I am 38yrs old single woman. I am on Oroxine (2 tablets per day 100mcg), The Dr who treat me for thyroid, said I am having "Hashimoto Disease". My period was regular (though the dates vary each month). I missed my period for April 07. Middle of May I had my menses and it was heavy until I had to seek medical help and was put on hormone tablets. When I check with the Dr, he said no indication of perimenapouse. My problem is since April I been sweating especially at night and somedays I had to wake up to change my dress. My throat %26 lips also dries and I had to consume water before resume sleep. Somedays I cannot sleep until 2 - 3 am. Despite night sweating, I feel chilling cold while at office. 12noon when everyone complaining warm, I would be feeling cold and wearing jacket and often feel sleepy and lethargy. If anyone has similar issue, please share with me.
Answer:
You need to go back to your doctor with all of these new symptoms for a new check up and a proper diagnosis.
The disease thing don't worrie about it. All it is, is a fancy way to say you have big sweat pours, hmm... coldness ask your fellow workers if they feel it or same thing happening to them . The air at your work your have gotten alot of anti-freeze work by gas station old one? I'm no sicetist but im just trying to help. Your welcome!! #$# bye.
I have Hashimoto's disease, and that is pretty similar to how I felt in the beginning stages of the disease. Basically, as I am sure your doc told you, your body has built up antibodies to your thyroid. The initial stages are when your thyroid is in overdrive- you're hyperthyroid. It's alot like having your body put in fast-forward, you sweat more, breathe more, your heart rate is higher, and you don't stay hydrated as well. Later, it slows down so you feel colder, more lethargic, and your bp and heart rate may drop. Hashimoto's makes you less able to tolerate any extreme temperature, and it doesn't even have to be that extreme. It gets better as your body becomes more regulated to your meds.
Send me a message if you have any questions, I ended up having multiple tumors in my thyroid, and needed removal.
Night sweats could be a sign that menopause is just around the corner. You are not too young to have the symptoms.
Hot flashes can occur any time of the day or night. That doesn't mean you won't feel chilled at other times.
Unpleasant symptoms can occur 10 years before the cessation of menses.
Sleep disturbances can come from so many sources - it can be really hard to pin it down.
Food or drink (Caffeine)
Excitement or Concern
Strong interest (reading -movie - waiting up for kids - working on a project)
Medication or physical conditions
Too much or too little sleep as a pattern
Days and night can get mixed-up
If your symptoms are disturbing to you - check it out with your Dr. Hormones can be a positive direction to mitigate symptoms.
Hishimoto's Thyroiditis can be caused by Celiac disease, which may be responsible for many of your other symptoms too. Celiac disease and thyroid problems were common on one side of my family. I'd often get chills and Raynaud's syndrome too, which I now know was caused by consuming dairy products.

ParaGuard IUD. Scheduled to get one and was wondering if anyone had any serious complications/side effects.?
I did some research and found a lot of ppl had serious side effects w/ the Mirena IUD and didn't really find much on the ParaGuard IUD. If anyone has any experience w/ either of these please help! Although, I'm leaning toward the Paraguard b/c it has no hormones. Thanks in advance!
Answer:
I have Mirena and love it. I had spotting off and on for the first six months but now it has settled down and I have a very light period once a month. I used to have very heavy painful periods so I am very happy. I wish I would have gotten it sooner.
I have had Paraguard for about 3 months. My periods are a bit heavier and last for about a week. Other than that I have no problems with it.

Pap smear etiquette?
of all my pap smear appointments, this is the first time i forgot to check my calendar before scheduling the check-up. my appointment is tomorrow afternoon and i just got my period - is it rude to keep my appointment or should i call and reschedule?
Answer:
I just had this problem today.
My period started yesterday and my appointment was today.
The answer to your question, if your cycle is light, they will go ahead and continue, but if it is heavy, then you need to reschedule.
call and reschedule
Reschedule, they don't want to test you with your period.
reschedule - they won't be able to get what they need if your flow is too heavy.
I have always rescheduled. I don't think they appreciate you coming in with that going on. When I've called and told them what was going on they would always reschedule me.
yep call and reschedule
Call and reschedule! They won't care, just tell them why. I do that a lot. Besides, you'll be wasting your money and their time if you go.the results are more likely to be abnormal.
Reschedule... I dont thik the doctor wants any blood..
reschedule it
you are supposed to call and reschedulr i think it it can mess with the results
Reschedule. Having a pap test during your period can alter the results.
put yourself in the doctors shoes, or hands for that matter... reschedule
yea id reschedual.
You have to reschedule, they can't get a proper smear.
It's best to go about a week before your period begins, so my Dr says.
Q. Can having a Pap test during menstruation effect the results? I've heard not to get one during this time. Can it cause abnormal results? Why is this?
A. You're right about what you've heard: women don't usually have Pap tests done during their periods. Menstruation itself does not cause abnormal Pap smear results but, menstrual blood makes abnormal cervical cells difficult to see. (You see a lot of blood cells instead).
It's recommended that women schedule a Pap test between ten and twenty days following the start of their periods. It's also important not to douche, apply vaginal medication, and/or insert spermicide (as foam, cream, jelly, film, suppository, or tablet) for about two days before the exam because they may remove or obscure abnormal cells, preventing the most accurate test reading.

Best wishes! =)
reschedule - I don't think doctor's necessarily mind when you have your period (they've seen it all), but you can't get as accurate of test results when you are bleeding. if you can't reschedule, I'm sure they'll just do their best - no worries.
I'd say give them a call. I had the same thing happen to me. I called; they said come on in if my flow wasn't too heavy yet.
most doctors won't do a pap smear when you are on your period...not accurate enough.
You don't have to reschedule. Having your period will not affect your results.
However, I've always rescheduled for modesty reasons.
More importantly, if you've been using tampons, and they rub in there, they can cause perfectly normal, unharmful tissue regeneration (aka healing), the rapid growth of cells on a pap smear looks like it could be cancer. Then you get called back, and you have to do it again, and you have to be worried for no reason, etc etc.
Your call, really. But next to what your doctor sees every day, a period is no big deal.
Call and reschedule - the blood etc can obscure the results or the test, so they would have to do it again later.
Rude is not the problem. Accuracy of cultures and your PAP smear will be messed up by the menstrual discharge.
[ OR/GYNs are not phased by blood - they deliver babies, remember? ] Re- schedule.

Panty sniffing by brother in law (jijaji)?
i have to reside in my sisters house for sometime. my brother in law (jijaji) is a well behaved and cultured man who is also a poet. his behaviour towards me is also decent and nice. but i have noticed that he used to sniff my panties and underarm portion of my garments. one day i saw him sniffing my panty from the window. what could be the reason? should i report this matter to my sister as she is quite ignorant about it.
Answer:
there are pheremones secreted by females that are chemical scent attractants to males. It may not smell good to you but to us its like smelling pancakes on a sunday morning! I have to admit, I've been married for 8 years, but I still go in the hamper once in a while, find some panties, check for stains, and take a nice long wiff every once in a while. Usually when she's not home and I'm thinking about her.
yes you need to tell your sister exactlyw hat hes doing..this is sick an wrong..who knows what he'll try next...and id seriously thinka bout leaving asap...good luck..some people have these fetishes but for your bro., in law to do this to you??i wouldnt trust him at all
yes but gather some evidence first before you tell her. like take a photo of your brother-in-law sniffing your undies or something. he might deny it when your sister confronts him or even worse, your sister might refuse to believe you(yes, there have been instances that a sister or relative would rather side with the accused).
It is not real clear how your brother in law is getting into your laundry and standing in front of a window sniffing it. If it truely is that bold, I would think that your sister already knows about it.
no you shouldnt, all men get these crazy stuff in them. the best thing to do is to leave the house because that might cause trouble.
yeah he sounds like a real lulu.

Painful lump in armpit?
I shaved my armpits on Saturday and during my netball match that day it felt like really bad chaffing. The area was red and very painful. The next day whilst in the shower I felt a pea sized lump where the red inflammed area was. So for the last two days I have applied paw paw cream and the lump is getting smaller. Should I be concerned and go to the doctor straight away or just wait a few more days to see if the lump disappears completely?
Answer:
Before going to the doctor go in a really well lite room with a mirror. Look under your armpit for an ingrown. You may not be able to see it but since you said you shaved and if you shave often, this could be the cause of your lump. Ingrowns can be extremely painful.
If the lump does have a hair in it, get a clean pin or needle, dip it in some rubbing alcohol or peroxide and try to dig it out. This will not be the most pleasant but in the morning the pain will be gone as well as the swelling which is causing a lump.
After digging the hair out, if there is one in there, be sure to wash the area with some good old soap and water and don't apply deodorant to the area until the next morning.
Good Luck!
Better be safe than sorry. Go asap and have it checked out. You will be glad you did.
this could be a cist, i get them sometimes they feel like a bruise to touch and are under the skin and feel hard. they go away after a few days, but as this is near the breasts its always good to get it checked out by your gp.

It's probably nothing to worry about. I have heard of something in deodorant that can get into your pores that causes this reaction. If it were me, I would wait a day or so, if it doesn't go away, call a Dr.
It sounds to me like an ingrown hair. They suck! When the hair comes in you can pluck it, NOT shave it, and then the puss will come out and will heal after that. Or else try rubbing some alcohol [the kind of cuts] on it. It will do wonders, although it may sting a bit. You don't have to go to the doctor for that. Just do that and it should clear up within a week, more than likely 3 days.
I think it might be an ingrown hair, which if u don't kno is a hair that did not grow straight out and instead grew under the skin, making it inflammed and wat not. It will go away naturally, i would suggest u not worry bout it cus i get them all tha time, but if u can't help it, u could always go to the doctor.

Painful bumps before/during period...?
I get painful bumps, around 2 or 3 each time before/during my cycle. I can understand them on my face, but these are in my pubic hair. And NO, I don't have any types of diseases or anythings. I am just curious to know if these are just plain zits in my pubic hair or some other miracle that occurs while on my cycle.
Answer:
thats funny cause today im reading your question and mines started today wit the same thing. must be a women thing...
They're probably just blocked pores. Treatments don't affect those much and aren't necessary. BUT there is absolutely no way to even guess about what a "bump" might be without an exam. Your bump could be anything from a plugged mucus gland to a swollen cyst to a wart to... have you considered showing it to your gynecologist? I would definitely go ask either gynecologist or a dermatologist.
You might want to shave it.
I get the same thing to during my period i asked my mom she said she would take me to the doctor. But then it goes away rite after my period. I am curious too thats a really good question well to me!!

Painful bowel movements on period?
Does anyone else find it uncomfortable when on the first day of your period? It's really weird, I don't get it any other time. It's not even like constipation. Why does this happen?
Answer:
Many women have minor bowel problems when they have their period. Some women get constipated, others have loose stools, others have more frequent stools.
It's most likely due to a combination of factors, which is why it can be different for each woman. For instance, some women retain water during their period, which can cause bloating and overall abdominal discomfort. It just feels kind of like there's just not enough room in the abdomen.
Also, the uterine contractions (the same ones that cause menstrual cramps) can cause the bowel to contract as well, which can cause discomfort.
My best advice to you is to drink a lot of water when you have you period. It helps with the bloating, and also can ease bowel discomfort. And, make sure that you have a healthy diet that includes lots of good fiber-- like whole grains and fruits and vegetables. That will also help ease discomfort.
If it is severe, and you are having pain, make sure you talk with your doctor about it.
Hope this helps!
Your hormones are changing, that's what causes the flow. Drink more water starting the first day of flow. You might find eating oatmeal or apples help, too.
