Can anyone please explain to me why my thyroid glows really red and you see the full outline of it. My sister had her Thyroid removed due to cancer and she is baffled by it herself. The picture doesn’t give it justice to how red it goes
This can feel hot internally within throat also as externally too. Causing a blazing sensation of heat rising towards my skull but stops there. Has anyone any ideas why this would happen or what would cause this to glow red seeing the whole butterfly effects name sake. This isn’t itchy in any way either on top of a hoarse voice more days than none.
Thanks all in advance who might have an answer for me as a man I see from reading the thyroid problems effect’s women more than men. This is baffling to me and don’t know what to do. I had paid for a private test before and was told that’s rubbish. That in last few years this was wrongfully dismissed as rubbish wrongly.

This explains the brittle nails, that flake etc…
Free T3 2.6L this was outside normal range 2.8-6.5 pmol/L
It’s not immune as those are in green zones for both.
Feeling I know my levels should be higher than they are I asked if I had no MS and all the medicines I’m on what would my real levels of Thyroid be? No one answers because these are really low explains lots of issues I have. That Dr’s. Use MS as problem for them is easy solution to use. As all these could be MS is wrong thinking from many Dr’s. As I feel these issues are causing pain I never had before. Since my MRI’s have been stable with three lesions in 7 years is damn awesome considering other personal issues among that I had to deal with including diverticulitis having one extremely bad attack put me in hospital.
also I forgot to mention I have a 12 mm Pineal cyst seen since 2013 not 2005. Two spinal cord lesions 1.7 cm in size and one .7 mm in size beside each other nearly.
Could the cyst be causing peripheral damage to keeping warm in a warm home.
People with thyroid disease are usually said to be 90% female. In fact most autoimmune diseases are majority female, although I doubt the female percentage is the same for every autoimmune disease.
I am under the impression that autoimmune diseases in general are getting more common than they used to be. I am also under the impression that more men are joining this forum now than was true when I first joined in 2013.
Just for info, you might find this list of interest :
Some diseases are thought likely to be autoimmune but this hasn't been confirmed yet in all cases.
I read once a few years ago that over 70,000 substances and materials are now fed to people in food and medicines or are used in clothing or are used in farming or exist in soil and the atmosphere than there were in 1950. This could be one reason for the rise in autoimmunity.
Here’s link for how to request Thyroid U.K.list of private Doctors emailed to you, but within the email a link to download list of recommended thyroid specialist endocrinologists
Ideally choose an endocrinologist to see privately initially and who also does NHS consultations
