Random and important thoughts (ROTD's) mixed together.
"Whatever you believe, or can conceive of, someone else thought it up first, believes it as well, and has a better Blog"
If the Thyroid is old, it could be weak, and punk TSH could rise too high.
Asshole Thyroids don't allow TSH at all and the machinery grinds to a halt because of the Thyroid being all Jabba-the-hut.
Basically I'm trying to say in a fun whimsical way that the way they talk about this stuff is ass-backwards.
Hyper: Scared TSH runs away (low)
HYPO TSH is taking over, being bullies (High)
Except (you already know this but maybe you think I don't)
Hypo is low, Hyper is High.
My OCD is killing me, High, low? What did I just write? (rereads)
Wait, I got it.
Weak dying fucking Thyroid, High TSH.
Overpowering full of piss-and-iodine, Low TSH.
(Unless it goes Nuts, then you need to feed it even more iodine)
Ok, OK, WTF?!!! How the HELL do I know which is which? Too much vs not enough?
For cryin out loud, I'll take the 99c store iodine-test thank you and skip your fucking BULLSHIT (O sorry, I haven't been well, care for a scone?)
I just looked at that whole "Thyroglobulin"-thing, it's sort of a "yellow alert" for Maybe-Tumors, maybe-iodine, maybe-something-else-I-can't-recall (I'll edit this)
I have lots more reading to do, but......Iodine appears to get the thyroid gland all excited, until it gets tired and goes to bed, and you gently die waste away.
Good idea to know how to tweak your thyroid for maximum performance, without burning it out, like some overweight doctor about to retire. If you just know how to Talk, the world is your oyster. "Indigestion?? Have you thought about eating Vitamin D? Many Parts ARE edible"
Or what I like to call "Tweaking your body for fun and profit" (have another biscuit)
Pretty women and tummies (and thyroids) I still say that the internet generally is biased towards kitties and goes on about sick women. Real men don't eat (much) or eat yogurt, let alone "Quiche" whatever it is. If you're looking for a famous internal illness (eg not an amputation) it's probably represented by a woman. Leaving a guy to wonder, "Is there something doubly wrong with me?," and of course the mere mention of the question, makes people snicker and guffaw. (Longest Picture-caption in history)
May I direct your kind attention to number 5, wherein it says
So, that's a good thing, right???
Males have a thyroid too, it's the Adam's Apple (WTF.)
A friend thought a Russian-teacher at his school was hot, and He seriously considered taking Russian lessons (or just skipping to the good part, asking her out).
He practiced his "Hello" endlessly and when the day came to introduce himself, he probably sounded better than the man on the language-tape recorder, as good as Dan Rather in Russia!
Problem was, it was the only word he really knew, and when she launched into a conversational speech, he was deeply embarrassed and ashamed of himself.
Quiet Down!! OKok, WHICH makes for Thyroids being slightly Hyper, without killing the accursed/wretched thing? Cmon, straight answer, dumping the hype ("Kelp fights cavities," o geez)
iodine lower tsh
iodine raise TSH
(The preceding sentences shoulda been google searches, but they look good here,
Yay, finally. Pulling TEETH, I swear. Taking a few right before tests might be very bad. (I'm just thinking)
Cut the shit, Dad. Iodine could make it worse, or better, you don't know (Do you?? Say it.)
BTW "Betadine" is a fancy form of Iodine, and if you're being TREATED with "Betadine" on a regular basis, it *could* affect your Thyroid-gland, I'm just saying.
In the presence of External Iodine, the Thyroid gland tweaks its own self (it is written.)
Ok but FORGET the thyroid, for a moment: It's not lazy, it's a hard worker that adapts to whatever fucked-up diet you're on.
Meaning, that you seriously need to find out what your Iodine-levels are.
Yes your Thyroid works hard, but it could go on vacation or quit.
Question: (meekly raising hand) Does Vitamin D have anything much to do with iodine-levels and Thyroid health? (IOW, that link thirty lines up, did it say *anything*, go anywhere, or was it like Dr. Watson mumbling?)
That link appeared to refer to GERD (acid-reflux) and vitamin D deficiency, but it's a very specific test done on very few people.
It's not exactly an axiom yet, it's more, science with money to burn, wonders stuff.
So, GERD could be a symptom of Vitamin D deficiency, but crowding that into diabetes and thyroid-health...good luck, But I'm still looking.
I wrote another ream and then a bug crawled by... every freaking key on this keyboard means something, and I accidentally hit "End world now, immediately, no confirmation needed"
O..Kay (ahem) Hypothyroid people were shown to have lower Vitamin D. But this is one study, not something you'd learn in a class. I'll keep looking.
If your body is so screwed up it's hopeless and you're dying, There *might* be a problem with Vitamin D as well. (ay ya) I'll keep looking
Remember the Internet's sexist (for the purposes of this entry) Bias. Imagine also that men must get grave's disease too, not just looking at porn or "Dulcinea" (So I've renamed the world-famous disease "Dulcinea's disease," it does not sound as grave as "Grave's disease.") And, After the party comes the reckoning. (IOW, graves can lead to Hashimoto's.) The poor attacked and beleaguered thyroid is too popped to poop, dead on its feet, "Gravely" ill. Hashimoto's comes next. (sometimes)
OK so I exaggerated just a little, but they're related.
In perfect worlds, symptoms are so clear a med student or nurse would catch them.
The real world is more sordid and vague, you could be literally dying and no one would know.
So what's a symptom for normal-thyroid, alarmingly low vitamin-D?
I have this budding theory that diseases have to start *somewhere* before they become full-blown diseases (that you can stick labels on).
It's nice to hear professionals sometimes, not amateurs trying to sound professional, playing like a high school band, but veterans playing a well known piece (the "sehr breit" beginning, anyway) efficiently, yet beautifully.
And in that vein, if you have a few really bad maladies but your doctor is directing your treatment like a symphony-conductor....
Hey you're hogging all the talent,
us healthier people need love too.
OK so I'll never be a politician or an artist,
but don't *I* deserve better treatment?
Fucket.
Stick me with your hose til I die, you assholes. There's nothing down there but I know you just love to look.
Things they know about but never ever test for (So it has to be too fucking late before they'll fucking notice:)
I was hor (*mmHmm!!*) I was hoarse as hell for around six months, and the side effect was, I talked too fucking loud for the next six months.
The hoarseness had nothing to do At All with respiratory illnesses.
Your thyroid is so fucking high up on your body's food chain, when it throws a tantrum (it's in your neck) stuff around it tends to notice.
I feel I should edit this paragraph...Fucket.
I waited 24 hours to add anything, you're bored and I don't want to be bombastic.
So let's talk about something else, "Vitamin D"
Don't ya love the way they say "4.4" as if it's understood what they mean? Let's maybe incorrectly surmise, I have 4 out of a minimum of 20, and they're not following the recommendations of some sales-council (dairy, nut or veggie) That's pretty damned low, right?
Hang on, "ng/ml"
I guess they mean, "nano-gram"
and a milliliter is 20-drops of water.
So we're talking very tiny doses, and I can't even measure up to that!!
OK Bart Simpson got "rickets" because Homer didn't raise him right, but that was a fleeting joke on a single show, you'll remember Bart had a bulging tummy, just like me.
Plus, no one's mentioning "Rickets," not yet.
I thought I was taking all the decent supplements snooty people take, but I totally forgot D.
Some densely worded survey says I need B12 as well, I don't know, they never bothered to test!
They have a large menu like the one at McDonald's and doctors only pick so much because ordering ALL the tests would be boring and hard to look at.
But I've been there long enough to know I was low on "B" before.
useless CRAP, well at least I know (sheit) I'll go buy megadose d and b12.
They'll never talk english, women and republicans would doubt their veracity, so this next dressed-up bit says (I know what it says but you'll disbelieve me)
People with stomach problems, especially stomach cancer, have more problems absorbing vitamin D.
There's a correlation between Vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels, and stomach problems. (Exactly what the correlation *is* I can't say because they pulled some math from the air, but let's maybe infer that Vitamin D is lacking, it's tied in with Vitamin B somehow. I will find a good quote in english, if I can (it's pretty late)
