Question about thyroid diseases?
I have had swollen lymph nodes in my neck every month as long as i can remember and the doctor always called it acute thyroiditis and gave me infection medicine and sent me on my way. A few months ago my doctor said the next time i come in she is going to look into having my tonsils removed so i avoided the doctor and just lived with my pain and it eventually went away. My mom has hashimotos and said that thyroid problems run in the family, i did a checklist online and i checked 25 of the 35 symptoms. I'm wondering if i should have a test run to check my thyroid, my old doctor ran a check and said it was fine but thats the doctor that wanted my tonsils removed.
How can I avoid thyroid diseases?
My mother has just got thyroid disease hypofunction and high chlosterol level. I don't wanna get thyroid diseases and diabetes and such problems as people get when they get older. What is your healthy plan to avoid these problems and be healthy? what to eat and what not to eat?I am 25 and I almost do workouts everyday and drink green tea and lots of water and fruits. But sometimes I eat processed foods such as cookies and biscuits and these kinda delicious foods
Undiagnosed, and untreated thyroid disease symptoms?
My mom, her two sisters, her mom, her sisters kids my cousins all have some sort of thyroid disease, it's only the youngest and newest addition girls in the family that have not yet been diagnosed with some form of thyroid disease. I started loosing hair and feeling gravely depressed when I was 11. When I was 11 I also started my period, my very first one was very painful, made me sick, it was very heavy and I clotted for the first few days. My periods were like this and lasted for two weeks before finally giving me a break. My mom took me to the doctors for my hair loss, I had blood tests done I can't even remember what they were but when they came back my doctor told me my iron was a little low, but that's all that showed on the results. He said my depression and stress was probably what was contributing to my hair loss. I'm 23 now, and haven't been to the doctors since then, except for an occasional physical for employment. My symptoms have increased since then, and only now have I realized that they are symptoms of thyroid disease. My symptoms include, I'm tired most of the time I have a hard time falling asleep, staying asleep, or falling back asleep when I've woken in the middle of the night. I get occasional ringing in my right ear I have dry bumpy and or scaly skin on my arms, parts of my back, my neck, sides of my thighs and on my buttocks. I am depressedI have a terrible time concentrating or staying on topic, as well as memory problems.I am overweight and am having a really hard time gaining the bodily and emotional energy it requires to exercise my toes are 80 percent of the time coldI sweat 24 7 but only in my underarms, private areas and under my breastsI used to have an increased menstrual flow, but now I've been so light, I can only see very little pink on toilet paper when I wipe, and some months I go without a period which is a huge change from how my periods used to be. But whether they're light or heavy, I get terrible cramps in my ovarian area.I am extremely irritable, and my emotions are all over the place one second happy the other sad...I feel anxious and nervous, and can never stand still for longmy hands shake for a couple days after any sort of exerciseI have had panic attacks and nervous breakdownsI have frequent bowel movements, which are usually loose my appetite is outrageous my blood pressure always used to be low, but with a fast heart rate, now its high with an even higher heart ratei get to where i feel that i hate myself at least a few times a month, and its taking a terrible toll and making my depression worsei get light headed and i get dizzy every time i use the elevator at worki have very little desire to do anything but lay in bedi have a puffy face, although i am overweight, but i lost a good deal of weight once before and even then my face stayed puffyim snoring more latelyI have developed carpal tunnel syndromeThings that I have going on with me, that I'm not sure have anything to do with thyroid diseases are my butt cheeks stay cold all the time, even if I've been laying in bed for hours on them, my knuckles and toes have been bothering me, my breasts are swollen and tender no matter what time of the month it is, ive developed a cough that wont go away, my inner right ear itches and swells, goes away and then itches and swells again, my inner right ear tends to hurt sometimes too.... and i've read that a loss in sex drive or no sex drive can come from hypo, but i have an increased sex drive, like want it all the time, could that be a symptom too?but so basically ive been all kinds of jacked up, and my symptoms keep piling, but i never thought about thyroid until recently when my memory has been foggy. I've been trying to conceive and with my missing periods and sore breasts I was searching to see if a foggy brain was a symptom too, and then i came across thyroid symptoms. and now that ive had them laid out in front of me i realize how bad ive felt, well i guess i always new, but i put it in the back of my mind, and just lived with it all, but im getting too depressed, too forgetful, and i only ever sleep well with a sleep aide, and its all becoming too frustrating, and too much to live with. I get insurance with my new employer this month and will be going to the doctors, but what im wondering until then is, if ive had these symptoms for so long, and it turns out i do have some form of thyroid disease, what sort of things could of by now gone wrong with my thyroid gland, or other parts of my body by now. I mean.... I've gone undiagnosed and untreated for so long, what could this mean for me? any one know from experience?
