is it possible that my dosage isn't effective because even though I am on a diet I am still struggling to lose the weight?
Answer:
Depends how long you have been on it, it takes about 3 weeks to kick in. My daughter used her condition to help loose weight by not having the correct medication, now she is at risk of a heart attack. Hypothyroidism has more serious issues related to it than weight. The only person who can help is your doctor.
Have a blood test
In addition to eltroxin , you may try the homeopathic medicine Calcarea Carb. 30 taken few pills 3-4 times a day for a month. If it makes you feel better, then you can try Calcarea Carb. 200 taken once a day for a a fortnight and then Calcarea Carb. IM once a week for 4 weeks.
I also have hypothyroidism and I am also taking eltroxin 0.1mg.
You didn't tell me your dosage..
BUT it takes about 3 to 4 week to be in your blood stream
and then another blood test must tell you if the dosage you are
taking is meeting the normal values on the T3 T4 and T7.
Your doctor, when result are presented to him will then
titrate your medication, slowly until you start to feel better...
The medfication alone will not work as a diet aid.you must
eat less and right, and you also must exercise..
Yes, it is possible that you aren't on enough medication. Most likely your doctor is adjusting the dosage by TSH. TSH must always be done first thing in the morning to get the most accurate reading. Also, the morning TSH needs to be around 1.0 for weight loss to happen with diet %26 exercise.

I have history of frequent UTI's, over the last 2 yrs, every 6-8 weeks, who should i consult after PCP?
Otherwise, i am a healthy woman, i did consult a urologist once last year, he just suggested making changes to my diet (low acidic foods-no red sauce, etc...) what to do??
Answer:
Aside from the obvious things:
Wiping front to back, urinating after intercourse, no pops or bubble baths you should drink two 8 oz glasses of cranberry juice a day. It prevents the bacteria from attaching to the bladder wall. You also could speak to your physician about putting you on a medication like Oxybutin Chloride or you may need a antibiotic daily. I suggest you find a different urologist if that one is not willing to work with you.
While you have the uti's you can take pyridium until you can get to the doctor and for the first few days while on your antibiotic. It can be purchased over the counter but will turn your urine yellow or orange. Also, Cystex is wonderful otc drug also to help with uti's. You can take it after activities that might lead to the uti, ie: intercourse. Good Luck.
I'd recommend seeing another urologist. There has to be a greater problem here than just dietary issues.
I suggest you see an internist or other urologist. Diet also contribute to that. Drink plenty of water every day at least 2 liters or drink buko juice.
I would go to your OBGYN and see what that doc says. Then if you still aren't happy with the answers see another urologist from a different office. You are allowed to get second opinions. The basic rule of health is, it is your body and you need to know what is going on. If your insurance is an issue call them, be very clear what your issue is, and be patient. Explain that your situation, ask what they suggest you do. It may take time but work their system. The further you go up the food chain (or ladder) the more likely you are to get the approvals you need. Good luck.

I have high cholesterol and I'm starving?
About Two weeks ago i went to the doctor. He told me that i have High Cholesterol.. And that i can't eat Red Meats. I've been eating nothing but fish, Salmon, nuts, Fruit. vegs. and i'm sick of it!. I'm a big red meat eater. I dunno what to eat. In top of that i'm taking antibiotics therefore i have to eat 4! Times a day so i can take that pill. I go to the gym everyday. I quit smoking (about 4 months ago). But i'm going nuts!! I'm hungry. i feel tired coz i rather not eat. i go to the grocery store and they sell nothing but fat things. i need a snack. Please Advice.
Answer:
I know what you mean girlfriend.I was just like you at one time.Mine was over 600 at one time.Then it came down to 283.with no drugs.I started a low fat [saturated] diet and now it is 163.
Try eating lots of wheat bread and lean turkey.Also add more vegetables to your diet.Don't eat just any nuts.Almonds are low in fat and they are recommended by my doctor.
Fruits are a great way to snack.But make sure they aren't in heavy syrup.I also eat tuna fish sandwiches.You can still splurge once a week with a meal you like.
Read the labels on foods to see that they don't contain saturated fats.
I also take 500 ml of garlic a day.This helps keep your heart healthy and cut down on your cholesterol.try this link: www.cholesterol.about.com
Exercise more. My girlfriend's dad is a martial arts expert, is in his fifties, eats lots of red meat and is as healthy as a bull with perfect cholesterol levels. However, he does take care of his body too, by downing healthy foods like the occasional bowl of oatmeal in the morning.
Removing red meats from your diet because a doctor thinks that this might lower your cholesterol is stupid. I am not a doctor but I am a person is capable of research. Firstly, a doctor might tell a patient that their cholesterol is high without telling them what the numbers are. If the good cholesterol ( HDL ) is making the total cholesterol number high then your cholesterol is probably just fine. If the bad cholesterol ( LDL ) is what's making the total high then that is another story.They don't tell them anything about ratios. Also, what you want to do is raise your natural statin, glucagon,in order to lower the bad cholesterol. To activate your glucagon you have to stabilize your insulin. By removing the things that you think causes high cholesterol, you are probably rasing your insulin levels, hence you are hungry. By raising insulin levels you will paralyze any glucagon activity. There is just to many unanswered questions on your doctor's part to demand you to give up red meat. My cholesterol is well within the "normal" range and I EAT my red meat. I eat my chicken, fish,asparagus and zuchini also. One thing that I don't eat are foods that make my insulin run haywire. Eat to stabilize your insulin and you will normalize your cholesterol.

I have herpes and like i been takin valtrex?
but for some reason i still have the bumps
and stuff idk what to dothey itch like crazy at times like bug bites i got tested and came back negative for any other disease
i only have herpesbut like i just went to the bathroom and like the theres alot of red bumpswhy is this happenin
i feel so stressed out right now
Answer:
How long have you been on valtrex? It takes alittle while to treat an outbreak especially if it was your first. When I first started taking valtrex I did really good with 500mg daily and then my doc told me to take 1000mg the next month. Everytime I take the 1000mg tablets I get outbreaks but I have never ever got one on 500. Weird I know but that's just the way it works for me. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about changing your dose. I have been there and freaked out myself about it but really try not to stress so much cause stress actually causes you to get outbreaks. Also you don't need the extra drama it will get better I freaked out so much in the beginning and now I barely even remember I have it and you will to.
mayhbe ur having an alegeic reaction to the medication try a differnent one or a stronger doseage. see ur doctor
Are you taking the day to day medication or the medication for an outbreak? It is important to take the outbreak medication. I have this disease also and I have been told to take medication only if I have an outbreak to prevent myself from becoming desensitzed and avoid potential damages caused by the medication. Go to the doctor or even call and tell them it hasn't gone away. My first outbreak took two full perscriptions to go away, and it has not been back since.

Answer:
I think you'll have to get your product tested and certified from some Chemical Laboratory before you can start marketing it.
I want, I want, I want. For a holistic type, you sure want a lot. Doubt your product works, but if it does, contact some of the holistic distribution companies for better information.
you need to get introduce it to a production company and see if they would like to see your product

I have heart palpitations but when i take antibiotics they stop?
i have heart palpitations and the doctors ran alot of test and all nagative of the heart!but i was placed on augmentin 800 mg for a bladder infection well they stopped for about a month.then i was put on them again for my swollen wisdom teeth and they stopped again!is there somthing in my body causing them and the antibiotics are killing it but not all the way!i sound crazy but its very possible!
Answer:
Did your doctor actually see the palpitations on the monitor or hear them? What it might be is actually not your heart but the increased blood volume that occurs with an infection. You might simply be able to "feel" your body's increased blood cell counts when you have an infection because there is more pressure when your blood volume is higher from the extra white cells and higher temp associated with an infection. Some people can "feel" if their blood pressure is high because of the pressure it puts on their necks and heads. The hear or feel a "Whoosh, whoosh" when their heart beats. That is simply because some people are more sensitive to their own bodies.
this is a question for your Dr my dear =good luck
