I'm a Hypothyroid "newbie" ( with dangerouly low B12 ) who found out only 4 weeks ago, following a full "MOT" bloods. ~ I went to the GP felling like the perverial Cr@p thinking it was down to very long days, and just hoping to have something to tell the boss so could get the length of my working days cut.
(( I'm an hourly visting caregiver ))
you can imagine my surprise to be told I'm *ILL!...
I'm a little frustrated too that I have *Other stuff* including gynea, that is now being clumped in with "well that's down to your thyroid" adding to frustration.
(( I'm unsure if the OTHER STUFF actually is? ))
I have a question, ok 2 in 1.
Q) Did anyone else actually feel WORSE after they found out?
if so, then how long til you felt better?
Does anyone else have gynea issues? referal was URGENT!~ I've been and refered on to have a CT 2 weeks ago and waiting for results.
I've read other posts but nothing from a NEWBIE point of view.
Bueno, primero que nada, necesitas preguntarle a tu médico qué es esa "otra cosa".
En segundo lugar, ¿qué llevó al diagnóstico de hipotiroidismo? Sería inusual si solo fuera por la falta de B12. La prueba clásica se llama TSH, hormona estimulante de la tiroides, ¿te la hicieron y cuál fue el valor?
Creo que la mayoría de las personas se sienten peor después de enterarse, es solo naturaleza humana. En algún momento, tal vez después del escaneo, puedes esperar una discusión sobre la medicación para aumentar la cantidad de hormona tiroidea en tu sangre, porque, típicamente, la falta de la hormona es lo que te hace sentir mal.
It was a general *unwellness that prompted GP visit as I'm not a frequant visitor to the surgery~ Although I have been more in the last 6 weeks than in the last 6 years!( possibly longer = I thought I don't get sick, just worn out)
For this reason alone the GP ordered the full bloods for baseline testing~ I really haven't been in years, for anything more than a (work related) pulled mucsle.
Test showed CA125 underactive thyroid(I don't have the numbers of original counts)
"The other stuff" is the gynea and things that I knew of before.
( the gynea is new other stuff but generally the rest is long term stuff that I knew about, so not showed much attention to it.... til now 
I was put on 50mg Thyroxine, which has to me made no difference and I'm actually feeling physically worse. ~ Possibly anxiousness waiting for gyne results not helping the situation( they were URGENT REFFERALS!)
El medicamento tardará varias semanas en hacer efecto. Luego, mide tu TSH nuevamente y descubre cuál es el valor. El médico puede aumentar la dosis. ¿Se realizó la tomografía computarizada en el área de tu cuello/tiroides? Si es así, eso está bien, ya que quieren descubrir qué está pasando allí.
Lo siento, no sé qué es/significa CA125.
Desde el punto de vista de un principiante, el mejor consejo es no esperar necesariamente una solución rápida y educarte utilizando al Dr. Google, porque muchos médicos no tienen mucha idea de cómo tratar esta condición, por lo que necesitas estar lo suficientemente informado como para poder presionar y hacer las preguntas correctas. ¡Mantennos informados y mucha suerte!
OK, busqué en Google la prueba de CA125 y tú también puedes hacerlo. No parece ser una prueba para problemas de tiroides, así que quizá tu médico te confundió un poco?
CA significa Antígeno del Cáncer, por lo que parece que quieren descartar cualquier tipo de cáncer, especialmente el de ovario. Los valores normales son de 0 a 30, pero un valor elevado no indica necesariamente cáncer, ya que hay otras razones para un valor alto. Por cierto, el 125 en CA 125 es el nombre de la prueba, ¡NO tu valor!
Bueno, dile a tu médico que necesitas la maldita información para mostrarle a tu jefe. Tal vez consigas una carta del médico. Debes tomar el control aquí, no dejar que "el sistema" te tome el pelo.
My fiancee had hypothyroidism and I fix it for her, in most cases it hashimotos disease which is where the immune system attacks the thyroid and the only way to put it right is to stay off all the immune boosting food and eat foods high in protien!
You see the protien feeds the cells in your body put the T4 right and the T3 will follow, that's what this diet does puts this right and it's just food so no harm done!
She was pregnant at the time and this fact made it even harder to treat her as most of the foods she couldn't eat, eggs had to be hard boiled she ate nuts and organic chicken and the other vegetables that don't boost the immune system, after 4 weeks she went back to eating her normal diet and was checked at the doctors through her bloods and the doctor couldn't believe it, I did tell him what I would do!
