Disclaimer: I'M NOT A DOCTOR OR A THERAPIST! I'm just sharing a little bit about my thyroids,and what I've learned.Also,I want to add I'm pulling bits,and pieces from different web sites to put this blog post together.
Listen to your body.Boy, if that isn't a true statement I don't know what is.I had went to my doctor,and she recently called to tell me she wants me to take a ACTH STIMULATION TEST. I sounded a bit hesitant on the phone about taking such a test.Because one,I never heard of any thing called an ACTH before,and this test has some thing to do with your cortisol.
OK! Let me explain a little further in detail,why I'm writing this post.I recently went to my Endocrinologist because I was feeling a bit bad.I have the symptoms of hypothyroid.Hypothyroidism is a condition of thyroid hormone when the thyroid gland fails to produce or secrete as much thyroxine as the body needs.Your thyroid is a gland that covers three sides of your throat.The hormones of the the thyroid gland helps to regulate adrenaline,epinephrine,and dopamine.For a more in depth info on your thyroid click here.
To go even a little further back. In the mid 90's I discover that on the side of my face,and nose was peeling,and I was feeling tired and sluggish all the time,and I couldn't swallow without feeling like I had something in my throat.Also,I use to could go on a diet with ease and lose some weight,but with the symptoms I was feelingI couldn't.Back then the symptoms that I was feeling I had a hard time describing to my doctor.Because at that time the symptoms were new to me.To make a long story short I had to go through a whole slew of doctors to take some test ,and them telling me every thing was ok.I knew I was feeling bad,it was a matter of finding out what was wrong.
Finally,I remember that my mom had told me about her thyroids ,and hers being removed.So I told my family physician, and she order a test and boom! I had some thing wrong with my thyroids.I was kind of relieved,and disappointed at the same time.I knew I felt bad,but I had to take on a new challenge of dealing with my thyroids that I knew little about.I mean I knew my mother had hers removed,and yes she explain to me why the doctor remove hers,but it just was like she was speaking to me in another language.Oh! as far as the peeling of the skin on my face and nose.It came from very,very dry skin.
Now that I gave a little back ground history on how I discover I had thyroid problems per se.I'm going to go back to where I first started,well sort of. The ACTH test is a test that to see how your adrenal gland is working.Here's in an more in depth look at what hypothyroid ,and and your adrenal gland makes a connection.Click here.
