subacute thyroiditis does it go away?

---

have thyroiditis for 7 months. finally being treated with prednisone and diltizam for the past two weeks. but am confussed doctors say it will go away other doctors say it wont?
also have been told my heart rate will never slow down even if thyroiditis goes away. but im hypothyroidism with groiter
are you sure he meant that the fact that you will always have to take medicine will never go away? that's something i will have to do for the rest of my life, is take 1 pill a day for my thyroid problem.
i've answered your other questions, but i am also going to answer here in case anyone would be intersted that reads your question.

i have low thyroid. if you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: can you see the floor of your house? that was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!
anyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.
if you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are:increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.
I take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. there's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. i hope i've helped you!!  (+ info)

Difference between hashimoto's thyroiditis and subacture thyroiditis?

---

I understand that subacute can be set off by a viral infection that triggers T-cells which attack the thyroid gland after the infection has been killed, but I don't really understand hashimoto's thyroiditis and the difference between these two forms of thyroiditis.

thanks in advance...
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is caused by antithyroid antibodies and is an auto-immune disease. It is presented with hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) and is painless. This is a permanent situation. This type of thyroidism requires thyroid replacement therapy. Some of the symptoms include the following: fatigue, constipation, weight gain, dry skin, and poor exercise tolerance. Thyroid replacement therapy would be for a lifetime. The biggest difference between the two is that the actual thyroid gland would be enlarged.

Subacute thyroiditis is a viral infection. It originally looks like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, except that it is painful. Additionally, the infection usually dissipates within 12-18 months. Only 5% of those individuals fall into a category whereby permanent hypothyroidism remains. Additionally, as long as the disease goes away in that time frame, it rarely ever reoccurs. Thyroid replacement therapy is generally give for only 6-12 months to see if the Thyroid functions normally after that.

Hope this helps.  (+ info)

How long until Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is gone if taking meds properly?

---

I know that it's never really GONE, but how long until the person is back to normal.

****ALSO does Hashimoto's Thyroiditis cause a person to be hard to handle and become a completely different person?
I had the tumor remove thirty years ago, and no I didn't change at all, I don't even take syntheroid now, but losing weight is a problem.
Generally you perk up more when you get your thyroid or thyroid substitute working again.
So you might be more active or cheerful. But not manic or crazy or a completely different person.  (+ info)

What Did They Do For Your Thyroiditis if you had it?

---

I have thyroiditis, it is not comfortable, and my swelling seems to get more infront of my neck. I am worried about my heart, it is in good shape, but can this thyroid mess with my heart at all? Should I be worried about my heart or anything? I'm tired of the swelling but can live with it, if it is not upsetting my heart any.
You treat the cause, if possible. With the most common thyroiditis, (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) you can't treat the cause though, so you treat the symptom (the hypothyroidism) with synthetic replacement thyroid hormones.  (+ info)

Does thyroiditis have anything to do with loss of vocal range and singing ability that was once there?

---

I sang all through high school and have continued to sing and had an extensive range. Now, after being diagnosed with thyroiditis it has drastically decreased and many times i cant sing at all through songs i once could. is this caused by my condition and will it go away?
There is a possiblility that you have inflamation of your thyroid and you may have an enlarged thyroid, or nodules on your thyroid. There is a possibility that an enlarged thyroid is pressing on your vocal chords, due to its location in your neck. Has the doctor done a physical exam of your neck to see if you have an enlarged (called a goiter) thyroid? If not, it is time for an exam. People diagnosed with thyroiditis may have a sonogram or ultrasound to make sure the thyroid doesn't have any nodules. Nodules are almost always non-cancerous.
If the thyroid is not enlarged, then another condition may be causing your loss of vocal range. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) or acid reflux disease can cause problems with your voice. It will start with loss of vocal range, then you may find that you cannot sing at all like you used to, or you can't make it through a song. If you have frequent heartburn or a sour taste in your mouth after you eat, then definately go see yoru doctor.
When I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (Grave's Disease) I had a enlarged thyroid and I was starting to lose my vocal range. I used to be able to sing first soprano through first tenor. Now my voice sounds hoarse and horrible, and I cannot make it through a song. I have been treated for the thyroid problems, but still have problems with my voice. I used to think the thyroid was to blame, but it is my allergies, sinus problems and my history of acid reflux disease.
Have your doctor examine your thyroid, and if that is not the problem, explain your problems. Once the doctor determines what is going on, hopefully you can get your voice back.
Good luck.  (+ info)

Is it safe to concieve when i have Thyroiditis?

---

I have been diagonised as having Thyroditis & have started having hormone tablets since 2 weeks now. I have a 2.5 yr old child & I want to conceive as soon as possible for the second time. Is it safe concieve this month? What extra precaution do i need to take during preganancy? I want for sure a 100% normal child. What do I do for it?
My mom conceived 4 children with thyroiditis, and we were all completely healthy. However, it can be hard to conceive with thyroid disorders. I to am being tested for thyroid problems, and have been trying to get pregnant for the past year, and still no luck. Good luck to you!

You may want to double check with your doctor, but if you are taking a med such as synthroid, that is to balance out the thyroid hormones, and I'm pretty sure it is safe to take while trying to conceive and during pregnancy. Again, double check with your doctor.  (+ info)

What body systems are affected with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?

---

And how are they affected?
Technically all body systems (and cells for that matter) are affected because your thyroid is controlling T4/T3 levels... In reality, however, only the thyroid should be of concern, and chances are you probably have already noticed it is enlarged and warm to the touch... It is fairly easy to treat as well, I might add...

Good Luck and I Hope this Helps...  (+ info)

My wife has hoshimoto thyroiditis and cannt loose any weight?

---

she has gained at least 120 pound in 2 years, she is seeing a personal trainer, but actually looks like she is gaining more weight, she has absolutely no sex drive at all. I love her I want to be there for her but I am loosing my attraction to her. Is there anything that will help her loose the weight, I don't want to loose her I want her to be healthy. I want my wife the way she was before this disease
Is your wife on Synthroid? She should be. She should have a blood test every 3 months or so to see if her hormones are regulating. She has to have a sono of her thyroid to make sure there are no nodules. She should, and I know this is hard, avoid carbs. No more than one fruit a day, stay away from sugar, make sure her intake of carbs is no more than 35grams a day. She should eat foods high in dietary fiber.
Say she has a rice-cake with 8g of carbs, yet that rice cake has 3g of dietary fiber, that means the total amount of net carbs is 5! 8-3=5 Easy to do! Next, along with personal training she should see a nutritionist. (if it is too much considering it is cosly, go on sparkpeople.com) it is an amazing, informitive website designed ecactly for what your wife needs, advice, tons of info, menues, personal meal plans etc. FREE!!! Good luck! It sucks to have thyroid problems, it affects sleep, weight, menstruation, mood, hair, nails, skin, etc... IT SUCKS!!! Please be kind to your wife, it is overwhelming enough to deal with this, best of luck!!  (+ info)
