causing her problems. She found

out accidentally because she went to the health department about

seeing about getting an allergy script. They had a health fair going

on and they told her she could get a whole blood workup for little of

nothing. So she did. They called her back when the results came in

and gave her the news. But she said she got fevers with flu and

virus.

Man. Nothing's ever " exact " with thyroid problems, is it? Probably

why the darn stuff is so difficult to diagnose! But thanks for the

link!!

I get fevers. I get high fevers. The last time I had the flu it was 104. I

get bad fevers. My brother, who is not hypo, never gets a fever. He could

have a gaping infection and not get a fever. Me, my body goes nuts and

increases my heat like crazy to kill that virus. So, does it have anything

to do with being hypo? I doubt it. Its your system and your immune system at

work...I would say it is adrenal and thymus in nature. while thyroid does

have some immune action, and it does control reg body temp, something else

kicks in when that virus invades, and your body is going to do its own

thing. Just my opinion, but I get fevers real easy.

Hmmnn. I was thinking about Hashi's. If it's the body attacking the

thyroid gland, wouldn't it be logical to expect fever or an elevated

temp with this condition? If the body's creating antibodies to fight

off an infection, seems to me that one would expect fever.

Just my thoughts. Anything to do with human anatomy and physiology

completely fascinates me (was supposed to have been going to

University for Health Science-related degree after receiving my

associates..but ended up getting divorced instead).

I have been tested for several autoimmune diseases, including Hashi's and

Graves. Also Sarcoidosis and Lupus. Nope. Its just the way my body works. I

have always gotten high fevers when sick since I was a kid. So bad, my body

shakes...its crazy.

I do too, and have been getting rashes lately too with those high fevers.

Exsqueeeze me, but if brother has high cholesterol he may be hypo.

I am almost always cold. The only time I am hot is after I wake up and it

lasts awhile. It doesn't matter if it is from sleeping all night or if I take a

nap, I wake up burning up. But during the day, I am freezing and turn the

heat up to 80 when hubby isn't home.

I know I fall in the gray area with hypothyroidism, but I have a lot of

trouble regulating my body temperature. I'll be freezing cold one

second and then the next I'm overheating. I cannot handle extreme

temperatures at all, particularly heat. And I do sweat (although for

years I didn't). I can't seem to maintain a comfortable temp for very

long. I don't know if this is necessarily a thyroid related problem or

something else (I'm too young for menopause, so that's out of the

question), but I am aware that a few other hypo people I've spoken with

have experienced this same thing. Also, I have more anxiety related

problems than depression, but depression is a " classic " symptom of hypo

whereas anxiety is a " classic " symptom of hyper. So, no, nothing is

really cut and dried with thyroid issues. Everyone seems to have a

unique reaction to their disease that might conflict with accepted

medical diagnostic standards. Sorta sucks, don't it?

Sounds very familiar, . Before we moved here to Florida, and

even after, I'd ask the gym owners WHY I didn't sweat. I didn't

think it was a problem, but I felt WEIRD because some of the

friendlier people there would say, " You aint working hard if you're

not sweating!! " But I was busting my butt in that gym! I felt like

a freak. I go from not sweating to sweating, too. I can usually get

a good sweat if there's NO air conditioning vent (or the gym has the

thermostat up) and my heart rate is REALLY up. But lifting weights..

I don't break a sweat AT ALL.

Yes, it majorly sucks. My symptomology was SO unique that I went 17

years being MISERABLE with NOT ONE DOC suspecting my thyroid or the

T4 I was on. But if those moron-docs had been even slightly on their

toes instead of being MOO-COW-docs, they might have made an educated

guess!

Sounds a lot like me, I even was diagnosed hyper and had a partial

thyroidectomy (ridiculous) I think adrenal support plus thyroid will help you.

If I take less than 90mg of Armour, the first symptom I get is anxiety.
