Cause Question Effect

[Guest guest]

Hi.

I have been wondering if doctors ask the right questions. Did your

doctor ask you if something caused your thyroid problem?

No doctor ever asked me any question relating to my circumstances

before my thyroid got upset. They only asked about my family. Any

question, but 'me'. Why?

I asked recently (UK) specialist about thyroid resolutions

(hyperthyroid options). The doctor said the reason they do what they

do, is because they have been doing it for 40yrs & it works,

therefore that is all they offer. No research or rethink needed.

They will not listen to me, because of this solution which they offer.

Every time my thyroid became upset was after hospitisation for

serious physical trauma or severe bacterial/virus illness.

My thyroid never triggered for no reason nor when I was happy & well.

My question - if the thyroid governs metabolism, then it has a duty

to alter during physical trauma/severe illness, so if treated with

antithyroid medication, it does not know when emergency is over,

hence to stop emergency (duty bound) action.

It is possible that the thyroid acting through nessisity of

biological circomstance are seen by doctors as in need of treatment

in its self (the doctors can not know that thyroid activity is a

symptom because thyroid trigger (physical emergency) may have subdued

through its own medical treatment).

Could doctors be overreacting to what is a natural defence mechanism

(the thyroid), just needing time to settle once the emergency is over?

[in terms of infection, the auto antibodies are attacking

bacteria/virus in the affected organ/gland & are not actually

attacking the self material of the organ/gland itself, thus this is

not a malfunction, but autoantibody count is obviously mega high &

that is all a doctor can see/read & not the real cause].

If this is the case. Autoimmune antibodies detected in thyroid due to

physical trauma/illness, then the thyroid is not to blame & should

not be changed by doctors. What is needed is complete treatment of

origional trauma site, so that thyroid is free to return to normal of

its on accord, as naturally dictated once emergency over.

Terminating the thyroid does not change emergency status of auto

antibodies if they believe an infection/crisis to still be happening.

So what is the point in terminating the thyroid if it changes nothing?

What do you think?

Can you trace your auto antibody thyroid response to physical events

or did it happen out of the blue on a good day? Mine started as

Hashimoto (autoimmune underactive) then went onto Graves (autoimmune

over active) Both were triggered by very severe circumstances.

I really look forward to your responses, as I am having big fights

with my Endocrinologist. No one will listen to me.
