don't know if I have asked this?

[anbuma]

does anyone with thyroid problems have constant pelvic pain and protein in hteir urine?i was told I had protein in urine and alopecia but not why?

[Parbrook]

Protein in the urine could be an indication of renal failure.

I had this for many years before eventually being referred to a renal consultant, by which time my renal function was around 20%.

With appropriate diet and medication, my renal function has been stable for several years.

I suggest that you get a full renal function test as soon as possible.

[anbuma in reply to Parbrook]

I assume adrenal glands are attached to kidneys?alopecia ahs to be thyroid??

It is there, you have to click on the arrows on the right hand side, it sometimes takes a few seconds to work.

[shaws Administrator in reply to bantam12]

Sometimes the arrows are at the left and sometimes the right. I have no idea why they change place.

[bantam12]

I only get them on the right, strange indeed.

The protein in the urine could be cystitis which the doctor should treat as it can turn into a nasty kidney infection.

There is no treatment for alopecia but im sure it is characteristic of hypo as there are many of us here with hairloss. I like to see some positives i dont really have to shave my legs but i understand the stress if the hairloss is on the head/eyebrows.

[anbuma in reply to Duchy82]

I was given 3 days of antibiotics.

[Duchy82 in reply to anbuma]

Did they work? If not i would go back to your gp dont leave pelvic pain to linger. If it is cystitis you can also get yourself some cranberry tablets, holland and barrets do them for a reasonable price, to prevent cystitis or there is d-mannose which could work but a lot dearer from amazon.

As you can probably tell i suffer quite a bit with it i don't think its hypo related necessarily but women do suffer with it quite regularly as the urethra is quite short making it easier for bacteria to enter the bladder it is also more common in diabetics.

[anbuma in reply to Duchy82]

I am not sure-quite disabling. have an appt on 7th.surely the dr I saw should have said what it could be without me having to ask every time?

[Duchy82 in reply to anbuma]

I definitely warrants further investigation if you're not sure if the abiotics worked they probably haven't if you are still in pain it definitely need sorting that's no way to live.

[anbuma in reply to Duchy82]

lost eyebrow hair middle last year .thought it must be somethign dr said its nothing.

[anbuma in reply to Duchy82]

hairloss = thyroid?

[Duchy82 in reply to anbuma]

It can definitely be a symptom of hypothyroidism although i didn't notice that i had lost quite a bit of hair on my head (i have fine hair but lots of it) i certainly noticed when it started growing back when my dose of levo was right

Hi,What do your U`s and E`s look like,kidney function. Most important one is eGFR not a range, ideally should be above 60 very low, ie mine is 25, very bad!If you wish to send them to me, I will be happy to look. protein can also be Diabetes, Hb1Ac test, best, blood.meantime, have a high fluid level, important

.Best wishes,

jackie

[anbuma in reply to Jackie]

have to dig out my previous blood results.nurse did ask if I was diabetic.

[Jackie in reply to anbuma]

Hi Magic, just reappeared! Yes, you may have just had a fasting glucose test, not reliable.

best wishes,

Jackie

[anbuma in reply to Jackie]

cant find them just now /.will hunt for them tomorrow

[anbuma in reply to Jackie]

hi Jackie hunted high and low and couldnt find my blood results

[Jackie in reply to anbuma]

You obviously have not had them recently then. I would ask for retests.With thyroid disease a lot of them should be done annually any way.

I keep every thing in files, lots, bloods in one draw, often worth referring to them,

Jackie

[anbuma in reply to Jackie]

I have them altogether but think i must have shredded those results.

[anbuma]

dr prescribed me two meds at last visit ,I thought one was a shampoo or somethign fro my scalp and the pharmacy said they would ahve to order it.3 weeks on and still not got it..went in today and said have they got it yet-no a manufacturing problem.tehn I showed them a ticket I had fro meds owed (tablets)and they said that was the one they couldn't get,looked the name up on the internet and thye were for bladder -so what did he give me fro my scalp?

[Jackie in reply to anbuma]

hi I would ask the pharmacist what it is. Also ask if they can obtain anything similar, or they get back to GP?It is probably just something to make your bladder less sensitive, not very good and not the answer if a real cause.
