New photocopied Thyroid info I have just found amongst my own Medical papers....

[SAMBS]

....I don’t know who put newly copied info ionto my aperwork, most of the papers now relate to NHS not the French healthcare system as previously. Much of what follows is stuff we already know but there is some info I’ve never known or read about about before.

The new Information, whose source I can’t verify, but it makes sense to me, starts with a line saying

I hope your GP will do a Thorough Thyroid blood test :- i.e.

TSH T4, T3, Free T4=and Free T3, Plus Vitamin B12, Vit D, Vit D3 Iron, Ferritin and Folate. All 4 must be in their halfway ranges or your body cannot convert the T4 in Levothyroxine into the T3 your body needs.

It continued by saying “you may well have depleted your vitamin and mineral stores so taking a really good multi-vitamin before bed and at least 2000 mg vitamin C should start to help”

The thyroid gland is producing hormones, located at the base of the neck. It’s proper functioning, assessed by TSH provides the serenity of many organs and functions. A recent study suggests closer monitoring of the level of TSH, since even in the absence of specific signs of thyroid disease, it can provide I formation on the risk of cardiovascular mortality.

* About Thyroid Disorders and especially hyperthyroidism

* Low TSH levels suggests an increased risk of death within 5years. is under the control of the brain, Pituitary

The Thyroid Gland is more prone to malfunctions, it is under the control of the Brain and Pituitary which regulates its activity through a chemical messengerTSH. When it does malfunction it does not quite manufacture and when they, the glands malfunction ?they [? Parathyroids or ? Thyroid & Pitiitary, Sambs is not quite sure] they become adults, they are accompanied by a whole series of signs, allowing the doctor to then evoke the Hypo diagnosis. Hyperthyroid. Is harmful to the body, but especially for the heart which is well known to practitioners A new concept is that we should not expect the visible clinical impact to fear the complications of Thyroid hyper function.

A low TSH level suggests an Increased risk of death within 5years.

Here (?France) Indeed the conclusions of a work on nearly 2,000 people over 60 years, followed for 8 years, Subjects with TSH was low from the start, had a distinct disadvantage in terms of survival, compared to those whose levels were correct compared to those whose levels were normal or above. Mortality increases, whatever the causes, but the original cardiovascular death predominates.

At Easter this year 2017, my own UK GP requested all my French health records t i brought back with mr, to peruse over the weekend and beyond either he or someone in France, given the way some of the above is written, I could tell it was a French person translating to English.......before returning them to me! As said there is no verifiable by mr, indication of of source of info, but I have already seen the Endo 3 or 4times this year! It’s been the same one each time as well,

Also on some occasions when I’ve gone to GP for a repeat prescription or to ask/talk to him about my other several varied health conditions, almost as soon as I leave his office, another unknown Dr is ready to enter immediately- suggesting perhaps that they have been able to remotely listen to the GP consultation, and have gone in to discuss my visi

Wilson’s Temoerature Syndrome...

The 2nd newly copied sheet I found - Myth versus Fact and refers to Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome - followed by “This Fact sheet was developed to address Myths about WTS and provides facts about its History and relation to medically proven diseases. There is no medical proof that WTS is, in fact a real disease.

(WTS should not be co fused with WS, which is in fact a real medical condition that causes too much copper to build up in the body.

* E Dennis Wilson, M.D’s theory says that stress and illness results in a Hormone Imbalance that causes a lack of the Thyroid hormone T3 resulting in low body température and slow metabolism. This Theory is not supported by science

* his theory about MTS also subgests it is a cause of dozens of common complaints Such as fatigue, headaches, and depression.

Above and more about Wilson’s theory can be found can be found in full, on

Unfortunately it was produced on 2010 but the Orgsnisations’ websites may or not have been updated since then.

This kind of reminds me of something that happened to me years ago.

Doctors got my MRI scans mixed up with another patient whose name sounds similar to mine.

This person had really bad scoliosis and their spine was bent one way 90 degrees and the patient needed urgent surgery.

I do have scoliosis myself but it is a pretty mild case and my spine is slightly twisted near the neck, I think.

You would think that docs could see by looking at me that the MRI scans weren't mine as if they were mine I would appear bent over to one side!

It just shows that some of these "professionals" don't bother looking at the bigger picture.

What if the scans showed I had cancer and I was told that I could die in a few weeks. Then they finally find out they ballsed up and say "Oh sorry, we got the wrong scans".
