Does symptomatic depression caused by Hashimoto's Thyroiditis have to be treated independently of Hashi's?

---

Are separate meds usually prescribed, or does the depression usually clear up over the course of treatment?
Hello, I'm a doctor. Use alprazolam. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to ----> http://treatment-table.notlong.com/?q=alprazolam&qid=20090611205630AAAqb2j  (+ info)

Has anyone know of a treatment for HASHIMOTO THYROIDITIS?

---

If anyone knows of any type of therapy for this disease, whether is alternative medicine or diets, I would really appreciate your info. The doctor says there's nothing that can be done until she's ready to take thyroid medicine but I am hoping there my be something out there that could help. THANK YOU
there are alternative ways for treatment of such diseases and many people have been succesfully cured using this alone.

Foods that depress thyroid activity are broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, spinach, turnips, soy, beans, and mustard greens. These foods should be included in the diet for hyperthyroid conditions and avoided for hypothyroid conditions.
• Avoid refined foods, sugar, dairy products, wheat, caffeine, alcohol.
• Essential fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and necessary for hormone production. Take 1,000 to 1,500 mg flaxseed oil three times per day.
• Calcium and magnesium help many metabolic processes function correctly. Calcium and magnesium must be present together in sufficient quantities, or the body can't use either. The optimal ratio is 3 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium. Never supplement calcium without also supplementing magnesium, because if you do so, the body will actually use its stored Mg to try and process the supplemented Ca, the end result of which is that the body actually depletes its stored calcium reserves because the Mg holding it in place was taken away trying to process the supplemented Calcium. If you think about it, all the extra calcium added to foods and drinks these days only results in us having lower calcium levels overall - due to the Mg not being supplemented... not good, not good at all! So, if you supplement Ca, make sure to supplement 1/3 as much Mg at the same time. 1000 mg of Ca needs 334 mgs of Mg; 1500 mgs of Ca needs 500 mgs of Mg.

Regardless of which alternative treatment you decide to use, thyroid function needs to be carefully evaluated and is likely to need specialist medical advice. Some people have had great success using only alternative medicine, while others must utilize a combination of alternative and conventional medicine.  (+ info)

any softer remedy to thyroiditis, inflamation due to medical treatment. ?

---

finally its its not hypothyroid but thyroiditis. inflamation of thyroid (due to an interferon treatment now ended)
If I dont act quickly with softer or alternative remedy I ll have to get on the hard and slippery slope of synthetic hormones, blood test says only problem is high TSH, T3 T4 are ok.
physical symptoms are real ennoying.
thanks to any sensible advice.
You need to be tested to see what is really going on with your body. The thyroid is part of the endocrine that is a system of complex relationships. When you have a problem with one of the endocrine organs, it affects ALL the others. The TSH hormone comes from your pituitary gland that gets it's commands from the Hypothalamus gland that is part of the endocrine "feed back loop." If you focus just on the thyroid gland, you are only focused on a symptom and this is what doctors and the medical profession is trained to do. Their answer will be to treat the thyroid because that is where the symptom is coming from, but that will not solve the problem, only put a band aide on and not get to the "root cause." Your original problem, thyroiditis may be due to what is called Hashimoto's disease. The medical people will tell you that it is not from infection, but inflammation. lol. The "itis" at the end of the word thyroiditis means "infection." There are many things that can cause this problem. The so called "autoimmune" problem basically says that your body is producing antibodies that are attacking the thyroid tissue.

If you believe that your body would just start making antibodies for "some reason" and then attack your thyroid for "some reason" and that the only thing you can do is take hormones, you will not be fixing the "root cause" and you will have to live with the so called "side effects" of all this for the rest of your life.

Personally, I believe you need to find the "root cause" and make your body healthy. The thyroiditis was a "result" not "the" problem.

There are many things that can cause this problem and I suggest you find a good Certified Nutritional Therapist that understands QRA testing to find the source of infection(s) in your body. Once you find that, you can focus on making your body healthy. Most likely you are also very iodine deficient. If you are not allergic to iodine, I suggest you do a simple test to determine that. Get a bottle of "tincture of iodine" and paint a patch about 2" x 3" on your forearm or on your chest. Note the time of day. Watch it throughout the day and note the time when it disappears. It should be visible after 24 hours. If it is gone in a few hours, you are very deficient in iodine. This is very common now in the U.S. due to all the Fluoridation and fluoride products being sold. Fluorine depletes the body of iodine. When this happens, glands dependent upon iodine as it's primary mineral will "ENLARGE." The thyroid is one such gland. Also the thyroid absorbs heavy metals very well because it is a very soft gland. Mercury is a huge problem for it.

I would first look to your teeth for the primary source of the infection to your thyroid or any scars or traumas to your head area next. ALL amalgam fillings, root canals, and extractions or traumas to the teeth create huge infection problems for the body. Dentists are not your friend most of the time. Many of the chemicals they use, procedures cause many problems like this for the body.

good luck to you  (+ info)

Which autoimmune disease causes Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?

---

I know I have an auto-immune disease caused by mono and related to EBV, but what's the name of the immune disorder itself?
Hashimoto's thyroiditis IS the autoimmune disease itself. It is caused by the body attacking itself. Go here:

Difference between hashimoto's thyroiditis and subacture thyroiditis?

---

I understand that subacute can be set off by a viral infection that triggers T-cells which attack the thyroid gland after the infection has been killed, but I don't really understand hashimoto's thyroiditis and the difference between these two forms of thyroiditis.

thanks in advance...
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is caused by antithyroid antibodies and is an auto-immune disease. It is presented with hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) and is painless. This is a permanent situation. This type of thyroidism requires thyroid replacement therapy. Some of the symptoms include the following: fatigue, constipation, weight gain, dry skin, and poor exercise tolerance. Thyroid replacement therapy would be for a lifetime. The biggest difference between the two is that the actual thyroid gland would be enlarged.

Subacute thyroiditis is a viral infection. It originally looks like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, except that it is painful. Additionally, the infection usually dissipates within 12-18 months. Only 5% of those individuals fall into a category whereby permanent hypothyroidism remains. Additionally, as long as the disease goes away in that time frame, it rarely ever reoccurs. Thyroid replacement therapy is generally give for only 6-12 months to see if the Thyroid functions normally after that.

Hope this helps.  (+ info)

What are the main causes of THYROIDITIS and why it happens? Can anybody help me with the home remedy for the T?

You would have to know if you are HYPERthyroid or HYPOthyroid. That makes a big difference in you course of treatment.  (+ info)

Anyone out there with Hashimoto's thyroiditis on Armour? What dose works for you? How are you doing?

---

Hair was breaking off, aches and pains, swelling. Feeling a little better this week. How did you do? Do you still have fatigue?
I don't have hashimotos but I am hypothyroid. I take levothyroxine( pretty much the same as Armour) for my issue. It will take about a month for you to feel better. I had the same symptoms as you, I could barely get up the gumption to shower. Now I have tons of energy and have lost 40 pounds so far. My dose is 2mg a day, my dr keeps it a bit high as I had thyroid cancer and the higher dosage stops other nodules from growing. Take care!  (+ info)

Is lymphedema associated in some way with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, fibromyalgia, or compartment syndrome?

---

I have all four of the following conditions and am looking for a link between them. All of my specialists have no idea. I'm 25 and this all occured after pregnancy 19 months ago. Please help!
Hi there, alot of lymphedema patients have thyroid problems and fibromyalgia. Recently there was an article called "unlocking the lymph" and also another one about fibromyalgia that made a general link to linking them together. We all as patients have wondered the same thing. Compartment syndrome involves the muscles, as you may or may not know, muscles contractions move lymph so there is somewhat of a link there. You may be one of the people who was genetically prone to lymphedema (primary) and the pregnancy was enough stress on the body to bring it out. Most specialists and doctors are not that well versed in lymphedema unfortunately, and there is not yet alot of research in the field of lymph disorders, lymphology and lymphedema. We hope to change that! We're working on it.  (+ info)
