Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Depression being a symptom of low thyroid, and then the drs give anti-depressants, of which ,quite a few adversely affect the thyroid even more.... A vicious cycle Depression, bi-polar, anxiety, panic and even eating disorders are being said related to thyroid dysfunction.The attention deficit disorders, too. ThyroFeisty/Feisty Re: Re: test results Hypochondriacs do talk themselves into symptoms.... but is anything that you are feeling now something that you had to convince yourself that you had, or did it happen and you realized that you were experiencing something that you'd not had before? I think it's already been mentioned.. that you should get your labs done: TSH, Free T4, Free T3, thyroid antibodies and Ferritin.... then you're gonna have a better idea as to what is going on and what steps to take from there.... Even the depression is a symptom of low thyroid... it should be criminal to pass out antidepressants when they aren't even bothering to find out the cause.... It's just as if you had a slow leak in your tire and someone hands you a tire pump and says to just keep pumping to keep it from going flat.... Why not just fix the blasted tire!!!????

He had me on it at one time to boost my antidepressant (which I am not on any longer either... that was a couple of years ago) but I think if I do go on any I will probably see if he can put me on armour. Thanx for letting me know you felt the same way. Sometimes I feel like I should think of myself as a hypochondriac except that I know these are things I am actully feeling ... but I guess they probably talk themselves into feeling their symptoms too LOLRhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Can someone tell me what all this means?? Just trying to understand what is going on. I have been tested because of numerous crazy things going on with myself and have been for about three yrs. I just started Cortef 5mg morning and 2.5 mid day and 2.5 no later then 4 pm. I still feel bloated, but I feel alittle better, not so much like having the flu. I do crash right before mid afternoon and crave suger BAD!!, but after I take the 2.5 it subsides within a hour, but not as good as I feel after the AM dose. cortisol Morning 6.1 ng/ml Noon 1.0 ng/ml Evening 0.2 ng/ml night 0.1 ng/ml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
