I think the doctor was making up his own word when he said thyroiditis. I will
check out Wilsons temperature syndrome. Thanks.

Hi Faith,
Was it you that said you had thyroiditis? The "itis" part of the thyroiditis
in medical terms means inflammation, or inflammation in the thyroid. I am not
sure what would cause inflammation there.
For the low body temperature you could google Wilson's temperature syndrome.
There is some kind of a protocol for that.
I am feeling okay. I just am taking less of the Armour now.
Hope you didn't get too much damage from the hurricane. Take care,
Paula

Hi Paula:
Yes, I still have my thyroid. Today someone told me that the body will
attack and kill the thyroid which is why some people have to take thyroid meds.
I do not understand this, but this is not the first time I have heard this.
It seems odd to me.
I diagnosed my own thyroid problem in a way, because I read that if your
normal body temperature is low ( mine is 96.6) this was indicative of a thyroid
problem and the usual blood test would not disclose it.. So I had my blood
drawn and sent to a lab in California for a different test and the results said
that I do have a thyroid problem
After that it was a problem getting on the right thyroid med. I guess it
has been a problem for 11 years. But I know that I feel lousy after a few days
without levoxyl. And I am now wondering if I've had a thyroid problem all my
life and did not know it.
The lower dose seems to be working for me right now, but I will
investigateThytropin PMG and Prolamine Iodine.
I really do not know whether my thyroid is sluggish or overactive. All I
know is that I feel lousy without the medication.
I get a lot of exercise working in and around my house, but I like to walk
and I try to do it as often as time and weather permits. I'll be getting a lot
of exercise cleaning up my yard after the remnants of Hurricane Noel.
Last night around 8pm rhe high winds sent a neighbor's huge rotten pine
tree crashing through the roof and ceiling of one of the rooms of my house.. I
heard the crash and walked into a room filled rain and wind, falling insulation
and insulation dust and a tree branch protruding from the ceiling. Five
minutes later the lights went out and stayed out the rest of the night. Life
is an adventure.
