Thyroid disease's impact on other conditions

Very true but there is a baseline within which perceptive doctors can wiggle according to symptoms presented. On the other end their are shrill sites that exploit thyroid problems as the source of all the world's ills.
You may find this interesting. Ashkenazi Jews are known for longevity and part of the reason may be a heritable trend toward low thyroid, as in higher TSH with normal T4 & T3. The study below supports the lower thyroid-longer life association.

Do you know what they are looking for with these tests, Nancy?
What about hyperparathyroidism? <br><br>Nancy Shermoen~
Hello Nancy. I am responding to your posted question because I am in the middle of those tests which you will likely receive. There are hormonal issues which can have great impact on your body, and not be cancer. There are also benign cancers which can have these effects. My daughter had a benign macro pituitary adenoma removed successfully, and she is healthy and fully living with no medications. There are adrenal gland issues and pituitary issues which are also benign. Most can be treated with medications and life style adjustments. I hope these points are reassuring, which is what I am holding onto. I am trying to stay relaxed as possible, pace myself ( because I tend to take on a lot and beat myself up when I get tired), and eat lots and lots of vegetables for my immune system. I am trying to embrace each sensory experience, each hug, and each text from my kids and friends. Stay connected, and allow yourself to vent. Best of luck, and my prayers.

About to take a battery of tests as my calcium is high and my vit D is very low. B 12 has been low for months and I take shots.
I know this can be serious, do you have any ideas for me?
