[quote="LeKiwi"]Well, I'm highly intolerant of cold, have dry skin (potentially from changing my cleanser...) and get tired. But then, I also have family history of thyroid problems. As in, pretty much everyone has them. So I'm probably heading down that road myself, so aren't much use. :P[/quote]

If you have a celiac thing going on, it can cause diarrhea, gas, and poor absorption of food (including grease intolerance). It can also stimulate the immune system to attack other parts of the body, including joints and the thyroid. My wife has autoimmune thyroiditis, and her symptoms pretty much disappeared when she eliminated wheat from her diet. After eliminating wheat, she started eating more and yet lost weight, and the cold (including coldness in her eyeballs) got warmer, the fatigue resolved, and those weird headaches with the pressure on top of the head also went away. <br /> <br />Course, it could be something else.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>fbug</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 3:36 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Hey you all, I must add that anyone who suffers from hypothyroidism definitely needs to check out <br /><a href="http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="postlink" >www.stopthethyroidmadness.com</a>.

In the mean time, I'd like to know if any of these symptoms are associated with AS just to see if there's a link. (Note: not all are thyroid symptoms). <br /> <br />Exhaustion: It doesn't matter how long I sleep, I'm always tired. I have to take a nap almost every day and can't even sit through a class or a church service anymore. I occasionally will zone out at work. I can still sit through baseball games without a problem but perhaps that's because of the excitement? I can also swim for two hours--but only after a good rest. However, when I come home I'm usually pretty dead. In particular I feel like there's no power going to me anywhere, especially my upper legs, when I'm in bed. Therefore, I feel as if I cannot move. My energy levels have been on the decline for 11 years but have fallen off considerably in the past two years. <br /> <br />Intolerance of Cold: I drove for 15 minutes in a car with no A/C, no windows down, an outside temperature of 85 degrees, and was comfortable wearing a thick wool sweater. I freeze almost anywhere I go even if I'm wearing a sweater. At home I usually have a down comforter over most of my body. I run my space heater in all four seasons and turn on a second space heater in the winter. Humidity phases me a little bit but not hot temperatures--I'm not comfortable unless my surroundings are at least 80 degrees. Is this a big concern, aside from the fact I can't even go out to eat much anymore due to this? I've always been a bit intolerant of cold temperatures but have gotten worse in the last eight months or so. (BTW: My teeth do not have this problem--they have actually become less sensitive over the years). <br /> <br />Intolerance of Greasy Foods: Any time I eat something greasy, heavily fried, etc. I get all the symptoms of stomach flu. I almost had to be taken to the ER after eating bacon last month. I cannot eat bacon, pizza, etc. anymore. This just started early this year. <br /> <br />Odd Skin Problem: It looks dry as a bone but is oily. <br /> <br />Gas: I've had more gas pains and problems than usual, although less since I cut out all fatty foods from my diet. There's been more constipation than ever in my life over the past year though. On a related note I've also been having some urine dribble problems for the past eight years. <br /> <br />Ankle Pain: I think something happened to my ligaments because of badly fitting shoes. It's been chronic in my right ankle (and to a lesser extent in my left) for nine years. My previous doctor said not to do anything about it. <br /> <br />Arthritic Thumb: Is it common to get arthritis in a joint in your 20s? I now type with nine fingers as a result.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
