  1. Thyroid Disease General Discussion Forum
    I'm curious as to experiences taking anti depressants mostly before a thyroid dysfunction DX. Anyone have anything to share? Someone in my family with positive TPO and TSI, ( not high enough to treat yet) with low normal FT-4 ( meaning not quite to 1/2 range and mid range FT-3 results. ) some...
  2. Lab Results Discussion Boards
    hi guys so its been 7 months since my TT and I feel like garbage...as in, I'm so tired I could fall asleep at the drop of a hat and have almost run off the road a few times. Here are my latest lab results on 125 mcg of synthroid TSH: 0.235* (0.450 - 4.500) T4: 10.2 (4.5-12.0) FT4: 1.9 (0.8 -...
  3. Additional Problems From Thyroid Disease
    Does anyone else get PVCs that keep them up at night? These annoying thuds are preventing me from sleep. My most recent holter showed that they mainly happen when I'm lying down.
  4. Hashitoxicosis Forum - High TPO Ab, TG Ab & TSI

  5. Newbie Introductions - Don't be bashful!
    I'm new to this website but not so new to Hashimoto's. I live in Brisbane, Australia and discovered I had a thyroid condition when I was just finishing grade 12. I'm 28 and have had hypothyroidism since. It fluctuated from low to borderline, then to normal and back to very low. Mostly low it has...

    Nice to meet you all! I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, started on lowest dose of Synthroid/ Levothyroxine (3rd day) I am grateful to finally have some answers and possible solutions to some of my symptoms (Waiting to see rheumatologist for possible Sjorgens Syndrome diagnoses) I have...
  7. Newbie Introductions - Don't be bashful!
    Hello forum, I am posting in here because I'm not getting solid feedback from my doctor about what to expect now that I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease. I also have a hard time qualifying the advice from my peers. Many of whom mean well but I don't know how much to rely on 2nd hand...
  8. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (Hashi's Disease) Forum
    Hi Everyone, I'm brand new here but have been reading thyroid forums all over the internet for some time. I have kind of an interesting 'Thyroid Journey' that I thought I'd share here - mainly because my treatment is the opposite of most cases I hear about. I was started on Cytomel...
  9. Lab Results Discussion Boards
    Hi everyone! TSH: 0.722 (0.4-4.5) FT3: 3.1 (2.0-4.4) T3: 98 (71-180) I feel decent but am still having problems with joint pain, fatigue, sleep, and constipation. I am only hesitant to add T3 because when I tried it pre-TT it made my symptoms worse, so that scares me, because I'm a full time...

  13. Newbie Introductions - Don't be bashful!
    Hello all, I'm happy to have found this forum. :) I'll make my story as short as possible... I was diagnosed with Grave's about a year after my first daughter was born. (14 years ago) The doctors thought it was pregnancy related. They had several suggestions, including radioactive iodine...

  15. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (Hashi's Disease) Forum
    My doctor hasn't messaged me yet about the results. This is just the dictation from the doctor who studied the ultrasound. This is good news though, right? Only having one nodule and having it be hyperechoic are good signs I think, as well as the mention of "no vascularity". I don't know what...
  16. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (Hashi's Disease) Forum
    My intro post is here: http://thyroidboards.com/forums/topic/28098-34f-with-hashimotos/ Could someone tell me how many images are usually saved during a thyroid ultrasound? I've had ultrasounds of other areas of my body before that I'd think would be more involved and have more to look at than...

    Hi! I'm so happy I found this forum! So far I think it's been a better resource than my physician. Anyway, introduction. I'm Adriana and I'm 34 and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in May. I'd gone years without seeing a doctor since I didn't have insurance or money. This year though I finally...
