If early in the disease, it is common to have remission periods. But remember too, taking thyroid meds early can slow down the destruction of the gland. Everything that you can do for you immune system will be beneficial in stopping the antibody attack on the gland. If later in the disease, the thyroid has been damaged and has become fibrous. I don't see how reversal of the disease could be obtained then. Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 , All your symptoms.... sure describes me. You ARE at the right place! I was undiagnosed for over 14 years! The doc started me 6 wks on Levoxyl... not better. I don't think Levoxyl or Synthroid could touch all the symptoms you and I have. I started noticing improvements right away with Armour. It's been a roller coaster, but fortunately... my symptoms are looking better and better. I've been on Armour since end of August. Up to 3 grains. I also have adrenal exhaustion. With all the itching and other symptoms... you might need to consider testing your adrenals as well as your thyroid. Go to our website, read the files and links sections to give you a jump start in understanding all this. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Thank you, Crystal, I don't even remember before the itchy ears, and the stress incontinence, I'm wondering if I should even try to deal with a dr outside the Kaiser system or if I should just work at treating myself. Here's a weird question...can this cause the vulva to shrink, as well at itch? or is that more from ovary/pituary shutting down? Getting a " baseline " and a good coach of a doc would be great but I've learned the hard way docs can just add to the mess when they don't " get it " ... Looks like I'm here for the duration! Thanks! .... Re: " healing " on Armour , All your symptoms.... sure describes me. You ARE at the right place! I was undiagnosed for over 14 years! The doc started me 6 wks on Levoxyl... not better.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Welcome , My suggestion would be to get Shomon's book - How to live well with an autoimmune disease. MS is an autoimmune disease. Having one puts you at a greater risk of having another. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is another autoimmune disease. (As is graves disease.) So it is very likely you have something going on with your thyroid as well.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Hi ; Welcome aboard!This is a great list. My name is Sim , and like you, am relatively new here. I am also a parent of a child with asperger's syndrome. My son (aged 8) was playing chess at three, navigating cd roms and such at two, and building robots at 5. However,most people hold no real significance for him at all (outside his immediate family). We made the decision to homeschool when he was 5 and it has been the best decision we have ever made , not just for him but for the entire family. There is at least one wonderful, wonderful yahoo list titled " ASLearning At Home " run by a great gal named . Those gals are worth their weight in gold, and would welcome you aboard even if you were just considering homeschooling. There are even people on list who don't have spectrum kids, but kids who may have traits. At any rate, this list is great for finding answers about the thyroid.
