Last week Mary Shomon author of several books on thyroid disease explained how the thyroid, that butterfly shaped “little engine that could” in your neck, sometimes can’t. IT is the regulator of cellular energetics and metabolism on a big scale, so an autoimmune attack like postpartum thyroiditis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis can cause a real problem on several system fronts. The meaning for you? Any combo of symptoms that are subtle, cover seemingly unrelated systems and gradually appear should always provoke at least a fleeting thought of thyroid problem to your clinician. The test is TSH and is simple and cheap. Up to 15% of women and a smaller number of men have thyroid disease. It’s an often unappreciated problem and the fix is simple. Stay on the med your doc finds a balance with, then watch out for subs at the Rx. Different replacement hormones may affect your condition differently.
