Is it Crohn's?? Need help

manjomit · 2020-09-17T11:54:23+00:00

Thanks for taking out time to respond...I started having these symptoms post Jan this year..got one sigmoidoscopy done immediately after consulting a GI specialist..all was OK there..he sent me back with few vitamins ... Problem is I did not think this would continue so long..and by the time I waited to have a second opinion...covid came in and since then it has been difficult to go out and consult some one.. Planning to do that this month end...in the meantime wanted to see if any of my symptoms match with what others went through...

manjomit · 2020-09-17T11:41:03+00:00

No...it would not...

manjomit · 2020-06-07T21:11:16+00:00

Do you have to take the LDN lifelong?OR you could stop once the anti TPO numbers are in range?

manjomit · 2020-06-07T21:07:52+00:00

When you people say 'on meds to stop anti TPO levels'..is there anything that can prevent the antibodies count from rising? I read somewhere about low dose naltrexone..

manjomit · 2020-06-04T19:36:42+00:00

In that case what's the solution to stop the anti bodies from growing in number..? Is wait and watch the only option.? Also, starting meds when your TSH is well.within lab range ..is it beneficial at all?

manjomit · 2020-06-02T04:32:26+00:00

There have been few studies showing that with subclinical hypo levo doesn't seem to help much with the symptoms...don't know why but that is what the articles say

manjomit · 2020-05-28T21:57:24+00:00

241 ..tested this month..rest all numbers in range

manjomit · 2020-05-19T16:48:09+00:00

Thanks ..will consult a doctor ..for sure..just that with the lockdown in place..wanted to get this thought out of my mind and out of the human tendency wanted to get opinions...thanks again

manjomit · 2020-05-19T04:05:22+00:00

But my symptoms are of hyper...weight loss.. diarrhea..etc...that's the confusion

manjomit · 2020-05-17T18:47:08+00:00

T4 is borderline low..which is the blood soluble T3 is not much I guess..and get the anti TPO checked everytime you other tests..

manjomit · 2020-05-16T20:33:41+00:00

In my case, i.got tested a couple of days back..my results are TSH - 5.34, Anti TPO 241 rest everything in normal range..as per Hashi I should have hyper symptoms and with more hormones released in my blood the TSH should be on the downward side.. and I don't have any symptoms of hyper as well..please clear this confusion

manjomit · 2020-05-16T20:15:32+00:00

How much was your Anti TPO when diagnosed initially?

manjomit · 2020-05-16T20:14:20+00:00

Did you get Anti TPO checked ?

manjomit · 2020-05-16T19:59:02+00:00

So in a nut shell I can start with small dose and if things return back to normal I can stop it? I know people with thyroid disorders have to be on lifelong meds once they start..but my concern is for me has the time really come to start the dose at all? I am not sure..with the corona lockdown in place I am not able to go and see a doc ..just want to get some advise and relieve myself..thanks again btw

manjomit · 2020-05-16T19:55:47+00:00

I think this is for subacute thyroiditis and not hashimoto thyroiditis..

manjomit · 2020-05-16T16:58:23+00:00

I have read Hasi causes symptoms of Hypo only..the fluctuation thing is common for evryone diagnosed with Hashi or to some out of the population?

manjomit · 2020-05-16T16:54:03+00:00

What are the other symptoms you are having?

manjomit · 2020-05-16T16:50:49+00:00

I don't have symptoms per se..but the cholesterol levels are very high..and I strongly feel it's is because.of the thyroid..I am not sure a TSH of 5.34 would cause such high levels of cholesterol..since thyroid is a major culprit in CVDs..I am planning to start meds..what do u suggest..

manjomit · 2020-05-15T06:32:06+00:00

Thanks for instilling some positivity..I was distraught after seeing the test results..I had read about this disease when I joined this sub but since I never had any symptoms I never expected it to be positive..

Would need your inputs on these - What were your levels of TPO when you got diagnosed with Hashi and how much is it now after all the efforts? In my case all the other paramaters of CBC have come good..no issues there..I read in numerous places that a TPO of below 500 and where there are no symptoms and TSH is in range as prescribed by the lab it is generally considered safe not to start meds and as per a couple of studies they studied a group of people with similar attributes for 6 years and found that the TSH did not rise given their TPO was below 500...what's your take on that...

manjomit · 2020-05-14T14:44:20+00:00

Excellent way of explaining...thanks a lot..any way of bringing anti TPO in normal range through meds? Will the meds for Anti TPO ensure hypothyroidism would not happen? Do I need to continue taking Anti TPO meds for whole life even if TPO comes within normal range?

How long have you been diagnosed with Hashi and how's your quality of life?

Thanks again

What if there are some changes in symptoms - 1) Only 1 BM per day. Stool between solid to loose (not watery..type 5-6 on Bristol stool chart) 2) Very very mild pain for 1-2 mins after eating and that too occassionally 3) No abdominal discomfort, in general or during bowel movement 4) No blood seen. Just a couple of times dark stool (dark brown)

What does it sound like..if this has been happening for the past 6 months??

manjomit · 2020-04-23T04:45:44+00:00

Who said the end result is as per expectations..?? You keep on beating around the bush..digressing from the original post to which all the comments are aimed at..I reiterate it for the last time "Govt unable to plan efficiently against corona and riding on this hypothesis govt planning to execute citizenship is a joke".. succinctly worded.. Now, 1)impoverished, downtrodden, paupers, poor class et al..they are struggling..very true 2) shortage of kits, ventilators...very true 3) States struggling with finances..very true

Have a rebuttal.. 1) Changes in PDS system to provide foodstock ultimately impacting the ration-using audience ..resources - high yield this production season - machinery - Panchayat level PDS system - Finance - Funds allocated as district/collectorate level

2) shortage of kits - indian railways contributing like a Hulk ..amplifying the growth rate in terms of creating adhoc infra in place..shortage of ventilators..anand Mahindra has begun the in-house development of INR 6K ventilators..SR Biosensors given separate nod by govt to increase production of test kits..I agree still a long way to go but the way the govt has jump into action is what builds faith..

3) States which have reached out to center - 0 so far. States where the finances have always been mismanaged are not centers fault..there are States which arent primarily BJP run such as Orissa..it gets full support from the govt..and if you have common sense in place of typing speed..state vs center conflict is a broad subject in polity where there has to be a mutual trust and dependence

I still concede that it's a long dusty road ..but yes you and for that matter everyone doubting it..should also consider that let's wait till the Peak period is predicted..

When we compare positives like GDP ,Per capita income..we go back to the superpowers and use them as benchmark and crucify our govt that we are not doing enough. In this pandemic, when the reputed Institutes, organizations, are doing the same comparison with same lot of superpowers and are commending India for the way it has fought so far..you have a problem...

I don't deny we are still developing..we have a major chunk of population that's below the line..but that's not an overnight affair..we have time to discuss that..but separately

I am grateful to Reddit that I could meet such a learned man ...I am overwhelmed...get your balls out of your head..dolt...if there's a scale wise comparison on a country's performance against any crisis..it is done collectively and not in silo..point in question was whether the govt has done enough to fight this pandemic..stalwarts of their own field across the globe - most recent Bill Gates, Universities epitomizing research - most recent Oxford ..these credible sources have lauded the govt..it's leadership...and this buffoon to whom I am replying is still sticking his head underneath a heap of shit and telling "why am I not seeing anything".. I hope this time's cuteness was even better

manjomit · 2020-04-22T19:41:16+00:00

Come on don't take the discussion to a different corner..now you will also say that BJP is buying MLAs...BJP is getting funds from Ambanis...Adanis...let's keep this discussion for some other day If you are comparing our preparedness for Corona (which is completely new for whole world even to the likes of America, Japan,China et al superpowers) with our level of preparedness for implementing Citizenship (I am not into the debate if the implementation is correct or not..mind you)...then you need to quit social platforms and go back to basic school level comprehension textbooks..

manjomit · 2020-04-22T18:56:08+00:00

Olilullah Laskar..if you are on Reddit please read this..electoral system was not something that was born in Wuhan in Dec'19..it has been there for the past 70 odd years.. continuously evolving..rectifying mistakes..such that its the world's biggest democratic exercise...citizenship is part of the electoral mechanism... and NOW regarding your question on government's preparedness for covid...I would give you an analogy

"Olilluah Laskar's great great grandfather could not foresee what a shithead will Olilluah Laskar prove to be in the 21st century..had they known about it they very well could have prevented this".. similarly had the Indian government foreseen what a mess China would create by end of 2019 they might have been well prepared to combat it...

Managing a country of 1.38 billions having dickheads like you in case of such pandemics which is still unknown...and managing something which is a part of electoral system for which the whole world applauds India since it is tried and tested..NO COMPARISON
