Hypothyroidism

By SWA

Hypothyroidism happens when the thyroid gland doesn't make enough thyroid hormone. This condition also is called underactive thyroid. Hypothyroidism may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Over time, hypothyroidism that isn't treated can lead to other health problems, such as high cholesterol and heart problems.

Hypothyroidism symptoms may include:

    Tiredness.
    More sensitivity to cold.
    Constipation.
    Dry skin.
    Weight gain.
    Puffy face.
    Hoarse voice.
    Coarse hair and skin.
    Muscle weakness.
    Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness.
    Menstrual cycles that are heavier than usual or irregular.
    Thinning hair.
    Slowed heart rate, also called bradycardia.
    Depression.
    Memory problems.

Is it OK to take magnesium with hypothyroidism?

Zinc, vitamin A, and magnesium supplementation may have beneficial effects in patients with hypothyroidism and in diseases associated with hyperthyroidism. Keywords: Hs-CRP; Hypothyroidism; Magnesium; Oxidative stress; Thyroid function; Vitamin A; Zinc.

Randomized Study of the Effects of Zinc, Vitamin A, and Magnesium Co-supplementation on Thyroid Function, Oxidative Stress, and hs-CRP in Patients with Hypothyroidism

How does thyroid hormone affect magnesium?

Although these effects on electrolyte reabsorption are modest compared to the hemodynamic alterations, the data suggest that thyroid hormone has a direct effect on the tubule which if chronically absent results in subtle sodium and calcium wasting and renal retention of magnesium. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6713257/

What minerals should you avoid with hypothyroidism?
Don't take your thyroid hormone at the same time as:

    Walnuts.
    Soybean flour.
    Cottonseed meal.
    Iron supplements or multivitamins containing iron.
    Calcium supplements.
    Antacids that contain aluminum, magnesium or calcium.
    Some ulcer medicines, such as sucralfate (Carafate).

In people with hypothyroidism, symptoms related to skin tissues are common, including epidermal, dermal, and sweat gland changes. A primary complaint is of dry or coarse skin. Often, this dryness is due to decreased sweating, though the exact connection between the thyroid and sweat glands is unclear.

Can Hashimoto's cause dry skin?

Improve Dry, Irritated Skin with Hashimoto's

When your thyroid slows down, your body processes slow down and change. One such change is a decrease in eccrine gland secretion, resulting in dry hypothyroid skin. Skin without enough moisture can quickly become dry and flaky.

Why does hypothyroidism cause dry skin?

The dryness of hypothyroid skin results from decreased eccrine gland secretion. The mechanism for decreased sweating is not clear although the hypothyroid glands are atrophic on histologic examination.

What is a thyroid crash at 3pm?

The afternoon crash means your blood sugar has dropped too low for your brain and body to function normally, causing you to become drowsy, mentally foggy, tired, and unmotivated. Unstable blood sugar is notorious for making it difficult to manage an autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto's hypothyroidism.

Which fruit is not good for thyroid?

Excessive consumption of these foods can result in thyroid gland inflammation and worsen the condition. These include:
Some fruits, such as strawberry, peaches, Starchy food, such as sweet potato and cassava.

What is the relationship between iron and hypothyroidism?

The body is dependent upon iron to convert thyroxine (T4) into the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3) via thyroid peroxidase (TPO). As such, low iron levels can impede thyroid function and patients can present with hypothyroid-like symptoms.

Toxic Skin Condition Post-mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination

By SWA

Identifying Severe Skin Conditions Post-Vaccination Following administration of the BioNTech mRNA vaccine, a small subset of individuals may develop severe and complex reactions. These reactions are often misdiagnosed or misunderstood due to their rarity and diverse presentation. This essay examines a case characterized by severe skin conditions, systemic symptoms, and complications such as hypercalcemia and crystal formation. It highlights the need for accurate diagnosis, holistic management, and increased awareness of these rare but significant vaccine-related adverse events. Initial Symptoms and Misdiagnoses Severe symptoms began shortly after the first dose of the BioNTech vaccine, initially presenting as petechiae, diagnosed by a rheumatologist. However, following the second dose, symptoms rapidly escalated, resulting in intense burning pain and thinning of the skin. The skin on the legs and thighs became paper-thin and could tear with the slightest touch, with the affected area e...

Dysferlin Protein: Key Roles, Genetic Locations

By SWA

The purpose of this article is to share and discuss the details of a new discovery, which is highlighted within: CRISPR-Cas9: A Breakthrough Tool to Repair the DYSF Gene The dysferlin protein plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity of muscle cell membranes, particularly in tissues that endure significant mechanical stress, such as skeletal and cardiac muscles . Encoded by the DYSF gene , dysferlin is indispensable for repairing damaged cell membranes after injury caused by muscle contraction or external forces. This article explores the main locations where dysferlin is produced, its role in muscle repair, and supportive nutritional and therapeutic strategies for individuals with dysferlin deficiency, such as those affected by dysferlinopathies (e.g., Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2B or Miyoshi Myopathy). Currently, there is no definitive answer as to why the severity of dysferlin protein expression or depletion varies. Do pathogens play a role in the methylation o...

Is ME CFS connected to Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) or Post Polio?

By SWA

Today, I understand why Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) received little attention, particularly in the mid-50s. This complex and debilitating genetic illness was poorly understood, and patients' symptoms were often minimized or even dismissed. For more information, please visit the Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) page on MalaCards . Even now, many neurologists lack detailed knowledge of SMA, and comprehensive examinations mentioned in research are rarely pursued. In 2008, while investigating permanent adrenal insufficiency, an MRI ordered by my endocrinologist unexpectedly revealed Chiari Malformation II. However, surgery in 2009 brought no improvement. In 2010, a DNA test showed a genetic marker in the ACTN3 gene: https://www.malacards.org/search/results?q=ACTN3%20gene%20and%20Spinal%20Muscular%20Atrophy%20(SMA) A 2015 MRI revealed ankylosing spondylitis, multiple Tarlov cysts, stenosis at L4 and L5, spinal canal narrowing, and widespread degenerative changes. Surgery on L4 and L5 ...
