Alyssa Z. asked:Looking for an endocrinologist to help me figure out if I have a thyroid problem around the Irwin area! One that's nice and actually cares and wants to help. My general doctor is too wishy washy and I've read that a lot of times, thyroid problems go untreated because the doctors simply go by blood test results and then ignore the patient's symptoms. Thanks in advance!Katy P. replied:Read this site thoroughly and be your own advocate. You can order your own testing, including saliva testing and if needed, supplements or medication online. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/

Current Endo is Pugh at Roper, who is great, but we want a second opinion. Thanks!Karen N. replied:Most endo doctor are terrible when it comes to thyroid issues.

Kelsey C. asked:Hi there! I was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and am tired of being shaken off by my doctors. Does anyone have a doctor who has helped more than just shoving Synthroid at you? I've been hypothyroid for 2 years now and they just now took the antibody test to confirm Hashimoto's. Any suggestions are much appreciated!!Bryan G. replied:Some helpful info http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/

Surviving D. asked:Question from a fellow Gravester.... I have just recently discovered my graves has returned after getting the all clear in 2012 that it was stable and I could come off the carbimazole. I am waiting to see the Endocrinologist again. Was told by endo and doc that if it was to return I'd need definative treatment other than just tablets. Which treatment is better the Rai or thyroid surgery? What are the pros n cons of each. I'm 31 and really wanting to start trying for a family again as soon as I can. I miscarried in october last year not sure if this stress caused it to return or if I just had a bit of bad luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanceJennifer C. replied:Graves is an auto immune condition that will never go away. It can go into remission, but you will always have it. You have to be careful being on hyper meds for too long. You have to keep check on your white blood cell count. If you get any kind of i nfection etc.. you have to get it checked right away. It can lead to an infection in your bone marrow. Most drs don't like to keep patients on hyper meds more than a year or two at the most before you need to make a decision. I chose surgery. I have heard too many bad stories from RAI and heard from so many that wished they would've chose surgery instead. For the best outcome look for an Endocrine Surgeon, they do more thyroidectomies than anyone. I got pregnant within one year of the surgery. We had been trying for five yrs prior to my being diagnosed with Graves/hyperthyroid. Also, instead of being put on Synthroid or Levo, you should push for NDT(natural desiccated thyroid) such as Armour, Naturethroid, WP Thyroid, etc.. It has all the thyroid hormones a natural thyroid makes T4, T3, T2, T1 and Calcitonin. Patients do so much better on it, especially if they start with it right away. Synthroid/Levo is only T4, and most people start to develop a lot of other health problems down the road being on it only. Stopthethyroidmadness.com

Bambi S. asked:Can anyone recommend a GREAT adult endocrinologist in the Columbia or Lexington area? Brittany has a great one now at MUSC that is very attentive, responsive, knowledgable, and caring. But with college it's harder to make that 2 hour drive. And when she went to ER last month the hospital her wanted to send her to MUSC in an ambulance, crazy talk!! Since she has an Endo theirs wouldn't get involved.Susana L. replied:Sorry, I don't have a recommendation yet. I'm waiting to see mine in August. On the meantime I'm on my own. Holistic doctors recommend to have thyroid panels tested in the morning before 10 because thyroid stimulating hormone fluctuates with time of d ay. If she is taking meds already have her not take it until after blood work. It will affect her readings. Regular doctors won't tell you that. If she is in range but still having symptoms I would check Thyroid thyroglobulin- TgAb & Thyroid peroxidase -TPO antibodies for Hashimotos Thyroiditis & adrenal fatigue. I would not solely rely on the results of standard blood tests, rather on the symptoms she is suffering. Optimal range might still be not normal for her. I was in "range" & having severe symptoms. It took me a few doctors to be willing to do all the tests & to find diagnoses. I would also recommend checking this website: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/long-and-pathetic/ Also I recommend these books: - Why do i still have thyroid symptoms? By Datis Kharrazian -Thyroid Healthy by Suzy Cohen And Dr. David Brownstein, Dr. Izabella Wenth, Dr. Tom Obryen, Dr. Kelly Brogan, Mary Shomon, Dr. Aristo Vojdani, Dr. Alan Christianson, Dr. Mercola, Dr. Lynch.... Many of them have books that you can find at the Richland library. I have requested the library to buy a couple. They have websites & many are on Facebook and very friendly. I would also watch for fluoride & chlorine. Thyroid gland is a sponge for iodine. It produces thyroid hormone. When you take in fluoride, the fluoride displaces the iodine in your gland. And it reduces your ability to produce thyroxin. Fluoride is in water, about 100 popular drugs, tooth paste... Watch for plastics, bisphenol A’s (BPA) structure is almost similar or identical to thyroid hormone. So BPA (found in plastic) binds to our tissue but because of similarity between bisphenol A with thyroid tissue...

Judy P. asked:Need suggestions for treatment for dry & wet eczema for a 7 year old & a 3 year old. They have been treated with all kinds of steroids all their life & they suffer so bad, especially when they get hot, they start itching really bad. They have been to every specialist around with no relief obtained. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you..Xylinda M. replied:I would test them for thyroid but you must ask for the t3, t4 & reverse t3. Most docs only use the tsh test. If you dr. refuses (most do) you can order your own bloodwork. Please see "stopthethyroidmadness.com" "recommended bloodwork" ... It's not my page but the info has saved my life ALSO we like to heal with natural methods & natural thyroid from cows & pigs.

Rachel E. asked:Has anyone here had thyroid function tests done? I had one about a year ago that was completely normal, but all my ME symptoms have got worse again over winter, with a few extras thrown in. I had another TFT done a couple of weeks ago and it's showing as underactive. (Of course that isn't enough for my doctor to give me medication to correct it - they'd rather wait 3 months to retest whilst I get worse every day).Katie F. replied:You need to check out this website if you haven't already. It explains why the usual tests are no good & what to do: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/. Be careful about your adrenals!

Jennifer G. asked:Hi beautiful friends, I have a question.... Does it did anyone have thyroid nodules? 2 was just found and I need to see a specialist to determine if it's cancerous or benign. The fun never stops for us! Lol!Sara C. replied:I am 37. When I was 18 they found a huge nodule covering more than 2/3 of my thyroid. They couldn't determine by biopsy if it wa benign or malignant. I had to have surgery and removed more than 2/3 of my thyroid. Dessication of the removal showed an Adenoma in change, possibly becoming malignant. After that it was downhill. Most doctors DO NOT know how to properly test or treat for thyroid disorders. I was maltreated and put on Synthroid - Not a metabolism hormone and not the essential hormone for thyroid. Synthroid is T4 and T4 is sent out by the Pituitary to tell the thyoid what to do. If you have surgically removed the thyroid or have something very wrong this hormone will just end up in a dead end as the thyroid is no longer capable of communicating with the rest of the body. Many times yoga (Bikram Yoga) and diet changes can fix a benign condition - I have seen it myself many times - But sometimes surgery is necessary. Make sure whoever tests your thyroid is knowledgeable enough to know to only test T3 FREE, T4 FREE, Thyroid antibody and Reverse T3. TSH does NOT test thyroid function - It shows Pituitary function. It can still be useful in the case of additional Pituitary issues. www.stopthethyroidmadness.com
