Thyroid Disease: Causes, Symptoms, Risk Factors, Testing

There are a number of causes for thyroid disease, including autoimmune diseases, radiation exposure, and iodine deficiency. Some risk factors include having a family history of thyroid disease, being female (thyroid disease is more common in women), and being over the age of 60. Symptoms can vary depending on the type of thyroid disease but may include weight gain or loss, fatigue, hair loss, constipation, and muscle weakness.

Angrod and Aegnor Headcanons

↳ for @arafinwean-week Day 3: Angrod and Aegnor

Angrod was intent on justice as a child, and as he grew older, he developed an affinity for debate.

He was given the epessë "Iron-handed" not only because of his strength of hands and his talent in sparring, but because he was known to rule with an iron fist and place justice above mercy. Aegnor tempered him, as did Edhellos.

Those who did not know them well thought that Aegnor was the angrier of the two, but his anger burned out quickly and he could be made to see reason even in the midst of his anger. Angrod was slower to rouse to anger, but fiercer and more terrible in his wrath, and his ire did not easily cool.

During their youth, it was often Aegnor who dragged Angrod away from fights with the sons of Fëanor, reminding him of the chastisement they would receive not only from their parents (Finarfin was loath to incur any new reason for discord with his brother's family), but from Finrod and Galadriel as well, who believed it was wisest to keep well away from Fëanor and his sons.

(But if Aegnor ever got into a fight with their cousins, Angrod would swiftly end it. This was when he began to be called "Iron-handed.")

Aegnor was a poet and writer in Aman, known for his verses on nature and his whimsical poetry about the lands that lay over the Sea, inspired his mother's cradle songs. It was said that he left the craft behind him after he travelled over the Ice. Andreth could rarely persuade him to share with her the verses he had written.

Angrod was one of very few who knew of Aegnor's relationship with Andreth and was in Aegnor's confidences well before Finrod ever learned of what had grown between Aegnor and Andreth.

After Aegnor left Andreth, it was said that a terrible anger began to build within him, fury against the Enemy who had long ago dealt to Men the injury of death, and he became single-minded in his purpose to deal out to Morgoth the same injury he had dealt to Men.

Aegnor grew wrathful with the complacency of the Noldor and how easily they placed their trust in the Siege. The greater part of his wrath was held for the sons of Fëanor and their disinclination to act, but he grew angry with Fingon for not heeding Fingolfin's counsel, and it was during the Siege of Angband that the friendship of their youth was at last ended.

It was said amongst the Eldar that after Aegnor's death it became common to name those inflamed with the lust of battle as "consumed with fell fire, like Aegnor of old" and to say that their eyes "gleamed with the same fell fire" that consumed Aegnor, lord of Dorthonion, at the hour of his death.

Could everyone please pray for my family? We’ve come down with a nasty cold, and my mom has developed Bronchitis. My youngest brother also has a fever, as well as the second youngest. The latter is the same brother recently diagnosed with Graves’ Disease, and this fever might lead to complications. He might need to go to the emergency room tonight. Also, my dad is going through a very intense few weeks at work, and combined with the sickness at home he is very stressed out.

Ya’ll wanna know a little fun fact about thyroid disease?

Well you’re in luck because I have two of them! Graves and Hashimotos!

So the little fun fact is… you can randomly become allergic or intolerant of random stuff. I am now allergic to bandaid glue, so if the doctors give me a bandaid instead of some cotton in that medical tape, I get a rash. And I get my blood drawn about once to twice a month due to having to see if my levels are gonna nuke me that month.

I am also now allergic to random things that I used to not have an issue with. My tongue itch’s when I eat mango, and my lip becomes a little numb when I eat star fruit. Keep in mind, they don’t tend to become dangerous, just kinda annoying and don’t really last long, maybe 20 minutes at most.

Oh, and I can’t eat a lot of gluten anymore because it hurts me. I do in fact ignore the pain because bread is life.

Wanna know more facts? Go ahead and ask because I’m too lazy to write everything in one post.

i have a problem

it is my professional opinion as an armchair diagnostician and piece of shit that whoever is running the Wendy Williams guardianship is intentionally not treating the Graves' Disease adequately if at all, and is blaming the symptoms on alcoholism as a tactic to keep her insane and incompetent. hyperthyroidism can tip you over into full insanity if you aren't super healthy to begin with and all her other symptoms are directly related to hyperthyroidism that would certainly be worsened by alcoholism but definitely not entirely caused by it. alcohol is a depressant and would be a pretty effective (if dangerous and unhealthy) self medication for the constant, panic-attack-like symptoms of untreated hyperthyroidism also. her team is keeping her sick at some level.

this woman shouldn't even have a thyroid at this point, she was diagnosed years and years ago and they're supposed to either remove it surgically or kill it with radioactive iodine, put the patient into HYPOthyroid state, and then supplement with thyroid hormone until the patient is normal again. she very very very obviously still has active hyperthyroidism. which is insane because it's extremely treatable. but everyone around her is idiot Hollywood people who think vodka is making her eyeballs swell out of her head. someone diagnosed the characteristic swelling and thickening on her feet as lymphedema. it's not! it's the graves disease! every symptom she has, besides being DRUNK, is the graves disease!

I've had hyperparathyroidism and it didn't just make me "irritable and anxious" it made me CRAZY crazy. a woman Wendy's age with a substance problem who's been allowed to go untreated for this long?????? of course she's into full blown dementia at this point. take the thyroid out and medicate her correctly she would probably immediately get back like 40% of the lost function

Did fun things today and it's exciting that I was able to do them! But unfortunately I think I rather overdid it.
