Anyone out there with a history of Hashimotos thyroiditis? sm
Posted By: having questions on 2007-02-19
In Reply to:
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos nine years ago while pregnant with my daughter. I also ended up with Bells palsy and numerous other problems--almost all endocrine related. I was on synthroid for a few years and then went into remission. I have recently been feeling so tired and run down, dry skin, hair starting to fall out, ect. At first I chalked it up to just being somewhat depressed since my mother recently passed away, but then I remembered the Hashimotos thing. I went to the doc for a cold and asked to have the thyroid checked. This doc is aware of my history, but did not treat me initially when I first had the Hashimotos. He only checked a TSH and that came back fine. If I am remebering correctly I had to have full thyroid panels done and antibody testing the first few years. I am wondering if this doc missed doing more testing and should I just skip him and go to an endocrinologist? If anyone has experience with Hashimotos I would like to hear what kind of testing and things you have to do. Thanks for any help or insight.

Truly A Day for the History Books
DH replaced the empty toilet paper roll last night.
In the 32 years we have been together, this is the first time I can remember him replacing a roll. Please don't tell anyone else because they would probably kick him out of the He Man Club, which all men who don't replace rolls (and that would be 99% of them) secretly belong to.
This is one of those days where, years from now, I will think back about what I was doing when I discovered it. (Sort of like people do with other significant historical events.)
In my world, this is at least as big as discovering a cure for cancer, landing a man on the moon, or discovering life in outer space, so I just wanted to share the good news with you - because, ladies, it proves that there is hope for the rest of you!
history is my comfort

There are several to watch and I enjoyed them very much!
You were just ahead of your time!
Checking Your Man's History Because
In Internet Explorer web browsers:
To just check history, click on the top left area of the browser window where it shows a yellow star. You'll see three choices toward the top of that menu: Favorites, Feeds, and History. Click on History. You'll see everything stored there since the last time the history was cleared.
Now, if you want to set the computer to save the History longer than it's saving it already (for example, you don't see anything from last week, but you wish you could see it next week when you come back again...) Do this:
Top Right of your browser window, you'll see the word "Tools". Click on it, and there's a drop-down menu. Look at the very bottom of the menu, and you'll see the words "Internet Options" Click on that. You'll see a pop-up box with different stuff in it. The second one down is browsing history. Click on "settings" within that section and then look at the bottom of the new pop-up box. You'll see a thing you can set to choose how many days to store in history. Change that number to show however frequently you want to check his history. If you want to check his history once per week, set it to 10 days, to give yourself a little leeway in getting back to it.
If your Man is being sneaky and deleting his history, there isn't much you can do about that without installing Spyware on the computer. If the computer is his alone or provided through his employment, you're risking privacy laws to spy on him. If it's a family computer, then you're using it too, and you should have a right to view the history on it.
if they had read their history books, they would not need to ask..nm

History Channel and a turkey sandwich!
Every now and again I get WICKED insomnia myself...definitely stress related. It totally sucks too, I know what you're goin' through. Throws everything outta whack.
Tylenol PM works really well for me...just one tablet and I'm out for a minimum of 9 hours. Wine will make me sleepy but really just puts me out for a 2-3 hour nap. Otherwise, just my daily chores and typin' work is enough to make me want to be in bed by 7 and not get up until the alarm goes off at 5.
"They" say to set a schedule and try to stick to it. No naps during the day, and the bedroom is only for sleeping and, er, well no tv and no food anyway ;-) I also use a white-noise machine (actually just a fan that I affectionatly call "noisy fan") and have one of those Plug-Ins in a relaxing scent (lilac).
Being anal retentive, I find I can fall asleep easiest knowing that all the house stuff is done (dishes, laundry, coffee maker prepped, etc) and when I get up everything is clean and ready for the next day.
Good luck with it all...have the hot flashes hit yet?
Especially if you have a family history of breast cancer sm
You might even want to start earlier than age 40 with your mammograms. You can start at age 30 or 35 and have them every two or three years until age 40, and yearly after that. It is particularly important if members of your family have had breast cancer at an early age.
As a former x-ray tech, I can tell you that a mammogram should be no more uncomfortable than having your blood pressure taken, unless you are already having breast pain. Sometimes your skin can get pinched at an awkward angle under the pressure plate, and that will hurt. If that happens, TELL the mammographer immediately, and she will adjust it.
I did hundreds of mammograms while I was an x-ray tech. I always took a little extra time to smooth out the skin and try to make sure that my patients did not experience discomfort. Some patients had fibrocystic disease or other breast issues which made it painful no matter how careful I was. So I tried to work as quickly as I could to minimize the discomfort.
The point is, a mammogram should not be an unpleasant experience. The mammographer is a professional; you should feel no more uncomfortable exposing your body in a mammography room than you would in the examining room of your doctor's office. The mammographer wants your experience to be pain-free and as pleasant as possible; sometimes that may require some communication on your part.
But please, PLEASE have regular mammograms. It breaks my heart when I transcribe reports on young women in their 30s who have metastatic breast cancer. I always wonder how many children they will be leaving behind without a mother.
retired homemaker for social history -
most of us know that would mean dead!!! Like Social Security comes in and does the dishes for us?
Funny! I love the History Channel and...
Dirty Jobs and cannot imagine the drama of living with another woman. Have you not seen how much they complain?
If I knew there was a history of cheating on former wives,
then my opinion would be different. I think that once cheating occurs, it is more likely to be repeated in future relationships. Not saying that this is your case, but it would worry me.
So you can pinpoint her behavior change. What is her history before she came to you? nm
