More About Me

Name is Tara. Early thirties. She/Her. I’m a fun combo of ASD & mixed ADHD w/ sides of both sensory seeking and sensory avoiding tendencies. I’m also a recovering heroin/crack addict (11 yrs, 8 months) recovering from myriad eating disorders (4 years, 6 months). I’ve been very successful in life in spite of all this, yet I don’t often acknowledge that b/c, yk, abysmally low self-esteem, but I get better about that everyday b/c I work the 12 steps. My gratitude for life was borne of the adversities I’ve faced, the obstacles I’ve overcome.

I find value in labels, (for introductions, disclaimers, self awareness, community/connection), but I also rebel against them w/ the intention of not limiting my personal growth.

I’m a Cancer and an INTP = tons of feelings, but they don’t much guide me.

Aaaaand yet, I'm super empathic. Grey ace/aro, hyper/bisexual, fatsexual. Probably poly, or at least poly friendly, (I feel compersion, not jealousy).

FFA/Feeder (in a super gay way) with a strong lean toward soft feedism. Like, no CNC for me in that context. It's gotta be soft and lovey and joyful and indulgent and adoring.

Fmr. paid sex worker who avidly supports and patronizes paid sex workers.

I have the following physiological ASD comorbidities: hypermobile EDS, (bendy af), MCAS, (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), subclinical secondary (hypoandrenergic) POTS, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (from Lyme @ 16) and secondary low T3 hypothyroidism. I have low proprioception w/o dyspraxia but because of the joint hypermobility

I have a B.A. in Psychology & an M.S. in Nutrition & Integrative Health. Human disease/disorder is my primary special interest. Music is my secondary, but it’s a fickle/choosy one. Psychopathy/true crime is tertiary. Math/numbers and words/etymology/accents/dialects/language/slang are both quaternary. I’m a finance/HR director.

I have no inclination toward animals. Animals are lovely, but I don’t connect w/ them. Instead, I adore and go “awww” at all of the baby humans.

Rlyyyy random but I'm vehemently opposed to veganism for the human race. It’s a principle thing and I’m autistic so I have an arsenal of debate material on deck w/o fucks to give about personal feelings; there’s no use in coming for me. I (acknowledge the privilege I have to be able to afford to) practice ethical, environmentally conscious omnivorism. People should live however, and eat whatever, tf they want to, though.

I love to sing, dance, and lift weights. My personal style is the athleisure version of Lydia from Beetlejuice. Petite / short / athletic / hourglass / big boobs / fat ass.

The DMV is home, but Phoenix AZ is my spiritual home, (the rotting cacti give me gut-lvl catharsis...I bawl like a baby about it). Ik, Sedonaaaaa, and sure, but also Phoenix.

Severe existential dread often poisons my naturally gleeful disposition. Very in touch w/ my inner child, VERY silly. Boundless love and adoration to give. Terrified of dying alone, but also need a lot of personal space/time.

Minors: leave me alone.

What’s the full panel?

I think this is about my tag on the thyroid/goiter post in which case the full panel my new doctor ran was TSH (which my old doctor did at my annual exam every year and it was always normal and stable) plus TPO antibodies (the only abnormal result I have rn, which indicates subclinical hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's), thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), T3 uptake, and free thyroxine index.

idk what would be included in other labs but Labcorp called the last four plus TSH "thyroid panel II" and TPO antibodies was separate.

And I separately learned after queuing that post that I'm at a higher risk of cardiovascular events because of the subclinical hypothyroidism so I extra urge people to get tested! Every doctor before the new one attributed my fatigue and slight but sudden weight gain to everything but thyroid problems bc TSH was normal. New doctor heard those symptoms and that my vitamin D was low and immediately ordered the thyroid panel.

health and diet (not weight loss) stuff under cut. tl;dr I'm chronically ill now?

around about the time of the panini I started having a lot of fatigue and muscle soreness, and I thought to myself well, I've gotten quite sedentary and I'm stressed the hell out about everything all the time, that's probably what it is

I had a history of mild hypothyroidism but it seemed to have resolved itself around 2013, so I mentioned this to my doctor and she put thyroid testing in all my labs since then, but it was showing up as "subclinical" -- basically one number was normal and the other was high, which is not generally thought to produce symptoms

so I sought allergy testing and shots as another possibility (and learned I'm allergic to cats, lol) and I'm sure that's not not helping, like, I do feel somewhat less stuffy overall, but the fatigue persists

at my last regular blood test I finally hit the hypothyroidism threshold so they prescribed me some medication and also some more detailed followup testing after a month. which found that the medication was working but also that I have incredibly high levels of thyroid enzyme antibodies. which indicates that it's autoimmune (aka Hashimoto's) and also that, even with my thyroid producing the correct amount of things, my immune system is still attacking me. which quite neatly explains the fatigue and muscle soreness that's still persisting! (and also possibly the mild elevation in white blood cells that's been persistent in other tests)

so! Doc says she's seen this in other autoimmune thyroid patients, where the medication gives some relief to the primary symptoms, but there remains this other problem. And her first recommendation is an elimination diet to test the response to three common inflammatory foods: dairy, gluten, and refined sugar. So that's my next 3-6 months spoken for.

now if I'm honest I see a lot of that "inflammatory foods" business from the same kind of people who think the body's full of "toxins" requiring fancy expensive laxative potions to sluice out -- and also I'm sure that like, refined sugar isn't providing any health benefits, but I'm skeptical about the actual chemical differences between that and the "unrefined" stuff (yes I know there are many different sugars but how much difference does it reeeeaaaaallly make once it's in the body)

but as far as I know there's no like. antibody chelation protocols or whatever. so I have to give this a try because if it doesn't do anything then at least we know. I'm not super thrilled about having to go into "good foods vs bad foods" mode, which tends to take me into dark places pretty quickly, but I am hoping to focus more on "these are the good things I can eat lots of" instead of the alternative.

anyway this is requiring some cognitive reframing from "these are real symptoms but it's mainly stress and poor lifestyle choices" to "oh actually I'm sick and have been for some time" which, on the one hand it's incredibly affirming when your doctor says "yes, you do feel terrible and there's a reason!" but on the other hand, whew, that's a lot to take in actually.

(we won't talk about the times when i told myself "this is just how people feel and you're a whiny bastard for not handling it better" because I was mostly sure people don't just feel this bad all the time.)

anyway I only have to go dairy-free first, then take out gluten, and sugar goes last, so that shouldn't be bad -- Charles is lactose intolerant so we've already switched over to some non-dairy options. And I can sort of gradually phase out gluten-containing products as I use up the last of them. Anyone got any pasta recs? That's probably gonna be the heaviest lift for me.

#diet #illness #this is gonna be fun! (through gritted teeth)#it's nice to admit that i feel like shit though #like i could have before but my brain said i wasn't allowed because i didn't have a 'good reason'#screw you brain i'm sick

Instagram Repost: July 16, 2022

Started a new medication last night for Subclinical Hypothyroidism at only 32; another med on the list. Another acronym in the soup. It really is amazing how my body breaks down more and more each year despite my best efforts to keep it going. But the new med gave me a huge burst of energy I honestly haven't felt in a long time, I'll admit.

Which meant I got to take an early morning trip out to the Duck Ponds to throw Peas at our abandoned Duck and Goose population- who were very chatty and lovely today, and actually came right up to us on the bench for once. Although eventually I did get to watch the equivalent of Goose Fight Club when a fight broke out between one of the White Geese and one of the gorgeous Chinese Geese.

I felt a bit bad for laughing at the hilarity of it, but lbr. How do you not laugh at a ring of geese circling two others fighting, honking like car alarms in unison and bobbing their heads like fish buoys? Not to mention how geese fight- or the hilarious victory dance the Chinese Goose did when it won in the end; it's certainly a once in a lifetime sight, and a very funny one at that.

It also nabbed me a few feathers from both of the combatants once the dust settled and they all went to float on the water … So who wants to take a gander (or a goose) at what kind of magic these'd be useful in?

This account is run by a Dual Faith «(Converting) Masorti Jew + Traditional NeoWiccan» & «Ancestral Folk Magic Practitioner» with 20+ years of experience as a practicing Pagan and Witch. If that bothers you, don't interact.

Thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer, impact millions globally. Despite being common, these conditions often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to their subtle symptoms and complex causes. In today's fast-paced world, the need for effective thyroid wellness solutions is more critical than ever. This blog will explore the necessity for improved thyroid care, the available alternatives, why CureEZ stands out, and real-life examples of how CureEZ has transformed lives.

The Urgency for Thyroid Wellness Today

The Growing Prevalence of Thyroid Disorders

Thyroid disorders are increasingly prevalent, with millions of new cases diagnosed annually. For example, hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland is underactive, affects approximately 5% of the population, with a higher incidence in women and the elderly. Hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid is overactive, affects about 1-2% of the population.

Several factors contribute to this growing prevalence. Environmental pollutants, dietary factors, and increased autoimmune diseases play significant roles. The impact of stress and lifestyle changes in modern society also exacerbates these conditions.

The Challenges of Diagnosis

One of the primary challenges in managing thyroid disorders is accurate diagnosis. Symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, and mood swings often overlap with other conditions, leading to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis. Traditional diagnostic methods, primarily reliant on blood tests measuring thyroid hormone levels, may not always provide a comprehensive picture.

Moreover, subclinical thyroid disorders, where symptoms are present but hormone levels appear normal, complicate diagnosis further. Patients often face frustration and anxiety due to the uncertainty and inconsistency in their diagnosis and treatment plans.

The Impact on Quality of Life

Untreated or poorly managed thyroid disorders can lead to severe health complications. For instance, hypothyroidism can result in heart disease, mental health issues, and infertility. Hyperthyroidism can lead to severe complications like atrial fibrillation, osteoporosis, and thyrotoxic crisis if left untreated.

The physical symptoms are only part of the story. The mental and emotional toll of thyroid disorders can be profound, leading to depression, anxiety, and cognitive issues. This multifaceted impact underscores the need for comprehensive, accurate, and accessible thyroid care.

Current Approaches to Thyroid Wellness

Conventional Medical Treatments

1. Medication: The standard treatment for hypothyroidism is synthetic thyroid hormone replacement therapy, such as levothyroxine. This treatment aims to normalize hormone levels, but finding the correct dosage can be challenging and requires regular monitoring. For hyperthyroidism, antithyroid medications like methimazole or propylthiouracil are used to reduce hormone production.

2. Radioactive Iodine Therapy: Used primarily for hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, this treatment involves taking radioactive iodine orally to destroy overactive thyroid cells. While effective, it requires careful monitoring and can lead to hypothyroidism.

3. Surgery: In cases of large goiters, thyroid nodules, or thyroid cancer, surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland may be necessary. This option is usually considered when other treatments fail or when there is a suspicion of malignancy.

Natural and Holistic Approaches

1. Dietary Changes: Incorporating foods rich in iodine, selenium, and zinc can support thyroid health. For hypothyroidism, iodine-rich foods like seaweed, fish, and dairy are beneficial. For hyperthyroidism, a balanced diet avoiding excessive iodine and goitrogenic foods like soy and cruciferous vegetables is recommended.

2. Supplements: Nutritional supplements, such as iodine, selenium, and vitamin D, can help address deficiencies that impact thyroid function. However, supplementation should be approached cautiously and under medical supervision to avoid adverse effects.

3. Lifestyle Modifications: Stress reduction techniques, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are crucial for maintaining overall health and supporting thyroid function. Mindfulness practices, yoga, and other stress management strategies can be particularly beneficial.

Alternative Therapies

1. Acupuncture: Some studies suggest acupuncture can help alleviate symptoms associated with thyroid disorders. It is believed to balance energy flow in the body, potentially improving thyroid function and overall well-being.

2. Herbal Remedies: Certain herbs, like ashwagandha and guggul, are believed to support thyroid health. Ashwagandha, an adaptogen, may help regulate hormone levels and reduce stress, while guggul is thought to stimulate thyroid function. However, more research is needed to confirm their efficacy and safety.

Transformative Innovations and Competitive Landscape in the Hypoparathyroidism Treatment Market: Insights and Forecast for the Next Decade

Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder, which often results in levels of calcium and high levels of phosphate, which in turn results in the production of low or abnormal parathyroid (PTH) levels. According to a recent research report by Future Market Insights (FMI), the hypoparathyroidism treatment market is estimated to reach a valuation of US$ 717.7 Mn in 2021, and is projected to display a promising CAGR of approximately 8% through the end of the forecast period in 2031.

Hypothyroidism primarily arises from surgeries in the neck region. It is associated to accidental damage to the parathyroid gland. High prevalence of these surgeries is expected to boost the demand in the hypoparathyroidism treatment market. For instance, in the U.S., up to 115,000 people are diagnosed with the chronic hypoparathyroidism. The majority of the hypoparathyroidism cases are caused by anterior neck surgery, which accounts for up to 75% of the of all hypoparathyroidism cases. The remaining 25% cases are non-surgical or in very rare cases is linked to genetic disorders.

Furthermore, considering the rare occurrence of this medical condition, hypoparathyroidism has been designated as an orphan disease by the U.S. FDA and European Commission. This designation of orphan disease will help manufacturers to speed up their drug development processes, which leads to better availability of drugs for treatments of hypoparathyroidism.

However, the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the development of drugs for rare diseases including those associated with hypoparathyroidism. Preference now is being given to the development of life-savings drugs with greater focus on development of COVID-19 drugs and vaccines, thus halting or suspending existing clinical trials other than live saving drugs.

Also, this has led to the delay or postponement of enrolment of the new participants for clinical studies. Thus, the lack of sufficient data availability on the safety and effectiveness of treatments from clinical trials, will hurt short-term prospects. Clinical trials will gradually resume through 2021, and is anticipated to pick up pace during the forecast period.

For More Information: https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/hypoparathyroidism-treatment-market

Key Takeaways from Hypoparathyroidism Treatment Marker Study

Calcium supplements dominate the hypoparathyroidism treatment market growing 2x by 2031 owing to efficacy with hormonal therapy.

Parenteral route of administration is projected to grow at higher pace, driven by a rise in the number of clinical trials, and approval of new drugs which are influencing strong growth in this segment.

United States holds over 85% of the North America market for hypoparathyroidism treatments and will remain dominant owing to government incentives.

The U.K. will exhibit high demand, registering y-o-y growth at nearly 7% in 2021.

Germany and France will emerge as key markets within Europe.

China and India reflect high potential for growth on the back of a large subclinical patient pool for kidney disorders, diabetes, obesity, thyroid surgeries or head & neck surgery.

Growing cases of hypoparathyroidism and associated neck surgeries, coupled with an increase in patient awareness and screening, faster approvals and grants for product development, and favorable reimbursement scenarios, are major factors influencing market growth. Demand for biologics and the emergence of personalized medicine are some of the upcoming trends that are expected to generate significant growth opportunities for manufacturers operating in this space,” says the FMI Analyst

Product Approvals, and Expansion Strategies Gain the Focus of Drug Manufacturers

Prominent players in the hypoparathyroidism treatment market are focusing on receiving approvals and grants for the development of new drugs to cater to the growing cases of hypoparathyroidism, thus, enhancing their market presence. For instance,

In October 2020, Ascendis’s TransCon PTH was designated as orphan drug by the European commission (EC), which is approved for use to treat hypoparathyroidism in Europe.

In July 2020, ProLynx, received a Small Business Innovation Research (SIBR) grant from NIH to help fasten the development PTH (1, 34), a long acting parathyroid hormone that can be in a week to patients suffering from hypoparathyroidism.

Hypothyroidism: Symptoms And Effects During Pregnancy

Significant physiological stress are put on the mother and the foetus when the pregnancy is carried to term. When endocrine disorders, such as hypothyroidism, are present during pregnancy, the risk of harm to the mother and the unborn child is significantly increased.

There has been a fair amount of focus placed on the negative effects of hypothyroidism on the developing foetus. However, there is a gradual shift toward examining the negative effects of this disorder on the mother. It is also unknown how much antibody positivity determines the outcome for a woman with a normal thyroid. Due to this, diagnosing and treating hypothyroidism in pregnant women as quickly as possible is extremely important.

What Causes Hypothyroidism And How Common Is It Among Pregnant Women?

The most common cause of pregnancy and hypothyroidism in women in some regions of India is a lack of iodine in the diet. In regions with adequate levels of iodine, autoimmune thyroiditis is the most common cause of goitre.

There is a possibility that women who had subclinical hypothyroidism before becoming pregnant will develop overt hypothyroidism.

Approximately two to three out of every one hundred pregnancies are affected by Hashimoto's disease, making it the most likely cause of hypothyroidism in pregnancy.

The autoimmune disease Hashimoto affects the thyroid gland. Antibodies produced by the immune system attack the thyroid, leading to inflammation and damage that reduces the gland's ability to produce thyroid hormones. This condition is known as autoimmune thyroiditis.

Symptoms Of Hypothyroidism

ToneOp enlists the symptoms of hypothyroidism, which are often subtle and develop gradually over time. The following is a list of the most common symptoms of hypothyroidism:

Fatigue

Intolerance to cold temperatures

Swelling of the face

Gain in body weight

Constipation

Alterations to the skin and hair, such as thinning eyebrows and dry skin on the face

Carpal tunnel syndrome (hand tingling or pain)

Slow and irregular heartbeat

Muscle pain

Having trouble concentrating on things

Intermenstrual bleeding that occurs at unpredictable intervals

Pregnant women frequently experience the same symptoms of hypothyroidism as other patients with this condition.

The following are some of the symptoms:

Extreme tiredness

Having difficulty fending off colds

Muscle cramps

Constipation of a severe nature

Memory and concentration issues are plaguing you

Impacts Of Hypothyroidism On Pregnant Women

During the first few months of pregnancy, the foetus depends on the mother for its supply of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones significantly influence the development and growth of the foetus’s brain. Hypothyroidism in the mother can have long-term effects on the developing foetus. It is possible that an untreated case of hypothyroidism during pregnancy could result in

Preeclampsia (dangerous rise in blood pressure in late pregnancy) (a dangerous rise in blood pressure in late pregnancy)

Anaemia

Miscarriage

Underweighted birth weight

Stillbirth

Congestive heart failure occurs very infrequently.

People who suffer from severe hypothyroidism are more likely to experience these problems.

Hypothyroidism And The Complications During Pregnancy

As the foetus cannot produce thyroid hormones in the first trimester of pregnancy, it must rely on the thyroid hormones produced by the mother for proper neurodevelopment. Hypothyroidism is a potentially life-threatening condition for pregnant women; if left untreated, it can lead to complications for both the mother and the unborn child.

Complications that can affect the mother include high blood pressure, diabetes, abruption of the placenta, and postpartum haemorrhage.

Complications during pregnancy include premature birth, low birth weight, stillbirths, and even abortions.

A foetus's neurocognitive development can also be negatively impacted by overt hypothyroidism.

Subclinical hypothyroidism has the potential to also have detrimental effects. For instance, children whose mothers have untreated hypothyroidism are more likely to have low IQs and learning disabilities than children whose mothers have the condition treated.

Treatment Of Hypothyroidism For Women Who Are Pregnant

Levothyroxine should be given with a serum TSH target of less than 2.5 mIU per L when treating hypothyroidism in pregnant women. This is recommended by the American Thyroid Association.

Serum TSH levels should be checked in pregnant women who are being treated for hypothyroidism at 4 to 6 weeks of pregnancy, then every 4 to 6 weeks until 20 weeks of pregnancy and on a stable medication dosage, then once more at 24 to 28 weeks gestation and once more at 32 to 34 weeks gestation.

In order to treat the condition, levothyroxine supplements are typically taken. In a clinical trial involving 131 women with positive TPO antibodies (euthyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism) who were randomly assigned to receive levothyroxine medication or no treatment, the levothyroxine treatment resulted in a significant reduction in the rate of premature delivery.

The Bottom Line

If you are actively trying to conceive a child, have a history of pregnancy complications and suffer from an autoimmune or thyroid condition. In that case, your physician can assist you in planning a healthy pregnancy and order any necessary tests.

Your chances of being successful are directly proportional to how quickly you get started planning. In addition, pay attention to the importance of maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and finding ways to reduce stress.
