Thyroid
Question:
Ok I went to the family PA because I was retaining water and guess what both of my THyroids are enlarge quite big. They did the blood and then a ultrasound but my questions is. Couldn’t this all be related to the psorasis? From what I read it is all related. I have pustular psoraisis on my hands and feet. Any feed back on this would be great. I don’t find out the levels until Tuesday. Thanks a bunch. Kristie

If you are, welcome to the club. Your doctor should be checking your T3, T4 and TSH levels to verify this. As you say, they’re related since they’re both triggered by the autoimmune system.

I would appreciate advice and/or suggestions for alternative thyroid treatments. My T4 and T3 fall into the "normal" range, but TSH is slightly elevated. I was diagnosed approx. 10 yrs. ago with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and placed on Synthroid. However, I cannot tolerate it; I experience heart palpitations and symptoms of "hyper." I have also tried all the other forms of thyroxine, including Armour thyroid; same results. Are there alternative methods for getting the thyroid to work again? Nell

Thyroid – 36 year old woman, who once had thick hair, experiencing thinning on top. Traditional blood tests, including the thyroid panel, appear within normal range, and only other symptom is feeling very cold at times, especially when eating. Sometimes body is so cold that shivering results. Diet includes adequate protein, fish and chicken, and supplements. Seeking alternative therapies. Thanks. –

Peter, My wife has been using non-prescription transdermal NATURAL Progesterone cream for about 4 months and her symptoms of low thyroid are beginning to subside (she has been on synthroid). Get a copy of the book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause" by John R. Lee, MD. (it is a paperback for $12.99 published in May ‘96) to find out how progesterone can reverse osteoporosis, protect you from cancer and alleviate many bad health problems caused by estrogen dominance. Dr. Lee explains that excess estrogen (progesterone deficiency) inhibits the utilization of the thyroid hormone even if blood levels are normal. My wife had the cold symptoms even though she was taking thyroid. Her splitting nails have also been alleviated. George Prell
