Dr. Hello,
soory for bothering again
now after i haev been under treatment for 1 month and half (tapazole 30mg/day), do you think i can stop the treatment, while taking into consideration that my TSH is still very low, but hormones are within Normal range. i want to stop the treatment as i have been told that the tapazole is an immunosuppressant and it may delay the HIV window period which i am anxious about. my big concern in HIV and not the thyroid neither my heart. how can the thyroid treatment or Tapazole affect my immue system in a way that no Antibodies shown for HIV after three months now. i know proabbly that i am repeating myself, but please give me re-assurances.
Thanks Doctor in Advance
Dr. TRAb came back positive and high which taht confirms that i have an autoimmune disorder. would you think that such would affect the window peirod of HIV, as i am planing to test for HIV after 11 weeeks from a possible exposure.
do you think my immu system is weak ?
thanks
thanks Dr. can you please just let me know if the grave deasese is curable to a certain extend?
thanks
The diagnosis of HIV status should not be effected by the thyroid problem or treatment of the thyroid -- HIV itself usually does not cause thyroid problems, certain HIV medications may cause thyroid problems though.
I would see these as two separate issues at this point. You do have hyperthyroidism and the TRab and uptake study will help determine the cause -- ie, thyroidtis vs graves vs hot nodule(s) - then the type of treatment can be determined.
sorry, but my T4 is higher that what mentioned above. i guess it is 2.97 instead. it is higher than normal, i just forgot.
