TEST YOUR THYROID KNOWLEDGE

Time for the "Did you know" on our thyroid board.

I will start :

Did you know that having Hashimoto with high titer of thyroid antibodies (TPO) you can have positive ANA's without having another autoimmune disease? (of course the probability is higher).

Tell your quack of an endo that when you hold a pillow firmly over his/her face while he/she is sleeping that it could be considered "thyroid induced sleep apnea" too.     ;->

Did you know that many, many endocrinologists don't know beans about thyroids?

Did you know that just because a certain type of thyroid cancer may be called "non hereditary" you can still get it all throughout your family??



(BTW ChitChat - some intoxicated men in sleazy bars also offer to check you thyroid - and other parts - but I'd rather see an endo)   LOL!!!

Nice follow-up, Kitty.


Did you know that being severely hyperthyroid leads to fatty deposits in your muscles and youtube has a video of a song called 1985 by a group called Bowling For Soup that is pretty cool. If you're into rock.

Working off of AR's theme:

Did you know that sometimes mild hypothyroidism can be reversed if Adrenal Insufficiency is treated?

And if Adrenal Insufficiency is present with hypothyroidism, an adrenal crisis can occur if the patient is not treated with hydrocortisone before levothyroxine.

Did you know..........

1. That stress has a HUGE impact on your Thyroid?

2. That if you're lucky (like I was), you can find people like Stella, AR-10, 898, Graveswoman and many others on this forum who will tell you to get a 2nd opinion when your first Endo wants to ablate your thyroid without letting you try ATD's first?  These people saved me, and I am eternally grateful.

Did You know That ........................


5-10% of all pregnancies will result in PPT (Postpartum Thyroiditis). It is possible that Postpartum Depression may be related to decreased thyroid functioning after pregnancy.
