Overactive thyroid?
I have an appointment today
with an Endocrinologist. Blood
tests have already shown that
my thyroid is overactive. What
do you think the doctor will
do? I have a friend who had an
overactive thyroid and she had
this treatment that made her
swell up. Do you think they'll
put me on medication? Is there
a chance that they might just
leave me be?

Overactive thyroid (thyrotoxicosis) is 8 times more common in women, so the chances are you are female. Good afternoon, Madam! The usual treatment depends on the severity and the cause. 1. A drug such as carbimazole (I have not heard of it leading to weight gain OR water retention). 2. An implant of a radioactive iodine pellet in the thyroid gland to destroy part of it. 3. An operation to remove a part of the thyroid gland (partial thyroidectomy). This involves a small risk of the parathyroids (present within the thyroid) being removed inadvertently, which would result in hypocalcaemia (low blood Ca+ levels), although unlikely. TAKE THE ADVICE OF THE ENDOCRINOLOGIST (these are highly trained doctors, who are specialists in their field, and no amount of internet research can bring you close to them). Hope this helps. For more info, please IM. |

What treatments work best for My son is 12 and dealing with
an overactive thyroid with
severe weight loss. He may
also be showing small signs of
Graves Disease with leg
rash/itching. I am meeting
with the doctor next week, but
I wanted to have some info on
treatments before we go.
(serious answers only,
please!)
What about Beta Blockers?
What kinds of food should he
eat?

If he does have it, it would be strange. It usually affects people much older than him. But it's good that you're catching it now, if he does have it. They have different treatments available. I had Grave's in the early 80's and opted to have the gland removed. Now I suffer from hypothyroidism. Which I think is worse in many ways. Regardless of the treatment, you'll have to make sure he is monitored for the hypo after wards. Former President Bush & Barbara Bush had Grave's and they both had the radiation treatment. Both seem to be fine. I wish you luck.... PS Yeah.... one person mentioned Prozac.... And depression is a big part of having hypothyroidism. Make sure he is well disciplned and has a strong work ethic... those two things will help him down the road. |

Will I get my hair back after I am female and have excessive
hair loss in the past few
months. I was just diagnosed
with an overactive thyroid. My
question is, after I start
treatments will I start
getting back some of the hair
that I've lost. Is there also
any way I can regulate this
without taking meds?

There is no other way to regulate this. It will probably lead to having your tyroid removed. After treatment you should get your hair back. It just a temp. condition. good luck. |
