Hi PeriWink,
Have a lump at the right gland. At the moment Doc say not required for any procedure. So still in monitor.
Yes, I am on permanent medication. Its not common for Male having thyroid disorder. Your hubby’s case is genetic?
I can fully understand what your hubby is going thru with hypothyroid. When thyroxin insufficient, the body just can’t function probably. Energy drained out, the palpitations, trembling hands, muscle cramps, mood swings, tiredness, the list goes on…Yes, you just simply feel like popping your head down and sleep. its actually very suffering not being able to have enough energy to sustain a day’s work.
The risk is always there when its over or under corrected - for a hypo to become hyper or vice versa as its all the hormones that’s working at it. When I was pregnant, I had to double, or triple the dose during the conceiving months. I had to visit the doc monthly (instead of 2 times a yr) as there’s fear of over or under dosing. Over the years, I realised besides the oral medication, the true medicine is our mood. Need to stay relax, happy and positive. I hope the doctor is able to find the most ideal solution for your hubby. May his condition improve, may him be well and happy.

RE: Thyroid disorder
Hi Peirce,
I have PMed you the doc’s name.
Yes, I still need to take blood test whenever I visit him. The blood test reveals if the levels are healthy. It now becomes a routine check twice in a year since condition more or less stabilised unless I pregnant again. For woman, especially if we are in the conceiving stage, its especially critical to inform our endocrine doc also immediately. It affects greatly the little one who is developing inside us. I still rem a Gynae who laughed at me for being so kiasu when I wanted to confirm my 2nd pregnancy. Though i was only ~5weeks, I just remembered my doctor’s golden advice.
It can be genetic from what I know. According to my parents, they don’t have although my mum suspected she has. She only recall TCM suspects she has but when she did her blood test, doc didn’t say so. -
RE: Thyroid disorder
I have been on medication for nearly 20 years, and its for life long. I dun think there’s any side effects so far. Only that if I don’t consume regularly as prescribed, my body will start to show some of the symptoms again.

RE: Thyroid disorder
Hi Peirce,
unfortunately, there’s no other way but blood test to really determine if she’s even having thyroid disorder. I’m curious, if no blood test done, doc didn’t confirm, then how did it arrive to this conclusion that its thyroid disorder? Doc suggested?
I have always been very healthy and actively in sports when suddenly I started falling sick very frequently and getting breathless easily. I tend to feel cold easily when ppl ard me are feeling hot. Feel tired very easily and my menses comes twice a month some times. Literally, my body seems very not right. So did a blood test at polyclinic and that’s how I discovered I have thyroid disorder. Luckily I was still in time…my blood test result was showing really underactive gland which probably explains why I was experiencing all the symptoms. Can be very damaging to health especially when I was in my growing years. -
RE: Thyroid disorder
Hi,
I have thyroid disorder and was diagnosed when I was in sec sch too. There are generally 2 types of it - hypothyroid and hyperthyroid. Pls encourage her to go for a test as only then she'll be able to know exactly which type she is and get the right medication and advice. Since mentioned she has seen doc, did the doc mention which type she is? Ever asked TCM in my case (hypothyroid) but its not helpful.
I was lost too when I was initially diagnosed but over the years I accepted it. Today I am a mother of 2 kids. Pls help me tell your friend dd don't despair, be hopeful. Everything will be well again. -
RE: Private Life coaches for children?
Jennifer:
:hugs:
Jennifer, my DD has similar problem -- (1) no time mgt & (2) always complaining, blaming others & denying it's her fault. I am also thinking of seeking councillor or profesional life coach for assistance. Many times, I hold myself responsible for not coaching her the correct way. :oops:yeomaylin:
[quote=\"Jennifer\"]
I always find him very self centred. It is straining our relationships. His poor time mgt
Similar incidents hv surfaced in the past. All boils down to his forgetfulness n poor time mgt.
When I tried to talk to him about this, he would apologise but these incidents would re-surface again and again.
I tried to treat him like a mini adult, giving him choices and the rights to make decisions. However he disappoints me again and again.
Her poor time mgt is due to her forgetfulness and SLOWNESS. I reject to rush out at night for her or to sch shd she forget anything. She has to be responsible for her own action. Does she learn her lesson after each reprimanding/warning fr teacher or me? Not much. :sad:
She is VERY slow in her hw. Her tutors, sch teachers and even classmates are commenting that she is very slow in writing. An est. 2-hr hw will take her abt 3-4 hrs to finish. :frustrated: There's no time for revision at all. I have no choice but to push back her sleeping time when it is near to exam period. (but surprisingly, she can manage to finish her exam papers in the nick of time - but of course, no time for checking).
She always blaming too. Blame teachers for being strict, giving too much hw. When I push/teach her how to write fast, she blames me for stressing her out. When she is slow, she blames the pen, :faint: ANYTHING... ANYBODY but herself.
I've tried all soft & hard approaches, rewards sys, penalty, time table etc. but none works. She always promises to change but these incidents will re-surface again.

I feel like you are describing my boy
This week Tues is not Science supplementary lesson, so we did not hv another rush out to buy whatever incident. Next Monday, I will hv to remember to ask him what he needs.
I am becoming paranoid- always asking him whether he needs to buy sth whenever we are at a mall.
The recent Monday, he was a very good boy- finished up all school work due or not due the next day, did the Lead.com assignment w/o surfing to his Aircraft Investigation youtube, did not throw any tantrum.
And he came to tell me this: you will be very happy if I behave like this everyday, right?
To which I reply: of course lah, which mother wont be happy? You go find me one.
He laughed so heartily at my reply.
Somehow I feel that he knows in his heart what he should be doing, but somehow he cant behave in the right way all the time. Tues was a down day, partially becos the weather has been raining in the afternoon when he wanted to go out to play.
Ytd was ok until 9.10pm. We had a small argument and he went to sleep shortly.
This morning, he told me that he suspects sb is stealing his pens/pencils in school. I did a simple acknowledgement as I know he is not going to admit that he misplaced the stationery and I also know there is a possibility of theft in school as this has happened many times in the past.
I recently made an arrangement to see a professional who suggested to me that my boy might be suffering from a xx condition based on my email to her describing my boy's behaviour. Our appointment is next Monday. We shall see how it goes from there.[/quote]
===> Jennifer/yeomaylin,

===> Jennifer,

:thankyou: -
