Hi ,

Your T3 uptake and the index test suggest that your thyroid hormone levels

might be falsely elevated due to changes in binding proteins. These changes

can be caused by hormones and some medications or they may be particular to

your metabolism.

The T3 level often stays elevated for a while when ATDs are started even when

patients begin noticing hypo symptoms. Hypot symptoms also generally show up

before the blood levels change so you must be responding well to your ATDs.

[Guest guest]

Also, ignore the TSH. It can take many months before it starts rising since

it's a pituitry not a thyroid hormone.

[Guest guest]

For diagnosis, the TSH is a great test. It reflects what's happening with

your thyroid hormone levels for the past 6 weeks or so. The pituitary

secretes TSH in response to your thyroid hormone levels but it's a slow

process. It's also a feedback mechanism. when your hypothalamus detects high

thyroid hormone levels, it tells the pituitary to quit secreting TSH. When

low thyroid hormone levels are detected, the pituitary ups its TSH secretion.

Normally, there is a 6 week lag, that is, it takes 6 weeks for any changes in

thyroid hormone levels to be reflected in the TSH test.

But when you are adjusting doses with ATD's or thyroid hormone replacement,

this lag time can increase considerably. So it can take many months for TSH

to start rising again even after your thyroid hormone levels move into the

normal range.

[Guest guest]

What do you mean. They diagnosed my condition (the hyper part) primarily

through the TSH because my other levels(t3, T4) are still normal. Sorry

to jump in, but you got me concerned.

Hi Elaine,

Thanks for the response. Will hang in there until the next tests.

The schedule is every 4 to 6 weeks for testing and altering dosage. I

am taking celebrex every few days as needed and nothing else at this

time except suppliments. I was taking a topical steriod for

psoriasis, but halted that several months ago. One autoimmune thing

at a time thank you.

Hi

I remember it taking away for the numbers to come down to normal when I was

started on PTU. It seems to me that the

most important thing is how you feel. Many here have written that they feel

better when their numbers are in the

slight hyper range. We are all individual humans not 'lab rats'. So sometime the

'normal ranges' should be a guide

to use in conjunction with how you feel.

I'm interested in the Graves 'tinctures' you mention. What are they???

Cheers

Caroline

[Guest guest]

Hi Caroline,

My main symptoms of jitters and heart palpataions are about gone, so progress

is there. Must be patient with the numbers I guess. Not a Graves Disease strong

point

While seaching around for Graves info I found several new (to me) and

interesting things about herbs and foods in gereral. The term Goitrogenic and

the foods were new and the possibility of a herbal aided remission was new. This

dispite the fact I've had Graves for several years now. This board just opens

the mind.

The tintures I am brewing are:

1) 4 parts Bugleweed, 2 parts Motherwort, 2 parts Scullcap, and 1 part Hawthorn

2) equal parts Motherwort and Lemon Balm

The tintures are made by combining the ingredients (I use C/S for all {cut and

sifted}), then cover with either vodka, vinegar, or distilled water. The purists

use vodka, I used vinegar so as not to get too attached to the medicine. The

herbs will absorb the liquid so keep adding until you have the liquid about 1

inch above the herb mixture.

These are the URL's mentioning these formulas and precautions.

PS: If there is someone tracking symptoms, I too had cramps almost every night

in the legs. Also have cramped up just removing a sweater. Was taking physical

therapy for back problems and was told I was the tightest person he had ever

worked with. I can do hamstring stretches every day with absolutely no progress.

Just as tight the next day.

Hi Jana:

Yes, those colonoscopies can be " a real pain in the butt " but I too,

like you, have to go yearly because of pre-cancerous polyps that were

found...and I have absolutely no family history or " high risk " for

this disease. But you know what, if they would have done one on my

husband Bert instead of insisting that sigs were enough, I don't

think I'd be part of this board today because when they finally did

do one, he now is stage III. After I've witnessed what he has

already been through in such a short period of time since his

diagnosis (7/03), I will go faithfully every year and get it done.

Your mom is stage III right? Are they doing a scan on your mom's

lung because they suspect something? Were they able to remove her

cancer, being that she is stage III and now suspect possible

metasteses to the lung or recurrent colon cancer? I won't tell you

not to worry because it is almost, at least for me as a caregiver to

both my mom and Bert, almost impossible to do but I will say to try

and not to worry too much. You will completely get yourself in knots

and upset before there might be anything to even worry about...and

then you'll make your mom worry about you! Funny how that works,

isn't it.

Hang in there and keep positive thoughts...they, along with prayers

work wonders sometimes.

Fondly,

Monika

Of course you'd like your creatine to be lower, but your other blood work is

excellent! As one with geneticly low hdl--in the 20s range--I'd pay lots of

money if it could buy higher hdl.

Hi , Congratulations to you on your test results and on your weight. I

gained 3 pounds over the holidays but I am pleased to report that I lost 3

pounds. I'm back where I want to be.

For years my HDL was always around 20-25. For the past couple of years taking a

therapeutic dose of niacin daily my HDL now runs between 4050 all the time

without exercising. If you got the bucks, you might give it a try. The minimum

therapeutic dose of niacin runs me around sixty cents per month, and if I took

the maximum therapeutic dose of niacin, it would cost me around $1.80 per month.

I take the cheap form of niacin, which causes the flush, but for a higher price

you could take the flush free niacin for around $5-10 per month. For me it

really works. How it would do for you can only be determined by trying it daily

for four or five months at a minimum with a prelipid panel, take the niacin, and

then finally get a post lipid panel to see if it is doing any good for you. I

like having the flush, which tells me the niacin is working. The flush only

last for a half hour or so, and if you take it at bedtime, you would probably

not notice the flush, since it happens while you are asleep.

BTW the therapeutic dose of niacin ranges between 1000-3000 mg per day,

preferably in divided doses of niacin. I use the 500mg niacin tablets.

Did you really mean sixty cents and $1.80 per month, or was

that per day or dose?

I believe there is an overdose dosage of it, too. So, you

really do need to build up to the dose right for you, I

would suppose in consultation with your doctor.

I'm not remembering what the symptoms or results of

overdosing are and my brain is too fried to look for it now.

Thanks for this!

Good going ,

I know what you mean by the A1C being up due to higher carb intake. At least

both of us know how to do better now.
