not asorbing oral thyroid
by kekdahl, Jul 17, 2008 12:17PM
I was diagnosed with papillary multi focal/hurtle cell carcinoma in march 2008. I have always had normal thyroid counts. I am not able to absorb oral thyroid. I do not absorb b-12, vit d, and DHEA. I have a collagen disorder..Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and I was told that i might be missing carrier proteins. Recently, i was also told that i am showing early signs of MS.
Anyone know of medical literature regarding inablility to absorb oral thyroid. my latest blood work shows my tsh at 68
I was told that t-4 in available IM but am still trying to research this. I haven't been told if i am in remisssion after my radioactive iodine treatment. Current symptoms are weight loss, feeling of being cold, one extremity ice cold another warm, i lose feeling in one leg or one foot, no side favortism. Just really strange. I also have 3 lesions in my frontal lobe(no explination for those.
thanks

There is t-4 available IM and SC., IM is better then SC (subcutaneous) because of pain during SC administration. I know an article in portugal about a rare case of malabsortion of Thyroid hormones. Acta Med Port 2004; 17:487-491. From Military hospital in Lisbon by E. Lacerda Nobre. The paper is written in Portuguese.
