Mo,

I think sometimes with things like this, we may never know, kinda

like why one has a miscarriage, you can make yourself nuts trying to

figure out why, when there may never be an answer. I've been looking

back and trying to figure my history out also, but it's really

Well yes it does or rather can cause hypoT as can the treatment for Hep C,

interferon. The conversion process of T4 to T3 takes place in the liver and I

suppose this is where an underfunctioning liver could cause problems.

Mo,

I'm certainly no expert, but I would think that Hypo C, as an undiagnosed

chronic infection, is not only more than enough to induce HypoT but the two

combined may well be more than enough to cause your adrenals to burn out!

I don't think any of us will really know because as she said, way too many

things come into play. First I've heard of Hepatitis being a cause.

One of the interesting " concepts " that I've been introduced to since

venturing down what would be considered the alternative medicine path,

is the idea that " autoimmune " disease isn't...in other words, the body

really isn't attacking itself, but rather attacking against a very

real threat which may have gone undetected by drs, or which may have

somehow gotten off track.

This probably isn't new to you, but it was to me. Perhaps that is

what happened it the beginning with the hep C. I'm like you...always

trying to figure it out rationally.

But, as Linn said, it doesn't always make sense, unfortunately.

I figure that my adrenals 'went' first which would have allowed the immune

system to run down encouaring any Joe Virus in the vicinity to come stay for

the long haul.

Now I understand that the conversion process of thyroid hormones would then

be affected and I suppose this applies to anyone whose liver is not in great

shape not just those with a disease manifesting in that area.

Just when the hypoT appeared though I am not too sure and yes it would be

nice to know precisely.......... So much interaction in the body, genetics etc.

etc. etc.
