Blackie died peacefully in his sleep, with me by his side, and didn't suffer. He had hyperthyroidism but lived a full and active life, right up until the end. May you rest in peace, my dear Black. I love you.
So we had to replace our waterbed mattress. Joy. But in moving bedding and whatnot around, Isis immediately climbed up onto the highest, most comfortable spot she could find and declared herself queen, which, of course, she is. She turned 16 this year and had developed hyperthyroidism about a month before we were supposed to leave for China for a period of one year. We ended up taking her to our local radiocat facility and getting the radioactive iodine treatment. It's a permanent cure. We are able to get it done the week before we had to leave and she seems fine and cured now. Yay!
I've been told by many folks that I don't put enough effort into photographing our family pet so I've resolved to try to get at least one good shot of her per week. Here she is looking out the patio door keeping tabs on the local feeder birds.
For those of you that don't know Ginger from my previous shots of her, she is a female calico mix that we rescued from a friend's backyard when she was abandoned by her mother. At the time she was clearly the runt of her litter because while she had made it to weaning but was still only about the size of a baseball when she would curl up in your hands. Badly undernourished and totally flea infested we decided to bring her home but after a few good meals and more than just a few treatments with flea spray she became quite the member of the family.
At this point, Ginger has been with us for over 16 years and is still as crazily energetic as she was when she was a kitten. Still a bit of a runt, she barely tips the scales at 6 pounds. She also requires a pill twice a day to keep her hyperthyroidism in check. My guess, though, is that she will likely outlive me.
reposted ; GOOD NEWS ! her 'T4 ' level has dropped! , & waiting for more results ....
Hoping to lower her meds dosage yet again !
Hypothyroidism is really a condition in that the thyroid isn’t making enough thyroid hormone. The thyroid is really a butterfly shaped gland positioned in leading of the throat. The thyroid is essential because it generates a hormone that affects how a body uses energy. Therefore, having...
These days you will find many people suffering from certain ailments like rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia & hyperthyroidism. At a certain point their body fails in tolerating all that pain caused due to these issues and they need a proper treatment that can help them to get rid of this uncomfortable situation. In such cases, Physiotherapy is the best option to choose. Now, let’s discuss some of the ways by which the field of Physiotherapy NSW can prove itself fruitful for our body.
Hodjee is not doing well at all. She is having trouble breathing now. She still has some bite in her though.
I tried to give her antibiotics and hyperthyroid medication just now and she bit entirely through my finger with her fangs.
I was able to give her antibiotics, but not the hyperthyroid meds. I may try again, but then again... I just don't think she's going to make it.
Man, she still knows how to bite though. Well played, Hodjee. Well played.
My 15 year old girl having a little outside time--under supervision. She's been having a tough time lately battling hyperthyroidism, UTI, irritable bowl and not liking the medications for all. She seemed a bit better today and was quite active.
Today I had my 18 month post-radiation check up. All is well and frankengland continues to behave itself. Now I just take one of these little pills every day (Thyroxine, 50 ug).
Two years ago this was my life. I like my life now much better!
In the United States, more than 20% of the women in menopause are diagnosed with hypothyroidism – a sluggish thyroid. Women need to understand the consequences of menopause on the thyroid, as with the increase in age, more women are affected by hypothyroidism. Menopause and hypothyroidism...
An older repost of a photo of Mozza so I could let those interested know of his most recent blood test results. There's both good & bad news but I think the bad news outweighs the good which I'll explain more later.
All the important values associated with kidney insufficiency have improved a little & his anemia (which always is associated with chronic diseases) is slightly better too. So in that sense, the progression of his kidney damage seems to be stable.
The bad news though - his T4 (etraiodothyonine) has risen so he's now in the range of hyperthyroidic (if that's a word). Hyperthyroidism is faairly common in older cats & is almost always caused by a benign tumour on the thyroid glands. Treatment is simple enough - a med called tapazole is given to muffle the over-active thyroid. Side effects can sometimes be a problem but his dose will be quite low.
I'm knowledgable about hyerthyroidism in cats so treating it doesn't scare me. My boy IS a 'bugger' to pill - excuse the language - so I'll need to be creative. I also think it's very bitter so no adding it powdered to his food like I do his other meds & supplements.
But the thing that has me sad & a little worried is what his kidneys will be like after treating his thyroid. Hyperthyroidism causes increased blood flow to the kidneys which can falsely make them seem to be working better. Once the hyperthyroidism is treated, kidney values can worsen. Because Mozza's hyperT is caught early, hopefully it won't be a big change ...but it could be. Still, it's very important to treat hyperT as it can affect many other organs adversely & cats feel MUCH better when it's normalized. If anyone has hyperT themselves, they'll tell you how uncomfortable it feels.
So tomorrow, I pick up his news meds & begin the epic struggle (well, it feels like it, getting pills into him!) with a new routine & in another month, get a recheck to see how his values are holding. Damn!! I hate doing this to him but it's for his good whether he knows it or now.
Oh, an extra note - Mozza was a perfect gentleman at the vet's last time. No biting, very cooperative & well behaved. I really think the last time, it was the tech & not Mozza's fault. He never acted like that before. This time they were cooing over him & I think he knew he wasn't going to be hurt. Good boy!!
Theo the Rex guinea pig suffered from hyperthyroidism. The medication Thyronorm Thiamazole didn’t work for him after two months. So we decided to take risk on surgery. 10am, I sent him to the vet. 230pm vet called to inform us he was fine and started eating. 930am next day I was informed he suffered seizures. 1130am, Blood test found low glucose and drips given. 1:09pm vet called to say he passed away. flic.kr/p/Feu5sG
In January 2013, my sweet [almost 15 year old ] cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. We were so sad to hear this. We put her on medication right away.
Within two weeks, she became very ill so we took her off and ran all kinds of medical tests on her to find the cause. A tentative diagnosis of irritable bowl syndrome was given but I am unsure about that. I think it's the meds.
She's eating well and is pretty active. She still coughs up her food. But has no diarrhea or lethargy so am not sold on the Irritable Bowl Syndrome diagnosis. I still think her vomiting was from the oral thyroid meds.
Our cat, Pick, will be 17 yrs old in a few months. He was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, which means that most likely he will need to be pilled every day for the rest of his life. No one is thrilled about it. At least the pills are small.
Fucus distichus (pronounced: fiuu-kus), known by the common name Bladder wrack, is a seaweed found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, also known by the common names black tang, rockweed, bladder Fucus, sea oak, black tany, cut weed and rock wrack.
The species is common especially on sheltered shores from the middle littoral to lower intertidal levels. It is rare on exposed shores where any specimens may be short, stunted and without the air vesicles. It is a very variable alga. It can grow to 100 cm or more and is easily recognised by the small gas–filled vesicles that occur in pairs on either side of a central midrib running along the centre of the strap-like frond.
It was the original source of iodine, discovered in 1811, and was used extensively to treat goitre, a swelling of the thyroid gland related to iodine deficiency. A common food in Japan, bladder wrack is used as an additive and flavouring in various food products in Europe. Bladder wrack is commonly found as a component of kelp tablets or powders used as nutritional supplements. It has a reputation in helping the relief of rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis, both used internally and as an external application upon inflamed joints. A chemical constituent of bladder wrack called alginic acid swells upon contact with water; when taken orally, it forms a type of "seal" at the top of the stomach, and for this reason is used in several over-the-counter preparations for heartburn. The same constituent gives bladder wrack laxative properties as well. Other proposed uses of bladder wrack include treating atherosclerosis and strengthening immunity, although there is no scientific evidence at present that it works for these purposes.
Primary chemical constituents of this plant include mucilage, algin, mannitol, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, iodine, bromine, potassium, volatile oils, and many other minerals.
Bladder wrack should not be used in cases of hyperthyroidism or cardiac problems, or during pregnancy and lactation. Excessive dosage may lead to hyperthyroidism, tremor, increased pulse rate and elevated blood pressure.
Steve B: I can actually say that T----m REALLY WORKS!
I have needed to lose weight for a while and now I
can fit into my old clothing again. Not only did I lose
61 pounds, I lost six inches off my waist and just over
six inches off my belly. I took T-----m before each
meal and did not eat after 6:00. I also joined the
gym, used the steam sauna, and swam in the pool
three times a week on average. T-----m brought me
off the couch and got me very motivated. Go T-----m!
She's ill and not getting better. We took her to the vet yesterday and had x-rays taken. They were not conclusive, but suggestive of tumors pressing up against her stomach, which would explain why she has not responded better to the hyperthyroid medication. Today she was really ill, throwing up and unable to keep food down all day and into the night. I'm hopeful, but not optimistic about her prognosis. Truth be told, it looks grim. She's getting increasingly ill with surprising speed and she's lost so much weight (about half ther weight before she initially started to look thin) that it's hard to believe that she can endure a long, severe illness.
A tough year already gets tougher.
My illness contaminates my blood, Manic Depression and Hyperthyroidism was due to an accident that i encounter many years ago and Traumatic Brain Injury is what i've got.
ShBoom had her 16th birthday recently. She's in pretty good health except for hyperthyroidism for which she takes meds daily. She loves to watch leaves blow across the yard--hard to see through the raindrops.
Spike Mulligan is a 12 year old DSH tabby and white kitty. Spike Mulligan is a very affectionate and cute little guy. He is very personable, and spends most of his day in the reception room here at Tree House. He gets along with the other cats. He has recently been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. He takes a daily pill. He is very easy to pill!
Ahja would welcome some positive vibes, flickr friends, as she is going to be all by herself at the animal hospital for radioactive iodine treatment. We look forward to her coming home in 10 days or so, hopefully with some kind of awesome super power, or at least with her hyperthyroidism cured.
Overview
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that is not related to heat or exercise. It can occur in various parts of the body, including the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and face.
Hyperhidrosis can be either primary or secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is caused by overactive sweat glands and usually affects specific areas of the body. Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying medical condition, such as diabetes, menopause, or thyroid problems.
Hyperhidrosis can be an embarrassing and disruptive condition, affecting a person's quality of life and causing social anxiety. It can also lead to skin irritation, fungal infections, and other complications.
Treatment options for hyperhidrosis include antiperspirants, medications, iontophoresis, botulinum toxin injections, and surgery. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment plan for individual cases of hyperhidrosis.
Causes
Hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating, can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Genetics: Some people may have a genetic predisposition to excessive sweating, which means that they are more likely to develop hyperhidrosis.
- Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as hyperthyroidism, menopause, and diabetes, can cause excessive sweating.

The immune system is the human body’s most important line of defense against the many infection-causing pathogens that we encounter every day. White blood cells, originating from stem cells in our bone marrow, patrol the body like microscopic soldiers, finding and destroying hostile organisms like bacteria, parasites and viruses. But what happens if the immune system fails?
In some cases, a weakened immune response will simply miss the invading forces, allowing them to proliferate and make us sick. In others, however, the immune system may mistake the body’s own cells for the pathogens it’s trying to destroy, causing a host of symptoms ranging from irritating to life-threatening. When this occurs, the result is known as autoimmune disease.
The causes of autoimmune disease are enigmatic and poorly- understood. These illnesses appear to run in families, indicating a genetic origin, and some are found more frequently in certain genders and ethnic groups. Exposure to environmental toxins, certain drugs, and some bacterial infections may increase the risk of developing autoimmune problems over time.
Types of Autoimmune Disease
More than 80 different diseases can occur as a result of the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissue. The most frequent symptom of autoimmune conditions is inflammation, which causes redness, pain and swelling, and inhibits proper functioning of certain parts of the body. Patients may experience “flare-ups”, as well as periods where symptoms are less noticeable. Common autoimmune diseases include:
Rheumatoid arthritis. Immune cells attack joint tissue, causing pain, impaired mobility, and, over time, permanent joint damage.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) – The joints, lungs, kidneys, central nervous system and blood cells are affected, causing pain, skin lesions and extreme fatigue, among many other symptoms.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis – The immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing low levels of thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism). Symptoms develop gradually, and include fatigue, depression, hair loss and weight gain.
Psoriasis – An overactive immune response causes skin cells to reproduce rapidly, creating unsightly, uncomfortable and sometimes disfiguring plaques.
Graves’ disease – The immune system stimulates the thyroid to produce excessive amounts of thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism). Symptoms include bulging eyes, excessive weight loss, nervousness and rapid heart rate.
Type 1 diabetes – When the immune system attacks the pancreas, it becomes unable to produce insulin. Type 1 diabetics require insulin injections to survive.
Because many more, less well-known autoimmune diseases exist beyond the “big names”, and because symptoms of autoimmune dysfunction frequently mimic other conditions, misdiagnosis is unfortunately common. Patients sometimes seek appropriate treatment for years without success – a significant challenge for people already dealing with challenging illnesses.
Treatment – Traditional Approaches and New Frontiers
Autoimmune disorders impact many different bodily systems. Treatments vary depending on which parts of the body are most affected. Patients are often prescribed anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs, such as steroids, to control the immune system’s abnormal reaction. These therapies are valuable, but may not promote remission in all patients – and managing symptoms alone doesn’t address the root causes. Fortunately, new research and technology have opened the door for novel approaches that can repair and restore damaged tissues and organ structures, modulating immune response and promoting healthy functioning throughout the body.
One such option is stem cell-based therapies, which offer exciting avenues for innovative treatments – and offer cures – for autoimmune disorders. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the potential to develop into many other kinds of cells. They play a critical role in regulating body function and replacing tissues that have been compromised via environmental toxins, infection, or genetic factors. In stem cell therapy, the patient’s own cells are minimal-invasively harvested and then reintroduced. Other cellular therapies are used to rejuvenate the function of the thymus gland also known as thymus therapy, which modulates the immune system. These therapies, in combination with individualized support protocols to reduce inflammation and stimulate stem cell mobilization, encourage the body to repair itself on a foundational level, establishing a healthy immune response and cell to cell communication.
In addition, overall wellness is critical to successful treatment. Adequate nutrition, targeted supplements, and supervised dietary changes can have a positive effect on many symptoms, as the body works to heal. Psychological stress has been implicated in the development of autoimmune disease, and managing autoimmune disease is stressful – a vicious cycle that can be broken with quality mental health support, and close attention to the vital connections between body and mind. A comprehensive approach – individually targeted, to support the whole patient – is key to battling autoimmune disease, and achieving good health for life.

This card arrived from the clinic where Rusty had her treatment for hyperthyroidism. They were acknowledging the end of my payment schedule.
Part of the message also read: "We are all so happy to see that Rusty is doing well! We've been following her adventures on flickr and loved seeing her escapade with the family of crows ... We hope she continues to have her little adventures and looking so great."
Kahula has packed on the pounds which is good, but these snow pictures she looks horrible. If I add one of her and she looks skinny it's because she was cold and sucking in all her fat and shivering. Also. She has hyperthyroidism as well. So don't jump down my throat about it. Thanks.
To the people who don't know Kahula, I'll write down 10 facts about her. c: -
• She's a Blue Merle Great Dane, with an awesome stripe down her nose. Which I just LOVE.
• She's extremely protective, she's put herself in harms way to keep the neighbors dog away from me. She also won't let anyone around me that she don't know.
• She's attached to my hip, if she's 3ft away from me she comes running.
• She's a big ol' goof ball, she think she's a 100 (or more, she hasn't been weighed in awhile)lbs lap dog.
• She has seperation anxiety.
• She's an extremely smart dog, she's one of our smartest. :3 or well now, she is our smartest.
• She know exactly what to do to make me mad, then she'll do something to make me be happy with her again.
• She's like my guardian angel, she would walk to hell and back with me.
• We think she's inbred, seeing that her mom and her dad disapeared right after her litter.
• She was the third puppy born.
The last four nights away from school has went by horribly. I can't sleep. Right when I fall asleep I end up having a dream about Jesse, so I wake right back up. I hate dreaming. I hate being cooped up in the house as well. With all the snow on the ground it's extremely hard to get out. :\
Right now, Tweaker is tweaking out. He's running in circles, jumping on and off the couch, sliding across the floor. It's hilarious. Tweak is such a character, I don't know what I'd do without his crazyness.
This sucks, we're supposed to get MORE snow. I don't want no more. Plesae no more. I'm tired of the house. I've been here to long. I've been away from Jesse for to long. I'm going to end up flipping out. I can't sit at home like this all day. I can't even go outside for very long though. I freeze and can't feel my fingers and toes, but I still push along to atleast give the dogs a decent walk. I want to actually go back to school even though I hate not being able to go to Culinary but I can't keep sitting here.. I'm glad that we aren't really having a spring break. I'd be freaking out then, but I'd most likely have had some sort of fun seeing that it'll be warmer out.
Homecoming is now the 16th seeing that it was suposed to be today. :\ now I'm going to have to wait even longer. I hate February, stupid love month. fdajlfdaflalfdjafkdak

Checking out the future site of the I-131 room, where cats with hyperthyroidism will be treated with radiioactive iodine.
Neko was treated for hyper-thyroidism, a condition where a tumour within the thyroid glad over-produces various hormones. This results in a variety of symptoms, from weight loss (see how skinny she is now compared to before - she lost over 2 kg), excessive moulting, constant thirst, over-eating, etc.
The treatment consists of Neko being injected with radioactive iodine, which is absorbed by the tumour and kills the affected cells (leaving the healthy ones alone - clever!)
So now I have a radioactive cat! (For about another week, anyway, before it dissipates).
I am looking for the first signs of mutant super-powers developing, but so far, no luck.
How Does Thyroid Affect Infertility?
Does thyroid affect infertility?
The thyroid gland produces a hormone that helps in fetal development. The baby is unable to produce its thyroid hormone and is dependent on its mother. In addition, hormones are responsible for metabolism in the mother's body. Excessive production of these amounts of hormones is called hyperthyroidism and insufficient production is called hypothyroidism. Both conditions can affect your pregnancy
Causes anovulation
Anovulation can be an irregular menstrual cycle or no period, irregular hormone levels cause anovulation.
Leads to miscarriage
Women with low thyroid hormone levels may experience a miscarriage or premature labor. Hypothyroidism makes your menstrual cycle and progesterone levels difficult. This does not allow the egg to attach to the uterus and thus, even if it is included, the mother is unable to provide the fetus with adequate thyroid hormone, resulting in pregnancy loss.
Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or Graves' disease will cause irregular periods in women and men, hyperthyroidism causes low sperm count.
Prolactin level affects infertility
High prolactin levels in the blood in women can prevent ovulation from forming the hormone estrogen. Low estrogen can cause irregular periods or prevent periods altogether, low prolactin levels in men can cause erectile dysfunction and low sex drive.
Midnight hiding in her cage and refusing to come out to see me after I collected blood from her! Don't blame her. <3

Dali has lost a quarter of his body weight during the course of his illness. I hope he can gain some back now that he has had i-131 treatment.
To Lightfoot, a box is a box is a place to sleep, no matter what size it is.
Lady Lightfoot will be in hospital April 25-29, getting radiation treatment to destroy a benign tumor that's making her hyperthyroid. She's not very sick, and this treatment is the safest of the various options, but of course I'm fretting; so please send catloaves and good wishes her way.
