Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hi Jane, Do you think it may just be a symptom of Hashimoto's? Ever since my TSH shot up last Year and i finally got diagnosed with hypothyroidism, my face just made a nose-dive. I had very clear skin (always got compliments) to looking like a teenager. I have managed to eliminate most on my face; however, my forehead is a mess and these pimples seem to really crop up around the hairline (all the way around my head to the back of my neck, and even some on the scalp (like top of the head). It's driving me nuts. I don't feel attractive anymore, and I certainly don't feel like being intimate with my husband for a number of reasons. I tell you, this disease really sucks the big kahuna for sure. One thing I have been lucky with with this disease is that I have had a huge loss of appetite, so I didn't have the weight problems that many are currently battling and I certainly feel for them. I do gain weight easily, but it seems that when I start to gain a few pounds, then I loose my appetite and I stablize. ANyway, just wanted you to know that you are not alone with this annoying problem. All I can hope for is that the Armour will take over in time for both of us . > > Do you think the zits, spots, acne thing I am getting is anything > to do with > > the > > Armour or prednisolone (5mg ) ... just curious... in case its the > makeup or > > cream... or is it a normal reaction for a while?? > > > > feel like a kid again... ik > > > > Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hi Jane, Just ask the doc to test for anti-tpo antibodies and there is another one, but I have forgotten the name of it (the first one is most important in detecting the presence of Hashimoto's). Have you not been diagnosed with thyroid disease or dysfunction as of yet? Sorry if I am repeating what you may have already posted. I just can't keep up with all the posts lol. It's really important to get the antibodies test if your other thyroid labs are showing to be normal. It is very possible to have normal labs (according to most doctors that are conventional) and be hypothyroid. I was for over 15 years and it only got really bad (undoubtedly intolerable) after my second baby. I had just about every typical symptom of hypothyroidsim, yet my TSH was 6.63 and all other labs were " normal " . I am back in Canada, and their TSH range is .4 - 6, so I would have been just out of range and I probably would have been monitored instead of treated. I am currently on 1 1/2 grains of Armour and I am still in the process of increasing and getting to my optimal dose. My antibodies proved to be well over 1000 (normal is below 25).` Good luck on your labs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
