Guest guest Posted March 31, 1999 Report Share Posted March 31, 1999 , Welcome! I am Cristina & have two kids. Amber who is 4.5yrs & Austin 17mos. Thrush can be difficult. Make sure you both are being treated, sounds as if you are. Be diligent about your dosing. Change your bras often & pads more often. Thrush thrives in warm moist environments. Air dry your nipples if you can. Sunshine can do wonders if you can manage that. Wash your bras in Vinegar & water. If your thrush is not gone after diligent treatment of nystatin there is an oral medication, dia something. Other girls here know what it is called. I hear it works wonders. Hope this helps, & welcome again. Cristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 31, 1999 Report Share Posted March 31, 1999 JennaLee, I always am impressed with people who do foster care and adopt. What a hero you are to those kids. Congratulations on your new baby. I am glad you are getting a chance to breastfeed as it is so rewarding. Its great for you to be able to do that. From what I understand thrush is pretty hard to battle and lots of women here recommend going on a prescription. I can't remember the name. Cherie knows. Again welcome to you and your family. I will keep positive thoughts for the adoption. Wendi Newbie Hello everyone! My name is , I'm 28 and dh is Greg, 30. I just joined the list yesterday and thought that I would introduce myself and my family. We have 4 children. , 7, has been with us 3 years...... 2 as a foster child and then we were able to adopt her last year. Colby, 4, and , 2, they are biological brothers that we currently have in fostercare. They have been with us 17 months and we will know in a few days whether or not we can adopt them as well. Lastly is who will be 6 weeks on Friday. She is our first and most likely only biological child (fertility problems) It has always been my dream to be able to breastfeed a child and so our last 6 weeks have been wonderful. I plan to nurse for at least a year. Our only problem so far is a whopping case of thrush that she and I are sharing. I would love to hear any suggestions on how to make it a little less painful. I guess that's me in a nutshell. I stay at home with the two youngest ones (the other two are in school) and I love it. I can't wait to share with all of you!

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Angel, Welcome.... Did they give you an actual diagnosis or just say that you are hypo? You wouldn't happen to have copies of your labs tests, with lab ranges, that you could share with us? And what your dose is now? Getting thyroid hormones up to proper levels means that we can be pretty normal (we still have to take the pills... but most of the symptoms go away or greatly reduce) the important thing is to keep on top of it and make sure that they body is getting what it needs sooner, rather than later. That's why I ask about your diagnosis and lab results.. to make sure that everyone is on top of things and not letting it slide... Hypothyroid is the resulting condition from something else, usually an auto immune issue, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Although it can also result from other things. Knowing the cause affects how you should be treated and how you will be doing down the road. Sounds confusing at first.. but the more you understand the less confusing it is. When you have a bit of time, we have a web site with some info to get you started.. there are many many others and I'm sure you'll be checking them out as you go... www.thyrophoenix.com/thyroid_101.htm ....and no, you're not alone.. there are lots of us folks dealing with thyroid issues....

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 If you have hypothyroidism and IBS, I would like to suggest that you have a test for Celiac disease or wheat allergy. The two things go together very often. One in 133 people in the US has it. If you have this and get off the wheat, you will feel worlds better.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hello Angel, Welcome aboard! When ever you have a question, please feel free to ask it. It is by questions that a great many of us have learned how to improve our daily lives. After you have finished reading the www.thyrophoenix.com web site that Topper and have put together, might I also suggest that you read the thyroid.about.com web site. Read these web sites from front to back, side to side....and then ask us any questions that you need help with...never be afraid to ask...it may take a few days for one of us to find the answer for you, however, we will sooner or later help you and the rest of us understand. Check out your local library to see what they have...granted it may be out of date, however it will be a start... Welcome!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 HI again! I had testing done(I don't have any hard copies of the tests though) and was started off on the lowest dose. I now take 112 mcg of Levothryoxine every day. I was tested each month until my levels were within normal range.. but I was still feeling sluggish all the time. So my doctor raised my dosage a slight bit and now I feel pretty good. I still have to go every few months and have my levels tested. I was also on Lipitor for a month because my cholesterol was quite high. But after a month I was down to 180. Over all I am feeling pretty good but still get tired a lot if I over exert myself. I still have a lot to learn!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Thank you for that suggestion. I will look into it! I know when I was on the Somersizing diet..

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Angel.... we've found out that simply 'being in normal range' isn't enough to get you back to where you are truly feeling good. Depending on your lab and whether they are using the old lab ranges, or the new ones, you could have a TSH level anywhere from 3.0 to 5.0.. and some docs will even let you go up to 6.0. Yet for most folks to feel their best TSH is running around 1.0 and for many even less than that. Once you are on thyroid replacement TSH really doesn't mean a lot, once you are taking meds your actual hormone levels are FAR more important than TSH. Yet most docs still don't want to test the Free T4 (thyroid storage hormone) or Free T3 (active thyroid hormone) and unless you know what the level of your Frees are you really don't know how well your body is utilizing the hormone that you are taking. Also... when you are taking a synthetic T4 only med (like Levothyroxine) it's VERY important to check your Free T3 levels. When taking a T4 only med you are totally dependant on your body to convert enough of the storage T4 to the usable T3... you can have a really low TSH and high T4 (T4 is a TSH suppressor) and have a Free T3 level which is too low to allow you enough usable active hormone to feel well. I probably confused the heck out of you.... we have a web page that you can peak at to get a better handle on the hormones, tests and meds on our website..... www.thyrophoenix.com/thyroid_101.htm stuff that we all have to learn well, so that we know exactly what we are talking about....

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hashimoto's Disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism and the roller coaster ride that ensues. Autoantibodies (self antibodies that mistake your thyroid for a foreign invader and destroy it) of the two major thyroid types can determine this, and sometimes just one of them. Antithyroidperoxidase antibodies and Antithyroglobulin antibodies. Re: newbie > > > Hi ! So nice to meet you > > I now live in REnton WAshington.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I missed this one ... I'm glad that you reposted!! Welcome! There are different opinions as to whether or not it's best to remove the damaged gland. Pros and cons to each choice. Since the gland will die eventually anyway, getting rid of the gland right away save having to deal with the sputtering of it for years to come, so we'll concentrate on that positive aspect. I had my gland destroyed by RAI, 15 years ago, so I can speak from the point of view of one with no gland. I think it might be easier to determine dosage BUT it's also a drawback in that if you miss a dose or have a change in lifestyle your body can't pick up the slack, you have to be more vigilant in adjusting your dose, if needed. Have you and your doc discussed hormone replacement yet? Again, speaking as one with no gland function and after 10 years of treatment using synthetics I think natural hormone does us a lot more good, giving us all the hormones and not just T4. You may be just beginning with all of this so you might want to get more familiar with the basics. We have a page set up on our web site that will give you an introduction, from there you can do more research, if you like, or just have a better understanding of what we are talking about here. It will give you a run down of the hormones, the tests and the choices in meds. www.thyrophoenix.com/thyroid_101.htm It wouldn't be a bad idea, in my opinion, to get started on charting yourself, it will help you and your doc (assuming he's a 'work with you doc' and not a 'do as I say doc') determine remaining function after the surgery (thyroidectomy removes MOST of the gland tissue but NEVER all). Some docs chose to do RAI (radioactive iodine) to destroy remaining tissue, if it's still causing problems. You may want to ask about that. www.thyrophoenix.com/self_monitor.htm Never be afraid to ask questions... and if your post gets misplaced, if it's not answered in 24 hours, post again, okay? I'm a bit different from the rest of the group in that my gland wasn't diseased and I didn't have an immune issue (like Hashi's) either, I'm the lucky kid that had the genetic defect resulting in my gland over producing, my going hyper and eventually into thyroid storm. They used the RAI to stop it, leaving me totally dependant on replacement hormone. But I also have the advantage of having survived not only long term hyper, but thyroid storm and after the RAI the misfortune of a bunch of bad docs and years of being undertreated, causing me to go severely hypo. So, sigh, I've lived, survived, both extremes... So.. that's a bit about me.... When is your surgery scheduled? You realize that by admitting that you are a quick study you've opened yourself up to some teasing if you ask for a repeat??? hehehhehehehehehehehe Topper () On Sat, 12 Feb 2005 18:17:27 -0000 "katorr1013" writes: > > Hi all.....I am from Tennessee.
