    I also may have thyroid issues but these are yet to be confirmed as I have only had TSH and Free T4 tested. In both cases Free T4 was very similar however in May 06 my TSH was 1.170. I have just been tested again and my TSH was 2.110. Although I am not sure I don't know that it should move this much over 7 months?

    Got my Celiac bloodtest results back today and everything is normal. Now I just have to figure out which path to take.

    Its good to hear I am not the only one experiencing this, although I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Anyway I should get celiac bloodtest results in a couple of days. As I see it I will be going gluten-free no matter what the results. I highly doubt I will get positive results so I will probably true going gluten-free for a short period of time and see what happens...

    Lets just say I am definetely not overweight. In fact I am very skinny and struggle to put on weight. Thats why I am struggling to understand it. I sweat a lot, get flushed and very hot easily; yet I am skinny and get told I look fit. Its very frustrating since I can't get my head around it and I have been like this for many years.

    Now I really struggle in heat, and since it is summer here in australia I feel some what limited in what I can do. When I get into a hot car I flush, sweat and feel extremely uncomfortable due to the heat. Basically I am intolerant to heat. I can walk around in winter in shorts and tshirts and often dont feel cold. I understand that heat intolerance can...

    Quick Question. I went to see my doc yesterday and he was hesitant in getting me tested for celiac because I don't have Diarrhea. Instead I experience the opposite, C on a daily basis. Based on some of the threads I have read I was wondering if Diarrhea is a true indicator of Celiac, or is it still possible to have Celiac without it?

    Hi Lisa Best of luck with your goal for 2007. My new years resolution is the same, improve my health and work out why I feel this way.

    I am finding this to be a very interesting thread. The reason being that I have been fighting anxiety and depression for years. I have tryed natural approaches and medication but I have never found myself truly getting it under control. Due to the number of other issues I have (constipation,heat intolerance,flushing,etc), I am now beginning to think that...

    Hmmm I had McDonalds last night, but it will probably be the last time I have that for a while. Not due to comments but rather if I go gluten-free.

    Sorry I don't have any advice at this time as I am trying to work out if I have gluten/thyroid issues. However, I am interested to hear what symptoms you were suffering from that were miraculously improved by going gluten-free?

    Its interesting this was brought up. The first thing I looked for recently when joining was an Introduce Yourself area. No doubt depends on available resources for maintenance but could be worth while.

    I am into Mountain Biking. Just got back from a ride (pretty much all on road though). I don't follow races too much but apparently us Aussies do alright, downhill in particular.

    Thanks for those resources. What i have noticed at stopthethyroidmadness is the emphasis placed on hypothyroididm. GIven that I experience heat intolerance, inability to put on weight (and other symptoms) I would have been leaning more towards hyperthyroidism. Therefore wouldn't this also mean that Armour would cause more harm than good? However I experience...

    Hey georgie I am from Geelong here in VIC. My Free T4 and TSH was previously tested at PathCare so I would assume they also accomodate Free T3, thyroid antibodies and celiac testing. Yep last time I asked for the paperwork as I was pretty unhappy when I was told results were normal. I had convinced myself my thyroid was the problem. Having had some symptoms...

    Thanks for the excellent replies Kaycee and georgie, they were very informative. georgie I am from Victoria. Now I am a little confused. When I go to the doctors should I ask to be tested for Free T3,Free T4, TSH, antibodies and celiac? Can all these be tested easily?

    Good luck Jerry. I am thinking of following a similar path as yourself. Will be great to hear how things go for you.

    I have just looked up the results from my previous test for thyroid issues. Here is what it states: Thyrotropin (TSH): 1.170. I think the normal range is specified as 0.3-4.0. Free T4: 18.4 9.0-26.0(range i assume again) As I mentioned in my previous message I was told these results are normal so no further action was taken. Are these results normal...

    Thanks for the feedback Ursa. I thought I may have had a thyroid problem a while ago and was tested. Apparently my results were normal so I never took any further action. At the time I actually thought I may have had hyperthyroidism (i think thats what its called) since I seem to be intolerant to heat. If anything I would say my body temperature is above...

    Hi. For several years I have felt like something is wrong with me but I never knew what. I have suffered from anxiety and depression which are the main symptoms I have been treated for. I haven't been able to make any noticeable improvements on these and could never work out why? So basically I am looking at whether I am intolerant to particular types...
