Well well well. we are back to the thyroid issue. Seems leg and feet cramps can be related to thyroid issues. And say a year ago.... if the dr. would have treated my subclinical hyperthyroid I would not be feeling like .... the way i am feeling right now! The past 6 months have be HORRIBLE. I am so ticked. As it is I have started two thyroid support systems... Thyrophin PMG and Aderenergize
I have throid issues too. Couldn\'t get my doc to listen so I finally found an endocrinologist. I blame my thyroid for making my ovaried go bad too. Write when you have time and let me know how you are doing, Vin
I am no dr. but from what i have been reading and looking for answers concerning my symptoms I think that I have a pretty classic case of hyperthyroidism. But then i am not sure? Here are my symptoms... very dry scalp that dandruff shampoos do nothing to help; tired, no energy, nails are dieing.. esp. the pointer finger and thumb; no sex drive, starving all the time; blurry vision, trouble concentrating, fed up grouchy, pms-ie; eyes look sunk-in and or puffy depending on the day..; loss of interest in everything becasue I do not feel good becasue my feet and legs are crazy freezing cramping hurt worst than any thing; The leg pain is a hateful hellish kind of pain. Attitude is not so good right now.
oh and one more thing to add to the list... elevated cholesterol is a big clue. Also TSH test may not show there is a problem even thought you feel horrible.
I really want to get my TSH cholesterol in check becasue long term even a little on the bad side add up to heart attack years from now depending on how fast my arteries might clog. I am learning fast that the thyroid does alot of regulating in the body.
Well my labs came back and the drs are ignoring my symptoms and only looking at the labs.. my thryroid looks normal on paper... but my cholesterol is elevated.. ;the dr. said take fish oil...
I am not happy camper right now. I know i am right about this. And i am screaming to be heard just like my thyroid is screaming for help.
I will find a way out of this and the path to health.
Thank so much Mandy for your support and understanding. I just wish the dr. could make the connections; we have and we had to come by knowing it the heard way.
Well, the dr says that my thyroid test are normal and that my cholesterol is elevated and recommended i take fish oil. I requested a thyroid antibody test of my blood work. I will post the results; should know in a couple of days. My next step will be do have hormones levels checked. sigh. but i have to stand my ground and insist on finding the root of this mess. I want wellness and to be pain free. Oh Lord please. amen.
I have been so sick.. the pain is getting worse and the drs are not really listening. Just want to keep me shut up with Lyrica. I know something is wrong and i really do not think it is neurological or nerve damage.. i mean my symptoms are so down the list thyroid and my antibody thyroid test was off the charts and my cholesterol is elevated.. two good markers of thyroid issues... along with the horrible pain. ... but the drs says oh your thyroid is not the problem. Then what IS? sigh well i guess that jabber was all pent up and just blew out. thanks for listening.
