Does taking medication a half hour before food and coffee vs an hour before make a difference? Has anyone experimented with this?
I usually set my alarm clock, take the medication then go back to bed but I’ve been so bad with it lately and have been missing taking the medication
I saw Endocrinologist yesterday to identify any potential autoimmune condition like Hashimoto's, etc. I have been feeling exhausted (extreme fatigue), have gained weight, experienced hair shedding (loss of density), etc. He suggested more comprehensive blood work and not just Thyroid related.
Following is what he ordered
• Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody
• TSH
• CMP
• CBC, platelet & differential
• Lipid Panel
• vitamin B12
• iron TIBC and ferritin panel
• thyroid stimulating immuno-lats
• thyrotropin binding inhibitory immunoglobulin
• Lipoprotein(a) Cholesterol
• PSA, diagnostic
Is the above sufficient for the diagnosis of any potential autoimmune condition? What role Multinodular Goiter play in this? What are the causes of this expanding thyroid gland and best possible ways to address it? Thanks
Hi everyone!
I’d love to hear from anyone who has done a food-specific IgG antibody panel covering around 500 foods, often called an IgG food sensitivity test.
Did it help you identify foods that seemed to trigger your symptoms? After eliminating those foods, did you notice any improvement in how you felt or a reduction in your thyroid antibodies (anti-TPO or anti-Tg)?
If you noticed changes, which foods did you eliminate, and how long did it take? Were you also changing your medication, supplements, or anything else around the same time?
I understand that food IgG testing has limitations and isn’t considered a reliable diagnostic test for food intolerance, but I’m curious about people’s personal experiences, including whether it made no difference.
Thanks!
Guys I recently got diagnosed with hashimotos and the hair loss has been quite intense. Hair comes out in chunks and I think I’m gonna go bald. I’m freaking out cuz I feel like at this pace I’ll be bald by the time I’m 20. Please if u have any tips feel free to share.
My doctor won’t change my dose even though my antibodies went from 198 to 175. I feel like the medicine levo) is not helping my symptoms at all. What are some recommendations that may help me feel better.
