endo questions and answers

[elvera111]

Saw my endo

1. How can i improve my 2.8 ft3 that has range of 3.5 - 6.5

Ans Ft3 does not reflect your thyroid status

2. Did my pituarity scan show if it produced the hormons that is needed to stimulate my parathyroid

A. Parathyroid controls itself and has no reflection on pituarty

3. My acid levels are very high causing reflux GERD and Diverticulitus. Could this also be affecting my immune system

A Your protein bloods were fine so everything normal

4. TH1 and TH2 should be in balance do you know if one of mine is more dominant than the other

A Impossible to say

5. Have i had my bloods done for T and B Lymphocite, TPO and TGB antibodies dhea

A. No

6. Could my Churg Strauss Syndrome be rearing its ugly head again as my eosyphonils are very low

A. maybe we could test for that

With this he has dismissed me and said he would refer me to a pulmanologist.

Not all bad though as he did LOADS of bloods for me,

just had heart scan, going for lung exray today. Lets see if they find reason for air hunger.

Air hunger is a hypo symptom.

[smudger1 in reply to greygoose]

Greygoose. What is air hunger, please?

[greygoose in reply to smudger1]

It's the feeling that you can never quite fill you lungs with air. You always feel sort of oxygen. Sometimes, you take a huge, involuntary gasp of breath, sometimes you might stop breathing altogether.

ANS: Get an endo who understands the thyroid.

Post current meds and latest blood results for better advice

But he's right about parathyroid. I think you meant toask about relationship between hypothalamus, pituitiary and thyroid.
