the confused THYROID

WHAT CAUSES ALL THIS CONFUSION, FLUCTUATION & DRAMA?

too little or too much production of thyroid hormones.......or extra flesh
AKA: GOITER (i will not post a picture)
so if you have a goiter.....and had question due to lack of dr's visits
your an ass hole, GO TO THE DR YOU HAVE A GOITER
and your welcome......i am here to solve all your problems!

Thyroid Problems:

Hyperthyroidism: OVER PRODUCTION of hormones
can be caused by Graves disease/enlarged thyroid: autoimmune disorder
the immune system turns against itself attacking the thyroid causing over production

Hypothyroidism: NOT ENOUGH hormones in the blood
caused by an autoimmune issue called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis


WHAT IS YOUR THYROID GLAND?
the smallest gland in your body weighing about an ounce
located in the front of your neck in a butterfly like shape
IT'S JOB?
The Thyroid takes iodine form your food & combines it with tyrosine to create hormones T4 & T3.
from there the hormones are released into blood stream to control your metabolism.

The Pituitary Gland controls the Thyroid Gland
if the thyroid isnt performing properly
the little peanut pituitary secretes THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) to aide in the balancing process

The Hypothalamus Glad controls the Pituitary Gland
this gland located in the brain creates the TSH & is sent to the pituitary if doesnt get the message from the thyroid

WHAT A HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP THESE LIL GLANDS HAVE :)



how can you tell
if you have too little,
too much,
or a gioter?

A MIRROR
& these symptoms:
high body temp,
increased appetite,
depression,
fuzzy thoughts,
low blood pressure,
fluid retention,
slow reflexes
& fatigue
all can be caused by
-poor nutrition
-stress/cortisol
-deficiencies in
Vit A, Magnesium & Iron
even
-genetics
as well as
pregnancy: postpartum
& menopause

if you have any of these symptoms
please consult your doctor
there are alternative medical solutions
but never self diagnose
or supplement on your own
you never want to play with your hormone levels
without the supervision or advise of a specialist

and please do something about the goiter
