The human thyroid gland stimulates the necessary hormones that control the metabolism of our cells.

Human’s thyroid gland verify our body to use energy by get rid of our blood’s iodine and uses for producing our thyroid hormones.

Hyperthyroidism are being caused where an overproduction of thyroid hormones are being produced consistently.

Well known symptoms might appear are fast heart beat, noticeable bowel activity, jumpiness (or restiveness) and fermentation.

High thyroid levels won’t be easy to recognize in the old women population through a blood test will diagnose and confirm immediately in case the levels are high but in many cases, it’s easy to see an enlarged thyroid gland.

It is advisable to see your doctor for proper diagnosis and possible treatment.

High thyroid levels not considered to be a common disease, but ignorance may cause a death.

Known treatments starts with supressive thyrostatics medication and permanent surgical, or in some cases radioisotope therapy as the next step.

Known medications stops the metabolism increase but they are not able to change the levels of the blood’s thyroid hormones.

In a case of surgery as a solution, that includes to completely remove the tyroid gland while during the surgery also trying to remove the thyroid tissue which responsible to the growth of the thyroid hormone.

A women from the United States used to complain her body hurts for over three years until she found a connection in her family to rheumatoid arthritis (familiour disease which is common in the women population) which her mother suffered from.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of autoimmune disorders on time might be critical since the damage the autoimmune disorders cause is irreversible.

Three-fourths of autoimmune disorders’s cases are women and leads as one of the top causes of death among teenagers and women over sixty five years old. Doctors assume that the focus in the women population are being caused by the hormones changes, especially in the childbearing years.

Autoimmune disease cells quickly attack healthy tissue but in when getting to cancer, it is slowly to fight which allows harmful tissue growing out of control.

People might disregard the disease but unlike what they think, this disease is not less dangerous than cancer or heart diseases.

Today’s knowledge indicates that vitamin D, smoking, toxins and genetics are the main factors for the cause of the disease while the treatment involves suppressing or destruction of the cells. The known pre-symptoms are vomiting or frequent hiccups and if the patient involves the doctor on time he may save his vision and preventing a situation of paralysis.

Nodules mostly do not have symptoms, people find them either by looking at the mirror or by touching their throat or by their doctor in a routine examination. Most of the nodules are very small (less than 1cm) but in some cases can reach over 5cm and even in that case, symptons might won’t appear at all.

The nodules are the most common disorder which occures in over fifty percent of the people which above fifty years old.
Most of the family doctors have the knowledge how to deal with thyroid nodules through endocrionlogists and endocrine surgeons handle such cases on full time basis. In rare cases they are being found by MRI, CT or ultrasounds scans of the patient’s neck due to different possible reasons.

In some cases, nodules may cause pain or swallowing difficulties in a case where the nodule is huge and prevent the passage of food and water through the espohagus.

The espohagus is located behind the trachea and thyroid.

In most cases, the thyroid nodules are benign, less than ten percent considered to be cancerous.

Still, there are some common symptoms that we would like to summarize:
* Pain over the throat
* A feel that the throat is full
* Troubles breathing
* Change in mood, heartbeat change, weight lost or hyperthyoidism (feeling tired or depressed, memory problems, feeling cold).

The diagnosis of thyroid cancer involve questions from your doctor about thyroid problems, Some of them are related to the exposure of nuclear radiation or radiation treatments.

Exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation known for couple of years as one of the causes which develops thryoid cancer and it might take over a decade until such exposure bursts. Back in the past, doctors used radiation from time to time as a treatment for recurrent tonsillitis.

The united states government claims that thyroid cancers which are being caused due to radiation levels will be easily found due to the high prognosis, they found no proof that children is located in higher risk group than others. In most cases the thyroid cancer is being curable.

Causes of a Goiter

Thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones by the iodine which we incur from different foods, a deficiency of iodine is one of the causes for goiter. Goiter is not the only cause for the thyroid gland to be unstable.

Goiter is also common in pregnant women due to the release of hormones before and during the pregnancy but in most cases it dissapears right after they give birth.

Hyperthyroidism means that the thyroid produces hormones over the necessary need which eventully leads to thryoid gland. One of the causes for hyperthyroidism is the grave’s disease which considers to be autoimmune disorder.

Hypothyroidism is the opposite case where the thyroid produces less hormones than the necessary need. One of the causes for hypothyroidism is the Hashimoto’s disease, as well as the grave’s disease – considers to be autoimmune disorder.

In rare cases nodules will be developed in both sides of the throat, such case is known as multinodular goiter which eventully will cause the increase of the thyroid gland.

Thyroid cancer is also one of the causes for goiter but it consider to be rare and curable.

There might won’t be a need to cure the goiter but it is always recommanded to consult with doctor to make the proper diagnosis.
Symptoms of a Goiter

Goiters won’t necessarily cause symptoms as long as they are small, once they grow they may cause uncomfortable symptoms such as: breathing difficulties, often swallowing, hoarseness, coughing or voice change.
Thyroid Goiter Treatments

The most common cure for the middle size (or small) goiters are the thyroid hormone’s pill. the result of such treatment leads to the decrease of TSH which eventully stabilize the gland’s size, this won’t decrease the goiter’s size but will stop it’s increasing. In cases were the pill won’t help, the patient will be directed to a surgery. If there’ll be no choice, it better to remove the thyroid as otherwise, it might disturb the trachea and esophagus to work properly. In most cases, the removal of the goiter due to cancer’s fear is indefensible.

In some cases, people removes their goiter due to cosmetic reasons.

Hashimoto disease which also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. The disease also known as autoimmune thyroiditis – meaning the immune of the body attacks the stable cells until the destruction of the gland. Large amount of white blood cells are being located in the thyroid. Hashimoto disease is a shape of common thyroid gland’s inflammation. the disease cause to a lack of production in the thyroid hormone for the body’s needs and considers to be the most common cause for the hypothyroidism in the united states but not for everybody.

Hashimoto’s known symptoms
The most common symptom is the increase of the thyroid in fron tof the neck, this called goiter and that will cause a feeling of fullness in the throat. Here’s a list of the common symptoms which may appear:

• Constipation
• Voice changes, such as persistent hoarseness
• Stiff and tender joints, particularly in the hands, feet and knees
• Cognitive changes, such as depression or forgetfulness
• Enlargement of the thyroid gland (goitre)
• In women, heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia).
• Fluid retention (oedema)
• weight gain
• fatigue
• heavy or irregular menstrual periods and impaired fertility
• High blood cholesterol
• Feeling the cold
• joint and muscle pain
• constipation
• depression
• Swollen face
• Sudden weight gain that cannot be explained by dietary or lifestyle changes
• a slowed heart rate
• dry, thinning hair
• Unrelenting fatigue

Who is likely to develop the Hashimoto’s disease
The disease is more common in women than in men, researchers believe above seven times more and much more common in women around fifty, environmental changes and inherited between generations which until today, scientists still works to find the genes which cause this allowed.

Hashimoto’s treatments
The possibility of recovery from the Hashimoto’s disease are very high, doctors will serve treatment in case where the thyroid is damaged enough and may lead to hypothyroidism, in such cases the goal would be the decrease the size of the goiter where other doctors may keep performing medical inhibitor, in all cases doctors will mentain blood tests to monitor the levels.
One of the treatments is based on the usage of synthetic thyroid hormone T4 which is much better than the T3 due to the fact that the body’s survivability is much longer.
Taking medication will probably be for lifetime which won’t be able to cure the disease but will mentain the current situtation and prevent deterioration.

Novo Nordisk, which considers as the largest manufacturer of insulin used in treat diabetes is the biggest casualty from consumer complaint about selling this drug. Novo Nordisk now sees Victoza’s sales under 10% expectations.

Victoza is the second diabetes drug which simulates the GLP-1 (release of insulin from the pancreas which cause to low concentrations of glucose in the blood).

Worried citizen

Worried citizens filled a petition with the FDA claim that Victoza may cause serious health problems which eventully leads to thyroid cancer, pancreatitis and kidney failure. They are based over hundreds of cases where people got ill related to this treatment.

the FDA checked over 4,000 patients before allowing Victoza in 2010 to pass the tests and spread it over the market but added warnings to the drug’s label.

Nordisk rejects all the arguments about Victoza and still considers to be the largest income (over $350 million per quarter) for the company.

Hair condition is one of the best indication about your heatlh status. When you suffer from thyroid disease, mental and physical stress, hormonally being changed or affected by different medications, its likely you’ll suffer from hair loss, the AAD claims that hair loss is a very common problem and thyroid patients suffer from this problem earlier than others.

Hair growth include 3 phases:

Anagen, Catagen and the last phase – Dormant. Hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism may cause the dormant (last phase) to stay much longer in this period than as usual. that leads to the stop of the hair growth and later on might even leads to hair loss.

Hormonally changes may cause hair stop growing at all. researchers claim that the change of testosterone to DHT is probably the cause for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism patients of losing their hair.

Most of thyroid patients claim that hair loss is one of the worst symptoms, in some cases that was the indication which eventually helped them to understand they are sick, in some cases of the thyroid, hair may also disappear from other parts of the body, like the eyebrows.

There are different ways to stop your hair loss in case of thyroid disease:
* Consult with a doctor – there are hair loss specialist which can indicate the real cause for hair loss is due to the thyroid disease
* After indicating the cause for hair loss is the thyroid disease, you may be patient and wait until it stops
* Thyroid drugs (such as levothyroxine) may also cause hair loss – be ensure thats not the cause for that
* Consider alternative treatments, such as: Green Tea, Polysorbate 80, Saw Palmetto, Vitamin B6, Zinc and others

It took years of suffering with various symptoms such as chest pains and high heart beats. The family’s doctor thought the cause is mitral valve prolapse, he recommended that I’ll see a cardiologist and so I did. The cardiologist wrote me subscription to additional drugs but from each day to another, my heart beta and chest pains got worse.

Long time diagnosys

Over 10 years I saw different doctors, each specialist in different fields, also did a lot of blood tests and there was no sign to a possibility of thyroid disorder. Every day became worse than the one before, the heart beats got worse, also the chest pains and later on new symptoms started to appear: I’ve started to gain weight, hair became thinning and my ankles got much swollen.

One day, while consulting with the salesman in the vitamin shop, he asked about thyroid tests which I’ve told him I already did and there was no sign for any thyroid disorder so he recommended that I’ll make some blood tests in four weeks period of time. While getting back to my cardiologist with this offer, he thought its irrelevant.

Took me some time but I’ve found a doctor who agreed to take this offer, the first blood test became normal but the second one was much off the charts which easily recognized it as the Graves disease through the symptoms weren’t the exact symptoms of classical graves disease.

The doctor immediately wrote me subscription for Propylthiouracil (also known as PTU) and after few weeks I was as good as new, all the symptoms were gone, heart beats came back to be normal and the chest pains were totally gone.

This is a story about a women who after she gave birth for the 4th time had an hair fall, it started right after she stopped breastfeeding. After situation got must worse, I’ve stopped using synthetic hormones which helped a little bit but than the hair started to fall. After recommandation I did a thyroid test and results got normal.

My sister recommanded that I’ll meet a friend of her who is natural pharmacist and after taking oral temperature tests for few days I’ve found unstable temperature (around 97.4 degrees).
The pharmacist wrote me subscription for Vitamin D, B12, DHEA-S and combination between T3 and T4 (done by selenium and zinc) and after a month my hair drop stopped.

Hair loss

About 95% percent of hair loss cases in women are related to thyroid problems and if you suffer from that, don’t be afraid to check your body temperature day after day just in case its an hidden thyroid problem which can easily be solved and save you from a lot of suffering.
