I have a tumor on my pituitary gland. I was really upset about it for a few years cause it was growing and I was unsure if my symptoms were from the tumor or the hashi's. The Docs I saw for the tumor all told me it was nothing and to forget about it. I always though they were wrong about that but I will bring this info up at my next endo app.

Yes, a tumor is exactly what I wanted to write but I didn't want to alarm you. Don't get worried though, through my research, I have found that these types of tumors are quite common and often resolve on their own. However, they can cause issues with hormones, so don't let them dismiss that.

So... I thought I was OK on T4 but couldn't get back to feeling right after I had to have my dose increased again. I'm on T4 and cytomel now and it's definitely a little better than just T4. I'm glad you started this thread, as it's peoples stories here that made me willing to approach my doctor.

I have to say that I really don't like Synthroid at all. Every time I had to increase my dose I would feel horrible. My hair would fall out, horrible acne, my body would hurt and I just felt like crying all the time. I would decrease the dose and those symptoms would disappear. I gave up trying for a while and just excepted that I was going to feel like poop for the rest of my life and there was nothing I could do about it. Then I tried cytomel and it did wonders for me. I am not where I should be yet and I haven't found the right combination, but I have hope now and I didn't have that before. Living with autoimmune diseases is a frustrating battle for me. Celiac is easy cause all you have to do is avoid gluten (I don't care what any of you say....that is much easier than taking pills, seeing doctors, getting bloodwork all the time, ect.) Searching for answers is tiring and some of the docs I have seen have been a complete waste of time and money. They need to invent some kind of machine that can scan your body....find the problems....and fix them!

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
