Hi: I have an elderly family member who claims to not feel hungry much, usually only eats 2 large meals or 3 smaller meals every day. We went out for dinner and had a large meal; he felt so tired when we went home, he fell asleep for about 10-11 hours.
We have Krohn’s disease, diabetes, and thyroid disease in our family history - is there any chance that my family member may have any of these disorders based on the food behavior? Or is this common amongst elderly folks?
Thanks for the help.
My grandmother is concerned that if I concieve , the child will be born with an disability of some kind. She saw a girl on tv that was not able to hold her child because she was born without arms. The girl said that it was because her mother had a thyroid disorder. I believe that if God wants me to have a child that is disabled , than he will give me this special child no matter what. God would never give me anything that I could not handle. Thanks for all of your answers.
I need some good recipes that won’t make me gain weight. I have a thyroid disorder and can’t eat much and I am looking for some new things. Please help me with this.
I have PCOS and want to know if PCOS and thyroid disorders go hand in hand. Am I more likely to have a thyroid condition because of my PCOS? I have a doctor Appointment sceduled next week but was just curious if anyone knows or has a similar issue? Any suggestions or helpful websites?
I have a thyroid disorder and would like to join the military, is it possible that a person with my disorder can join?
i am 28 & i’m having some very weird symtoms.i sweat while i’m freezing (increaced perspiration),my periods last 2 days.i’ve been trying to have a baby,we’ve been trying for 3 yrs.could this be a hormone imbalance at my age,or could it be thyroid disorder,or stress and nerves.
My hair is thin and brittle and breaks often. It comes out when I shampoo and when I blow dry. I have dyed it but quit because I read that dying hair can make it more brittle. I have a condition that causes my thyroid gland to slowly become under active as I grow older, and I read that thyroid problems can also cause thin, brittle hair. I use Head and Shoulder’s shampoo and conditioner because I have very sensitive skin and it keeps my head from itching, and I condition every day. I rarely use a flat iron or curling iron. Is there a better shampoo and conditioner, a product, or anything that I can use or do to my hair to repair and prevent further thinning and breakage?
I have been to a doctor about the thyroid condition but my symptoms are "not severe enough" to put me on hormone replacement therapy yet. Also, if you know of an inexpensive product that works or a "home remedy," if you will, that’d be great. I’m a college student with a job that pays monthly and I just started. Thus, I’m broke!
I have not been feeling well lately and was talking to a co-worker this morning. She suggested that I get my thyroid checked. I looked up symptoms on the net and of the 26 symptoms listed I have 20 of them.
The problem is that I have no insurance and money is tight and I hate to go have a test that is not needed. What are the chances that I am just a fat, cold natured nervous woman with dry skin and hair suffering from fluid retention, brittle nails, IBS who is always tired?
Not expecting a doctor but just use your good and functional brains and give me your unbiased opinion. Thank You
Lalitha- I dont have a low opinion of myself- those are the symptoms of a thryoid disorder!!!
1.How is the action of a hormone similar to that of a nerve?
Because they both bring about responses
Because they are both delivered through the blood system
Because they are both issued from parts of the brain
Because they are both essential in puberty
2: What is diabetes and how is it treated?
The pancreas does not supply enough insulin and excessive amounts of sugar collect in the blood. It is treated by controlling diet and injecting extra insulin into the blood.
The thyroid gland is overactive and can cause weight-loss, irritability, and protrusion of the eyes. It is controlled through various medical procedures to reduce levels of thyroxin.
The pancreas produces too much insulin and breaks down the sugar in the blood too fast. It is treated by controlled diet and injecting insulin-suppressors into the blood.
The thyroid gland is under-active and people tend to become obese and slow in reactions. It is controlled by diet and injections of thyroxin.
