Chiron: where is our physical (and mental) wound?

I'm currently reading a book about Chiron (did you know it's actually half asteroid, half comet? me neither), which inspired me to make this post. I'm in no way an expert in medical astrology, just a curious owl that wants to learn more about every branch of astrology out there (my Sag Venus loves it!!🤭)

DISCLAIMER!!! I'm not a doctor. If you've been feeling any symptoms described here, TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR, NOT WITH ME

Observation: Before we dive in, i'd like to mention that the position of Chiron in the houses is important. Not every house placement suggests having a poor physical condition. The most prominent Chiron placements when it comes to having a medical condition are: Chiron in 1st house (house of self, visible illnesses), Chiron in 5th house (illnesses since birth/early childhood), Chiron in 6th house (house of health, if Saturn is also sitting there it points to chronic illnesses), Chiron in 8th house (house of death, may point to severe diseases or poor reproductive health) and Chiron in 12th house (house of the unconscious, deals with mental illnesses)

Honorable mention to Chiron in 3rd house and Chiron in 9th house as they represent accidents while travelling. If Chiron is heavily afflicted in these houses (unless it's also conjuncting Jupiter), it may point to...let's just say you're gonna be in a hospital bed in a vegetative state, but remember, nothing has a 100% possibility of happening, you're just more susceptible to it happening. I suggest checking the position of Chiron in Solar Return charts for the possible timing of it happening (look for Chiron in 3rd house/Chiron in 9th house as it activates your natal Chiron)

Without further do, let's dive in⚕️

Chiron in Aries: frequent headaches, frequent nose bleeds, teeth problems (sensitive teeth, tooth decay), deafness, skull fractures, cerebral anemia, brain tumours, hemophilia, epilepsy, BPD

Chiron in Taurus: frequent colds, frequent voice loss, thyroid problems (goiter, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidis, etc.), tonsilitis, OCD

Chiron in Gemini: lung problems (asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc.), speech problems (stuttering, cluttering, mutism), alzheimer's disease, ADHD, OCD

Chiron in Cancer: frequent stomach pain, prone to lactose intolerance, (for girls) breast lumps, breast cysts, breast infections, nipple discharge, depression, anxiety

Chiron in Leo: prone to insolation, frequent heart palpitations, chest pain, hypertension, hypotension, arteriosclerosis, scoliosis, kyphosis

Chiron in Virgo: frequent bloating, prone to gluten intolerance, chronic allergies, diabetes, rabies, autism, ADHD, OCD

Chiron in Libra: prone to acne, frequent lower back pain, disc herniation, spondylolisthesis, chronic kidney disease, kidney stones

Chiron in Scorpio: frequent pain down there, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV/AIDS, depression

Chiron in Sagittarius: frequent pain in the hips, prone to hips dislocation, cirrhosis, sciatica

Chiron in Capricorn: prone to knees dislocation, osteoarthritis, bone problems (osteopenia, osteoporosis), gout, depression

Chiron in Aquarius: electrical injuries, shin splints, osteofibrous dysplasia, ankle sprain, ankle fractures, poor blood circulation, schizophrenia

Chiron in Pisces: prone to break toes, athlete's foot, bunions, addison's disease, hormonal deregulation, aphantasia, psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety

Yes, i'm aware of the fact that it's a generational planet and it moves very slowly through signs

BONUS: It's important to take into consideration all planets that conjunct, square or opposite Chiron (regardless if they're personal or generational) + the Ascendant for additional info about our illnesses

Ex. Let's take me as an example. My Chiron is in my 10th house in Capricorn squaring Saturn in 4th house (so double Capricorn energy) and Aries Ascendant. Guess what? I've got TMJ (basically a jaw disorder affecting the joints) and i've got it from my fam -_- (Saturn rules tradition i love my fam)

I also believe that having a heavy afflicted Chiron in general makes someone prone to having a medical condition, even if it's not in the houses mentioned previously (like in my case). However, these people are more focused on the main meaning of the house, not their health problems. They tend to ignore their health problems or they just don't care

I hope you enjoyed my post and found it insightful :)

What's your wound? Lmk in the comments your placements and your illnesses

Kisses xoxo

[yourgamemasterthewhiterabbit]

Ig it was closer to 7 years ago? 8 years ago? if I check the actual timeline.

They were like oh shit it looks like you have graves disease really bad we gotta run all these tests, you could die!... For symptoms I had been having on and off since my 20's and telling them about only to be ignored.

Then they were like, no haha it's just the first stages of your immune system tearing your thyroid to shreds and letting it spill all the hormone at once. At this rate there's no need to remove your thyroid because it will die completely within 5 months and fully atrophy.

Are we going to try to stop my immune system from doing that?

No. haha.

What happens when my thyroid dies?

Oh you'll need to be on hormones for life or you'll slowly get so hyperthyroid you can slip into a coma and not wake up. haha, but it's like having and managing diabetes, people live full lives with it.

I'm having severe cardiac symptoms and etc from the obscene thyroid levels, and am unable to sleep for up to 72 hours at a time, can we check back in before 5 months? Maybe do something about the heart symptoms that isn't just knocking me unconscious for 3 days at a time with this blood pressure medication since my blood pressure is still somehow dropping to 60/45 despite the high adrenaline and cortisol and thyroid levels? [my resting heart rate was 120 at the time]

No haha, not necessary, prommy :)

So I took that for the news it was. Within 5 months my continued survival depended on the whims of whether someone would want to give me my meds or not, someone who probably didn't fully understand the severity of the issue, and like many people who rely on insulin, I could be killed by medical neglect at any time. I only had 5 months to live for sure and those 5 months were going to be hell.

I kept having the grave's disease-like symptoms until I figured out on my own to restrict b vitamins and iodine... Off the back of them telling me to slat load for the low blood pressure WITHOUT telling me to avoid iodized salt...

I tried to tell them this had been happening on and off since my early 20's, they told me that "wasn't possible" and "doesn't happen"...

I had one hope and it was that I was right and this had been happening on and off since my 20's and getting better in between.

5 months went by.

Your thyroid is doing fine actually :)

You said it was being torn to shreds. You said I had 5 months.

Yeah but it's fine and your levels are too.

Because I haven't eaten a food with iodine since 5 months ago other then a splash of cream in the morning and have stopped having b vitamins, but my neurologist says I really should be taking extra b vitamins, so just avoiding them in all foods to avoid going hyperthyroid isn't sustainable, so can we maybe entertain removing part of my thyroid so I can have some b vitamins in my diet and don't have to keep myself on the very edge of developing goiter to function?

No. haha. If your immune system keeps attacking your thyroid, it'll just die. You'll notice the symptoms and we'll put you on hormones. If it doesn't keep attacking your thyroid, you'll be fine :)

7+ years and my thyroid just keeps healing itself and taking beatings from my immune system so I have to live on the very edge of having goiter so I don't develop the symptoms of advanced grave's disease at any given time. ... And I had been living that way untreated for gods know how long because the hyperthyroid phases kept getting "diagnosed" as "maybe some kind of mania?" by doctors who don't seem to know what mania even -is- since my teens.

[hint: people who are manic or manic depressive don't generally -stay- manic for 2-6 months at a time without crashing, and aren't as psychologically stable as I was about it all, I was going hyperthyroid periodically and they were brushing it off as a mental health issue, which they also weren't treating because the treatments didn't help... because I wasn't 'manic' I was being flooded with adrenaline, cortisol and unregulated thyroid hormone, and it was getting slightly worse every time]

They have it diagnosed as "hashimotos thyroiditis" because -by mechanism, if not result- that's what it is. I haven't heard of anyone else that doesn't progress to the hypothyroid stage of that and stays stuck in the initial storm of thyroid hormones... But here we are. Hyperthyroid at all times because of *checks notes* aggressively recovering from the hypothyroid disorder, while it's still happening, in perpetuity. [there are two forces inside me]

They effectively gave my 5 months to live independent from care and that was when I was in my mid-late 20's. I am about to be 37.

Every time they catch a level of something actually acting up they go "holy shit more tests that organ seems to be dying!!!" And then when it doesn't and I get better they grasp for an explanation that doesn't -require- they do anything about it, like "you must just have gilbert's, haha" or blaming my personal habits for causing a 'temporary problem'.

I'm like the guy with the liver and the eagle, but the eagle is my immune system and all my tissues take turns.

Did I steal fire from the gods?

The pattern is that my immune system seems to just take turns attacking every system and tissue I have, and in doing so gives each a break long enough to heal in between. But it also means I have this rotating roster of autoimmune symptoms that's ever changing and an ever changing "hey I might qualify as having a kidney disorder this week and I won't know unless I do something to upset it" cycle of trying to figure out what tissue or organ needs my support the most at any given time.

Mostly it means doctors won't believe me, because the symptoms and tests results that were there even two weeks ago are gone now. And when they do believe me, how do you even treat that? Suppress my immune system when doing so will cause 1 of nine specific viruses to re-activate if it's already in my body and near immediately kill me?

I haven't met a doctor willing to acknowledge the genetic lack of proper immune response I have to specific viruses and offer to put me on an anti-viral -like other people with that condition are- at the same time as the immune suppressant. So I won't take the immune suppressant because I don't want to die suddenly and horribly of meningitis or encephalitis the way my mother almost did the moment covid crashed her immune response.

So I just live with it. Legitimately getting very dangerously sick with one autoimmune condition or organ failure problem after another and then bouncing back.

No fucking -clue- what this is doing to the cell lines in my body. Super curious really.

I know the perpetually high bilirubin plays some role in protecting me from aging, tumors and damage because it's an antioxidant. So there's that?

That's kind of why I'm not worried. This has been my reality since my 20s and beyond, and it hasn't killed me yet. Also no doctor has managed to do something useful about it yet other than run tests and give me the results. When they do find something concerning they always end up coming to the conclusion that their best course of action is to do nothing anyway. Especially since the fast metabolism and an additional mutation that makes me process some meds super fast and some super slow makes it kind of challenging to medicate me for anything at all.

[lonewolfel]

So ever sense we saw Caleb one thing has been irking me. The fact that Caleb seemed to have white hair at a young age. 

Like obviously people can have premature white hair but it seems like such a weird detail to have. Especially with the known related characters (Hunter and Philip) having different hair color.

Hunter’s is a two tone (I think that is what you call it) blonde.

And Philip has brown hair.

Now yes it could be a genetic mutation but then the trailer dropped. (Spoilers under the cut)

Caleb looks gaunt and tired. I saw someone make a comment how he might of had a fatal illness and came to the Boiling Isles for a cure so he won’t leave Philip alone (please tell me who said that I want to give them credit).

So while I was bored at work I decided to look at chronic illnesses that could lead to white hair and I came across hyperthyroidism.

So I’ll start out with saying that there is a connection between premature grey/white hair and hyperthyroidism. It doesn’t have any proven research but there is a link and is a believed to be a possible cause.

Then I looked at the symptoms 

Unintentional weight loss, even when your appetite and food intake stay the same or increase

Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia) — commonly more than 100 beats a minute

Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)

Pounding of your heart (palpitations)

Increased appetite

Nervousness, anxiety and irritability

Tremor — usually a fine trembling in your hands and fingers

Sweating

Changes in menstrual patterns

Increased sensitivity to heat

Changes in bowel patterns, especially more frequent bowel movements

An enlarged thyroid gland (goiter), which may appear as a swelling at the base of your neck

Fatigue, muscle weakness

Difficulty sleeping

Skin thinning

Fine, brittle hair

(Mayo Clinic)

Weight loss and fatigue are obvious in that photo. 

What if Caleb experienced worsening tremors which prevents him from being able to carve. I am going to assume that was his job. He possibly could have heard of a folk healer who could cure any illness. Caleb goes to her for healing. Philip follows as well wanting to hang her for being a witch. The witch panics and they all end up in the Demon Realm. 

This will likely be debunked but I don’t care. 

TLTR: Caleb has hyperthyroidism no one can change my mind.

The Evolution of Thyroid medicines From Early Treatments to Modern Solutions

The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating the body’s metabolism, growth, and development.  When the thyroid malfunctions—whether through overactivity (hyperthyroidism) or underactivity (hypothyroidism)—the entire body can feel its effects.  Over the years, thyroid conditions have become more widely recognized, leading to the evolution of effective medications that help manage these disorders.  The development of thyroid medicines has come a long way, transitioning from early rudimentary treatments to modern pharmaceutical innovations that offer patients a higher quality of life.

In this blog, we will explore the history and evolution of thyroid drugs, highlighting how thyroid medicines manufacturers in India and thyroid medicines exporters play a critical role in this process.  Additionally, we will discuss the increasing global demand for thyroid drugs, especially in regions like the Philippines, where thyroid medicines suppliers are crucial in ensuring access to life-saving medications.

The Early Days of Thyroid Treatments

Before modern thyroid drugs were developed, ancient civilizations used various natural remedies to manage symptoms of thyroid disorders.  Historical texts from Egypt, Greece, and China mention goiter, a visible swelling of the thyroid gland, which was often linked to iodine deficiency.  In these ancient times, treatments were rudimentary and primarily focused on addressing visible symptoms like goiter.

In the 19th century, scientific advancements began to shape the course of medical treatments.  One of the first breakthroughs in thyroid treatment came in 1891 when George Murray successfully treated hypothyroidism with thyroid extract derived from sheep.  This was the first instance of hormone replacement therapy and marked the beginning of the pharmaceutical management of thyroid disorders.

The Discovery of Iodine and Its Role in Thyroid Health

In the early 20th century, scientists discovered the importance of iodine in thyroid health.  Iodine is a key component in the production of thyroid hormones—T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine).  It was found that iodine deficiency was one of the main causes of goiter and hypothyroidism.  This discovery led to the development of iodized salt as a preventive measure against iodine deficiency, significantly reducing the incidence of goiter worldwide.

However, while iodized salt helped prevent thyroid disorders caused by iodine deficiency, it did not address all thyroid conditions.  This led to the continued development of thyroid hormone replacement medicines for those with other forms of thyroid dysfunction.

The Emergence of Synthetic Thyroid medicines

In the mid-20th century, researchers made significant strides in developing synthetic thyroid hormones.  The introduction of synthetic levothyroxine (T4) in the 1950s revolutionized the treatment of hypothyroidism.  Levothyroxine, which is identical to the naturally occurring hormone produced by the thyroid gland, replaced the crude thyroid extracts used in earlier treatments.  Its standardized dosage and predictable absorption made it the gold standard for treating hypothyroidism.

Levothyroxine remains one of the most prescribed thyroid drugs globally, helping millions of patients manage their condition effectively.  Today, it is produced by leading thyroid medicines manufacturers in India and other countries, ensuring consistent quality and supply to meet global demand.

In addition to levothyroxine, synthetic T3 drugs, such as liothyronine, were developed to treat hypothyroidism.  While T3 medicines are less commonly prescribed than T4 medicines, they offer an alternative for patients who do not respond well to T4 therapy.

The Modern Approach to Thyroid Treatment

With the advancement of medical research and technology, the approach to thyroid treatment has become more sophisticated.  The focus is now on personalized medicine, where treatments are tailored to the individual’s specific thyroid hormone levels, symptoms, and overall health.

Thyroid hormone replacement therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for hypothyroidism, but doctors now have a better understanding of the nuances in dosing and management.  For example, some patients benefit from a combination of T4 and T3 therapies, while others may require adjustments based on factors like age, weight, and the presence of other medical conditions.

The rise of thyroid medicines manufacturers in India has been instrumental in meeting the growing demand for thyroid medications.  Indian manufacturers are known for producing high-quality, cost-effective thyroid drugs, making these treatments accessible to patients worldwide.  In particular, Indian pharmaceutical companies have made significant contributions as thyroid medicines exporters, ensuring that countries with limited pharmaceutical production capabilities have access to life-saving medications.

Global Demand for Thyroid Drugs

Thyroid disorders are common worldwide, affecting millions of people.  Hypothyroidism, in particular, is a widespread condition that requires ongoing treatment with thyroid hormone replacement drugs.  As awareness of thyroid health increases, so does the demand for effective medications.

India has emerged as a key player in the global pharmaceutical market, with many thyroid drugs manufacturers in India producing a wide range of thyroid medications.  These manufacturers are able to meet both domestic and international demand by adhering to strict quality control measures and complying with global regulatory standards.

Indian companies are also recognized as leading thyroid drugs exporters, supplying medications to countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America.  For example, in the Philippines, thyroid disorders are a significant public health issue.  Thyroid medicines suppliers in the Philippines rely on Indian manufacturers to provide a consistent supply of high-quality thyroid medications to meet the needs of their population.

The Role of Thyroid Drugs Suppliers in the Philippines

In countries like the Philippines, access to reliable thyroid medications is crucial for managing the high prevalence of thyroid disorders.  The Philippines faces unique challenges in terms of healthcare access, particularly in rural areas where medical resources may be limited.  As a result, thyroid medicines suppliers in the Philippines play an essential role in ensuring that patients have access to the medications they need.

By partnering with Indian thyroid drugs exporters, suppliers in the Philippines can provide patients with affordable and effective thyroid treatments.  This collaboration helps address the healthcare needs of a growing population and ensures that patients receive timely and consistent care.

The Future of Thyroid Drugs

As research into thyroid disorders continues to evolve, so too does the development of new and improved thyroid drugs.  Scientists are exploring new ways to optimize hormone replacement therapy, including the development of long-acting thyroid drugs that could reduce the need for daily dosing.  Additionally, advancements in biotechnology may lead to the creation of more personalized treatments based on genetic and molecular profiling.

Another area of focus is improving the delivery of thyroid drugs.  While oral tablets are the standard form of treatment today, researchers are investigating alternative delivery methods, such as transdermal patches and injectable formulations, which may offer more convenient options for patients.

As the pharmaceutical industry continues to innovate, thyroid medicines manufacturers in India are expected to remain at the forefront of these developments, producing the next generation of thyroid treatments.  With a strong presence as both manufacturers and exporters, Indian companies will continue to play a critical role in meeting the global demand for thyroid drugs.

Conclusion

The evolution of thyroid medicines from early treatments to modern solutions is a testament to the advancements in medical science and pharmaceutical manufacturing.  Today, patients with thyroid disorders have access to safe, effective, and affordable treatments that allow them to lead healthy, normal lives.

India’s pharmaceutical industry, particularly thyroid medicines manufacturers and thyroid medicines exporters, has played a key role in ensuring that thyroid medications are available to patients worldwide.  In regions like the Philippines, thyroid medicines suppliers are essential in meeting the needs of those affected by thyroid disorders, helping them access the treatments they require.

As we look to the future, continued innovation and collaboration within the pharmaceutical industry will further enhance the quality and accessibility of thyroid medicines, ensuring that patients everywhere receive the best possible care.

Oh- right- so I had this talk with someone who also had thyroid problem. I have hyperthyroidism and it’s why my metabolism is fast. But side effect is goiter which is awful because I’m a woman but with Adam’s apple. Which may be cool I guess. But I’m taking meds anyway. But hey- so that person who also had hyperthyroidism NOW has hypothyroidism. Which means she’s no longer thin- our hated word, fat. And she said however she tries to eat less, it’s just hard for her to lose weight. Damn this problem with thyroid. I of course want to get well. But I wouldn’t want to develop hypothyroidism. It’s gonna end my ana lifestyle. End of rant

Thyroid disorders are conditions that affect the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck. The thyroid has important roles to regulate numerous metabolic processes throughout the body. Different types of thyroid disorders affect either its structure or function.

The thyroid gland is located below the Adam's apple wrapped around the trachea (windpipe). A thin area of tissue in the gland's middle, known as the isthmus, joins the two thyroid lobes on each side. The thyroid uses iodine to produce vital hormones. Thyroxine, also known as T4, is the primary hormone produced by the gland. After delivery via the bloodstream to the body's tissues, a small portion of the T4 released from the gland is converted to triiodothyronine (T3), which is the most active hormone.

The function of the thyroid gland is regulated by a feedback mechanism involving the brain. When thyroid hormone levels are low, the hypothalamus in the brain produces a hormone known as thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) that causes the pituitary gland (located at the base of the brain) to release thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to release more T4.

Since the thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, disorders of these tissues can also affect thyroid function and cause thyroid problems.

There are specific kinds of thyroid disorders that includes:

• Hypothyroidism

• Hyperthyroidism

• Goiter

• Thyroid nodules

• Thyroid cancer

Hypothyroidism results from the thyroid gland producing an insufficient amount of thyroid hormone. It can develop from problems within the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus. Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include:

• Fatigue

• Poor concentration or feeling mentally "foggy"

• Dry skin

• Constipation

• Feeling cold

• Fluid retention

• Muscle and joint aches

• Depression

• Prolonged or excessive menstrual bleeding in women

Some common causes of hypothyroidism include:

• Hashimoto's thyroiditis (an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation of the thyroid gland)

• Thyroid hormone resistance

• Other types of thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid), such

[mcatmemoranda]

Hypothyroidism

Clinical features – The clinical manifestations of hypothyroidism are highly variable, depending upon the age at onset and the duration and severity of thyroid hormone deficiency. Common symptoms of thyroid hormone deficiency include fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, myalgia, and menstrual irregularities. Physical examination findings may include goiter (particularly in patients with iodine deficiency or goitrous chronic autoimmune thyroiditis [Hashimoto's thyroiditis]), bradycardia, diastolic hypertension, and a delayed relaxation phase of the deep tendon reflexes. Serum concentrations of thyroid peroxidase (TPO) autoantibodies are elevated in more than 90 percent of patients with hypothyroidism due to chronic autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's thyroiditis).

●Diagnosis – The diagnosis of hypothyroidism is based primarily upon laboratory testing. In most patients with symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism, the serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) should be the initial test. If the serum TSH concentration is elevated, the TSH measurement should be repeated along with a serum free thyroxine (T4) to make the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. If central hypothyroidism is suspected (eg, presence of pituitary or hypothalamic disease), or if the patient has convincing symptoms of hypothyroidism despite a normal TSH result, we measure serum TSH and free T4.

•Overt primary hypothyroidism – If the repeat serum TSH value is still high and the serum free T4 is low, suggesting primary hypothyroidism, replacement therapy with T4 should be initiated.

•Subclinical hypothyroidism – Patients with a high serum TSH concentration and a normal serum free T4 concentration may have subclinical hypothyroidism.

•Central hypothyroidism – In patients with central hypothyroidism, the serum free T4 value is low-normal or low and serum TSH may be frankly low, inappropriately normal (for the low T4), or slightly high (5 to 10 mU/L) due to secretion of biologically inactive TSH.

●Differential diagnosis – The differential diagnosis of an elevated serum TSH concentration includes resistance to TSH, recovery from nonthyroidal illness, and a TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma.

●Identifying the cause of hypothyroidism – The clinical evaluation of a patient with primary hypothyroidism should be directed toward confirming the presence and identifying the cause of the hormone deficiency. The history, for example, may uncover past treatment of hyperthyroidism with radioiodine or thyroidectomy, the use of drugs that affect thyroid hormone synthesis, or history of iodine deficiency or excess. We do not routinely measure TPO antibodies in patients with primary overt hypothyroidism, because almost all have chronic autoimmune thyroiditis.

●Screening

•We suggest not performing population-based screening for hypothyroidism (Grade 2C). As an alternative, we prefer to screen individuals who are at increased risk for hypothyroidism.

•Measurement of serum TSH (rather than free T4 or total T4) is an excellent screening test for hypothyroidism in ambulatory patients. However, TSH alone may not be a useful tool for the diagnosis of hypothyroidism if pituitary or hypothalamic disease is known or suspected; in hospitalized patients, since there are many other factors in acutely or chronically ill euthyroid patients that influence TSH secretion; and in patients receiving drugs or with underlying diseases that affect TSH secretion.

•The universal screening of asymptomatic pregnant women for hypothyroidism during the first trimester of pregnancy is controversial. We suggest a targeted approach rather than universal screening (Grade 2C). We favor screening pregnant women if they are from an area of moderate to severe iodine insufficiency, have symptoms of hypothyroidism, a family or personal history of thyroid disease, or a personal history of TPO antibodies, type 1 diabetes, class 3 obesity, head and neck radiation, recurrent miscarriage, or infertility.

Thyroid Disease: Understanding Symptoms, Causes & Risk Factors

The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in maintaining various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and energy production. Thyroid diseases occur when this butterfly-shaped gland produces either too much or too little thyroid hormone. Early detection and proper management are vital for maintaining a healthy and balanced life.

Types of Thyroid Disease

Thyroid disease can take many forms, but the most common include:

Hypothyroidism – When the thyroid gland is underactive and does not produce enough hormones, leading to sluggishness.

Hyperthyroidism – An overactive thyroid gland produces excessive hormones, speeding up body processes.

Thyroid Nodules – Small lumps or growths within the thyroid that may be benign or, in rare cases, cancerous.

Thyroid Cancer – Although rare, it is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.

Symptoms of Thyroid Disease

The symptoms vary depending on whether the thyroid is underactive or overactive.

Symptoms of Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid):

Fatigue or tiredness

Unexplained weight gain

Sensitivity to cold

Depression

Dry skin and thinning hair

Constipation

Slow heart rate

Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid):

Nervousness or anxiety

Rapid heartbeat (palpitations)

Weight loss despite increased appetite

Sweating and intolerance to heat

Tremors in the hands

Difficulty sleeping

Frequent bowel movements

Causes of Thyroid Disease

Several factors can contribute to thyroid disorders, including:

Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like Hashimoto’s disease (leading to hypothyroidism) and Graves’ disease (causing hyperthyroidism) are common triggers of thyroid dysfunction.

Iodine Deficiency: Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, and a lack of it can lead to goiter or hypothyroidism.

Genetics: Family history plays a significant role in the likelihood of developing thyroid conditions.

Radiation Exposure: Individuals exposed to radiation, particularly in the neck area, may have an increased risk of thyroid disorders.

Medications: Some drugs can interfere with thyroid function, leading to abnormalities in hormone production.

Risk Factors for Thyroid Disease

Some individuals are more prone to thyroid disorders due to certain risk factors, such as:

Age and Gender: Women, particularly those over 60, are more likely to develop thyroid disease.

Family History: A family history of thyroid disorders increases the risk of developing these conditions.

Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can sometimes trigger thyroid disorders like postpartum thyroiditis.

Smoking: Smoking, especially when combined with iodine deficiency, can increase the risk of thyroid disease.

Diagnosis and Treatment

If you suspect thyroid disease, it's essential to consult a specialist. Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam, blood tests to measure hormone levels, and imaging tests like ultrasound or a thyroid scan.

Treatment depends on the specific type of thyroid disorder:

Hypothyroidism: It is treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy.

Hyperthyroidism: Anti-thyroid medications, radioactive iodine treatment, or surgery may be recommended to manage excessive hormone production.

Thyroid Nodules and Cancer: Surgery is often necessary to remove nodules or malignant thyroid tissue.

So I think either my immune system has calmed down enough by now, or my thyroid has died off or healed enough by now that I seem to have my iodine levels as low as they can go without causing goiter, while still being able to eat as much dairy as I want, and when I go hyperthyroid it's only a little bit, the way I was like 10+ years ago.

Which means I should be able to have B vitamins properly again without terrible consequences.

So I went out and got multivitamins today.

Today is day 1 of multi vitamins.

I probably won't take them daily because that might be a bit much for how my body processes stuff...

But if I have any kind of deficiency, it will be cured.

My starting point here was:

May hair has been growing back in over the year I have lived alone and I finally managed to gain and keep on 20 pounds without having to eat excessively. But I still have so many health problems including extreme and increasing brain crankiness, and low energy levels.
