Grave's Disease Hyperthyroidism Or Just Toxic Thyroid
Posted: 09-09-06 07:14am

Thyroid tissue echostructure in both lobe unbalanced. Right lobe: 20*15*51mm, capacity 9,5 ml. Left lobe:18*22*60mm, capacity 13ml. Thyroid total capacity 22,5 ml.

(now I am estonian and I tried to translate here my ultrasound result, I am sorry if I have not been able to do it well but I hope you understand it)

tsh 0,004
ft4 37,8

symptoms I am having: bulging eyes (i have problems with one eye)
anxiety
rapid heartbeat
trembling hands
tiredness
light vision problems
sweating like a pig , not tolerating heat at all
sleep disturbances

i am 23 yrs old girl from estonia, I have 6 yrs old son and I started having thyroid problems 1,6 yrs ago.

I got treatment with medication called tiotil which is from denmark and is quite new. It is ptu medication, at first I took 250 mg of it for 2-3 weeks in a day, then 200mg for 2-3 months and then 150mg til the end of the year. I also started to read about thyroid diseases after and decided to change doctor since this did not helped me what she gave me, she also did not informed me about everything I should need to know about my disease. I started having teeth problems as well though I took very good care of my teeth as usually and I also loose hair a lot. I still am not sure why and is it because of my thyroid disease. My doctor also did not told me about grave's disease and never gave me treatment for my eye. Basicly she just gave me tiotil in small doses and did not tell me anything. 3 months after I finished taking tiotil I changed doctor and she gives me right now also tiotil but she told me to take 300 mg until the hormone level normalizes and then she suggest me to do radioactive treatment. I also have someone who has same disease with same symptoms and radioactive treatment influenced her all body very badly and she told that she would choose now surgery but my new doctor doe not want me to do that and said they won't do it. New doctor also did not told me about grave's disease and I do not know how they do surgery in estonia, maybe they do not have ant surgerys who would do it well but I do not want to get radioactive treatment.



Now when you know most of my story and symptoms and my disease story then can anybody say to me what should I do? I do not trust doctors in estonia, I have seen lot of terrible results that doctors here have caused and I have every reason to doupt in them.
:cry:

please help me!!!!

Can U Take Healthguard T18?
Posted: 10-30-06 11:38am

Hello. My aunt has prob. Of graves also since diagnosed est.3yrs already... She's a workacholic and her eye (both) bulging more than ever, neck got slightly enlarged. That forced her not to work so hard. We familly helped her source alot of natural medication as aunt has prob. To take much prescribed drugs.

As you, her eye prob. & symptoms are not much solved even on those drugs. So we studied alot from the net, and found one natural chinese medi called 'healthguard t18' from singapore. Aunt is now on 3rd treatment. Her eye bulge prob improved, 0.2/3mm withdrawal backwards. Neck is not that 'hard' when touch by fingers now. The thyroid symptoms were improveed from 3 months after taking t18.

We still stay in contact with the pro.Health consultant, by email you can reach him at tedyu @health-guard.Net. (v.Nice person!& precise advice) you can study the t18 thyroid remedy from here [ref.:http://www.Health-guard.Net/eng/thyr oid_guide.Php] for a glance before consultation.

We family are hapi with aunt's health improvement progress so far. I think healthguard t18 is quite a good alernative coz s'pore has strict rules on chinese medication. If its registered product there should be trusted.

Hello, I am sorry you are having so many problems with your thyroid. I also have graves disease, and was diagnosed over 20 years ago.

Did your doctor tell you that graves disease in an autoimmune disease?

I almost lost my life to graves disease.....I also took the anti thyroid drugs at first, tapazole, sski, etc... Then when I was stable, I had the rai...Radio active iodine , that destroyed most of my gland. It sounds as though the medications are different where you are...And I would recomend having the rai....It did not do anything to my body..It has a half life of about 9 days... They give you a dose according to your weight, and it contains iodine.... That is what takes the radiation up to the gland....Iodine always is taken up by the thyroid gland, so the radiation goes along for the ride... It usually stays in the gland for up to a year......At the time I had it, I was very scared, and discovered, that was the way to go...I have had no problems as far as side effects from radiation, but, about 5 months after I had the radiation, my thyroid went the other way, and I now am hypothyroid, and take synthroid daily to put the hormone back into my body,,,i have had more problems with that over the years, then anything else, and I hate taking the synthroid.... It has side effects, and it is hard to get my thyroid levels normal...I am tninking of going to a speciialist, who will send me to a compound pharmacist, and make thyroid hormone just for me.. The right amount... I found out armour thyroid is the way to go, and I also probably need t3... Synthroid is t4 from what I understand.....I wish you luck....And hope you can find a doctor in your part of the world who is educated on thyroid disease....If you have anymore questions, or just need to talk you can email me...

Have a nice day
