Re: Thyroid issues

[Guest guest]

Please give some thought to writing a letter to the MS support group that I

attend hear in Atlanta, the newsletter is published and mailed free of charge

all over America, England and Australia and is read by many people outside of

the Multiple Sclerosis world. Your letter doesn't have to be very long and you

cannot give any medical advice, we are under the auspices of the MS Society. We

have a number of contributors and are constantly looking for new ones, you can

email the letter's editor and she will format it for print. This support group

has been very active here and has been voted the most pro active group

nationwide for the past three years. If nothing else, you can email Vicki your

address and she can mail newsletters to you, her email address is

thepomeroys@..., feel free to past this along to anyone else. Merry

Christmas and happy new year, have a healthy 2008! Mark

As notes, thyroid problems can be caused by iodine deficiency or by

mercury. www.flcv.com/endohg.html

For mercury related hypothyroid conditions or thyroiditis, amalgam replacement

and detox commonly cure or signif. improve the conditions.   (I've posted

references before)

Also note that it has been documented that antibiotics and antivirals are

usually ineffective at eliminating infections in the prescence of mercury

exposure(1,2).  (Omura studies- Medline)  This is also true for lyme disease.

Chronic intractable pain without any discernible causes is often caused by

Herpes virus, Campylobacter bacteria, or Chlamydia bacteria (3)  (also joint

pain by lyme)

Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus commonly cause chronic itching or burning

or muscle twitching(3)    (3-Omura paper)

To eliminate these, you must reduce mercury exposure.

I have taken t-3 cytomel for 40 years and cannot take anything with T4 even

though my t=4 remains undertreated. Since fibro diagnosis I have taken a variety

of meds including most antidepressants, lortabs. muscle relaxers, blood

pressure, diuretics laxatives, and immodium and a variety of vitamins and

allergy meds. also valium, xanax and trazadone. I am not on that total list now

although have 7 daily scripts plus the over the counter ones

I have never had a problem. I can tell you that during great emotional and

stress issues my thyroid has to be monitored as the dosage may have to be

increased. Those can be brought on by increased pain. My blood work shows I

should be on higher dosages but due to the way meds hit me differently I have to

remain on a low dose of 5 mcg of cytomel twice a day.

Cyrilla,

It took me a year to get my thyroid medication adjusted and it was

because they did not do the whole thyroid panel but just the one

thyroid test.

I was Vitamin D deficit, Calcium, and B 12 and that comes with

hypothyroidism. Health Central.com and about.com are two good websites

that explain thyroid problems well.

I ended up taking levothyrisne 175mcg. and doing well. There are many

articles that state vitamin D deficiency cause increased pain and it is

vitamin D 3 not the regular we think about.

Thyroid problems can cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol,

strokes, and other major problems so I take this seriously and let my

doctor

know when I think I am having problems. I had Hashimotos disease

which is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid. They did not

find out how bad it was because I had many small tumors throughout my

thyroid that did not show up on the ultrasound.

I actually had a thyroid storm and I could not swallow, breath, and

felt as if I was having a heart attack. I had tremors and pain. My

pain did get better when I had my hypothyroidism treated.

I always wondered how if they take out your thyroid, then where does

the Hashimotos immune deficiency catalyst do then. No Doctor has

answered that and articles I read state that other auto immune

disorder co exist with thyroid problems.

I hope that you get your medications regulated and let us know how you

are. Bennie
