Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Welcome ... We're eager for more info on low carbing... I do limited low carbing.. more of a balance protein and carb thing.. I have learned to identify and avoid/control carb triggers.. with my finances the way that they are and carb foods being the cheapest.. going seriously low carb isn't an option for me now.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 they have found a small nodule, small on the right side of my thyroid. The blood tests are showing that I am in the "normal" range. However, I may have been hyper for years and this term "normal" is not enough for me to feel ok. I have been scheduled for an iodine test next week - I have to go in and take a pill one day and then have some nuclear scanning the next day. This type of nodule can be cancerous. The doctor said after these test results, he can start medicating to treat hypothyroidism - since I have all the symptoms except cold intolerance - I am hot. My cholesterol is high 250. And my blood pressure is being treated. Again, this normal is not working for me. I am so swolen, loosing hair, and so damn tired and confused - I look bad. He did treat me with fluid pills and potassium pills today till the test to get some of this solid feeling under mys skin gone. I am new. And just starting this struggle. Any advice appeciated. AAHHH! I really hate these mood swings I get from having this thyroid problem...I mean, most of the time I'm okay but something small will trigger it then I will go through 3-4 days of being depressed as hell.It drives me nuts! :(Other then medication, does anyone have anything they do or take to help their mood swings? Just curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hopefully, depending on what they find on your scan, the doc will begin to try to suppress your TSH to 0 to try to shrink the nodules (if they're noncancerous). If they're cancerous, or one is cancerous, they will throw the option out to you to have part of/all of your thyroid removed. If you and the doc opt for suppression of TSH (if no cancer), it takes time and observation to determine if the nodules have shrunk. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is what stimulates your thyroid to make T3 and T4. When the thyroid is overstimulated on a regular basis and over time, this is sometimes when these nodules form. That's why the idea of shrinking them with total suppression. I hope that you have a wise thyroid doc. About the hot/cold thing: I too, was very hot in the beginning, when first diagnosed hypo, after a long bout with hyper, but, later one, is when I got the cold intolerance, several yrs down the road. I don't know what the explanation for this is, other than the fact that I was always in extreme estrogen overproduction w/no progesterone to balance it out, during those yrs. Now, I doubt if I have much estrogen left at all! Tx Re: New they have found a small nodule, small on the right side of my thyroid. The blood tests are showing that I am in the "normal" range.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Jan, Welcome to our group. Some of us have been through it and other are still going through it. We stay to help new people through it because it was so hard for us. You will soon see a list of all the information that goes out to new comers. Don't try and read it all at once. There is lots of info we have collected along the way. And most of us have heard the same thing about our LOs having Alzheimers only to get a real diagnosis later or to find one ourself. It is all dementia. And it helps to know if it is LBD because the meds become an issue. That and sleep time sometimes can become problematic. Also, they seem much more aware of what is happening to them. They can often go in and out of their sypmtoms. We call it " showtime " because they can do real well and make it look like we don't know what we are talking about if we say they are having problems. I will see if I can find the newcomers list and post it to the group. usually does that but she is long time asleep. Stay with us and ask away. Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine. new hello, im new here. my name is jan. my dad was diagnosed with LBD about 2 to 3 years ago. we actually didnt know this till yesterday (long story). we had thought he had parkinsons and alzheimers.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Dear Jan, The people in this group have been a Godsend. They are kind and caring, and provide a wealth of information - especially when you need it!!!! I felt very alone when trying to deal with my Mom's LBD. My Mom is about 8 years int LBD - she's 74 years old, and trying to hold her own. My aunt is the primary caregiver, but we go up and help out on weekends, help out with doctor visits, etc. We are trying to keep her at home - that is what she (and my aunt) both want. Mom lives in the Bronx (New York). A warm welcome to the group that nobody should have to belong to..... maybe one day there will be a cure..........

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 im so sorry. today my dad said he knows all of his kids and grandchildren, but he cant remember who fits with who. mn dad is a doctor, and was an extremely talented man in many fields, including photography, wood work, and he could converse with ANYONE on ANY topic. it is devastating to see him like this. the forgetting things has been for years, but this sudden deterioration has left me absolutely traumatised. today he told me he didn't know who i was married to. and he didn't know the difference between me and my sister. i am so - i dunno what jan -- In LBDcaregivers , Helene G M wrote: > > > Dear Jan, > I used to be scared... now I'm just numb - I guess I expect things to happen.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Welcome, Janice! I'm sorry to read about your dad. How old is him? You are in for a rough journey in Lewyville, like all of us know, but everybody here will support and encourage you; and you'll get a lot of information, everything you need to know about LBD. Most of us have walked the same road with our LO, and it's not an easy one. Some, like me, have already had to say good-bye. Write whenever you feel the need of support or love or information, or just virtual shoulders to cry on. You'll find it here. God bless you. A warm welcome hug, Raquel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
