Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I have suffered from them all my life. It got worse the worse my thyroid situation got. My experience was that after being on Armour for a while(about 4-5 months), my bladder problems all went away. Also, another helpful thing was to get off of wheat. I was also a celiac or basically, I had leaky gut, which I think increased the toxins my bladder and kidneys had to remove. Now, I am so normal and healthy with the bladder it's sickening. Another potential cause of bladder problems is being on some type of synthetic progesterone, such as in the pill or HRT. My experience was that my hormone status had a big impact on my bladder.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Thank you so much for your reply. My bladder infection has got worse and worse as the thyroid has probably got worse and worse. i'm constantly having to get antibiotics for it (indeed i am going to the doc tonight as i can't live with it at the mo). re. wheat that is interesting!! but i don't think i am a celiac. I hope it all goes away for me too when the thyroid gets right. I'm currently on 50mcg of synthroid but i don't think that is enough as none of my thyroid symptoms have gone at all. --- lkwetter wrote: --------------------------------- I have suffered from them all my life.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Be aware that where autoimmune thyroid disease exists, we are more likely to have other autoimmune diseases. Celiac is autoimmune disease also. Tx Re: Re: Bladder problems! > Thank you so much for your reply.

Celiac is autoimmune disease also. > > This is a very important point. There is a high correlation between celiac disease and thyroid disease development. A person may not have any overt symptoms of celiac disease. It is estimated by one newer study that 1 person in 133 have it. Most are unaware. My only symptom was anemia. Also, hypothyroid people commonly suffer from leaky gut. This is because low thyroid causes low digestive enzyme production and low digestive system acitid production. Digestive enzymes and stomach acids play an essential role in protecting the gut from pathogens and other damaging fungal and bacterial infections. While hypo I had become infected with a very nasty parasite that most healthy people can fight off. Leaky gut allows many large proteins and toxins into the blood stream. This puts a big burden on the liver, immune system, and kidneys because they have to try and eliminate them. With respect to Synthroid; synthroid may not ever resolve all symptoms. I personally think it won't for the vast majority of people. I felt terrible on Synthroid. Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I never did well on any of the synthetic T4s, and I only started the Armour around 6 months ago. The muscle pain and some of the other symptoms have diminished, but I'm still left with that eery foggy tiredness. I, too, just found out that I am now anemic, but could have been already, it just may not have shown up in the blood until now. I ran all the blood counts back at the end of September last year, and had had red and white blood counts, routinely, all my life, but as of March 6th this yr, it has now shown up in my blood work as anisocytosis and macrocytosis. This has got to be connected with either my B12, Folate, or both. I have just received my papers from HealthCheck to get the B12 checked out for the first time ever in my life. I am waiting to get the red cell folate and the serum folate done the next money around, but I chose the B12 first because it can have the more dire rapid consequences, especially since it has now shown up in the blood. Then again, it could have been lab error, or maybe they let the sample sit too long, who knows, but I decided to go ahead and do it because of the serious implications of a B12 shortage. I am seriously hoping that it is NOT gastric antibodies doing this, or we're talking Pernicious Anemia here, but I know that I consume a lot of red meat and all the things that contain the larger amts of B12, so it would not fit with me to simply be deprived of it, foodwise. I'm thinking that if it is the B12, then we're talking intrinsic factor and the antibodies. I'm hoping not Celiac, so I don't want to immagine things before I get the results of this test back. Whether it is negative or not, I will still get the folates done, then there are a couple of other tests there that can help smoke out an " occult " B12 problem, namely the methymalonic thing and homocysteine can also point to B12 deficiency. Like I told someone else, no, I don't want another condition atop the thyroid (but, of course, that can be a part of ongoing thyroid disorders), but if it is the solution to my feeling ill or not quite right, with absolutely no energy for the last 3 yrs of my life, then it could be the answer to that. If it turns out that that's what it is, then I would also want to be checking for the Celiac problem. I do have digestive and bowel problems, and I love breads and such, so I have been a gluten baby all my life. If it turns out that I have that one, I certainly won't be anymore!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I can understand where you are comming from by not wanting to find out that you might be a celiac on top of everything else. It was a terrible time for me to be dealing with thyroid treatment, adrenal fatigue and not being able to eat just about everything in the processed food category. My life and range of movement shrank down to the size of a head of a pin. I began to feel that God was making a joke of my life. But, I feel so much better without wheat - a totally different person. If I accidentally get it in something now, I am sick for days. I get a nasty rash, and get this terrible morose depression for a day or two. I never had this when I ate it all the time. Mostly, i just never felt good. Now, I have nightmares about accidentally eating wheat. It scares me to death. I developed cateracts in my early 40s and I am pretty sure it was because of the celiac disease and the loss it causes of protective antioxidants. One good thing is that instead of focussing on my loss now, I think about eating really healthy whole foods that are in their natural state. I just love fresh free range eggs, meat, and vegetables in their prime. I also use almond flour as a substitute for wheat. my focus is now on nutrition. Wheat today really has very little nutrition. Processing destroys it. Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
