Sure, one day I might finally eat enough shrimp to die from iodine poisoning. But so what? Good. I stood against iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis and his sword struck truer, no shame in that, no nobler cause in the world.

After consideration, the doctor believes I am suffering thyrotoxicosis and do not have Parkinson's. So...yeah, I'm pretty psyched about that.

#Thyroid dysfunction may cause sudden death. However, thyroid hormones respond to #stress as well. A recent autopsy study found #SPINA-GD or Jostel's TSH index increased in all cases, highlighting the importance of type 2 #allostatic_load.

Factitious thyrotoxicosis (*thyrotoxicosis factitia*). Sciolism can be assumed if someone uses the term "hyperthyroidism" if thyrotoxicosis is caused by therapy with levothyroxine.

Interestingly, both subclinical #hypothyroidism and #thyrotoxicosis predict #MACE. The free thyroxine (FT4) concentration is more associated with the HR for cardiovascular events than thyrotropin (TSH) levels. Our observations yield an integrated model including psychosocial and somatic mechanisms.
An integrated model for the association between thyroid homeostasis and major cardiovascular events. In the dyshomeostatic type of thyrogenic arrhythmia elevated FT4 concentration, caused by primary thyrotoxicosis, increases the risk for severe arrhythmia as a major cause for cardiovascular mortality. The TSH concentration is reduced in this case, represented by the left, declining, branch of the U-shaped relation between TSH level and risk (A). In the allostatic type, mainly caused by type 2 allostatic load and genetic traits, the set point of thyroid homeostasis is raised, resulting in increased TSH and FT4 concentration and subsequently elevated risk for arrhythmia. This situation is mirrored in the right, rising, branch of the relation between TSH concentration and cardiovascular risk (B). In any case, elevated concentrations of T3, T4 and other T3-agonistic thyroid hormones increase the sensitivity to catecholamines and sympathetic signaling (via upregulated expression of beta1 and beta2 adrenoceptors), thereby contributing to reduced stress tolerance. SPINA-GT, “gain of thyroid,” i.e., thyroid’s secretory capacity.

This was also during a consult for thyrotoxicosis bc covic had eaten my thyroid after decades of my having no problem with it ever. I had dropped like 35-40 lbs in two months and I was STILL getting hassled by this doc for weighing too much (and having that blamed on my eating habits).

🧪 In #thyrotoxicosis, it is both essential and difficult to identify its pathogenesis (e.g. exogenous thyrotoxicosis, subacute thyroiditis or true hyperthyroidism). #SPINA_GD may be helpful to speed up the diagnostic work-up. This may be especially helpful in life-threatening thyroid storm.

🧪 With a cut-off value of about 28 nmol/s, total step-up #deiodinase activity (#SPINA_GD) may be used for differential diagnosis between exogenous (factitious) #thyrotoxicosis and true #hyperthyroidism.

Thyroid parameters and body mass index in subclinically or overtly hyperthyroid patients (TSH < 0.4 mIU/l) with toxic adenoma, Graves’ disease or LT4-treated carcinoma, stratified by their FT4 concentration (euthyroid vs hyperthyroid). The hormonal patterns differed between the treatment categories. FT4 concentrations were higher in the treated patients, deiodinase activity was markedly lower, but FT3 concentrations similar. Body mass index was also different between diagnostic categories despite “normal” FT4. Statistical comparison between etiological groups overall and in FT4-subgroups is based on Kruskal-Wallis test

I had it 3 times and the goddamn urgent care asshole who did the phone diagnosis (remember that era?) CONVINCED me not to take paxlovid bc I also take sertraline, so I got hyperthyroidism that turned into thyrotoxicosis. Dropped like 20 lbs in six weeks, shook like a leaf and was permanently PISSED

Figure 3 The course of Subacute Thyroiditis (SAT). Subacute Thyroiditis is a self-limited inflammatory disorder of the thyroid gland that often follows a viral infection. The damage and rupture of follicular cells, caused by the inflammatory process, results in the release of T3 and T4 in circulation, inducing thyrotoxicosis symptoms in the first weeks of disease. When extensive follicular destruction occurs, subacute thyroiditis can progress to hypothyroidism before returning to the euthyroid state.

After my patient today my coworker and I looked up bovine thyroid on this database we have at OSU and apparently a woman received a “bad batch” of bovine thyroid hormone and got something like 72,000 mcgs of t3 and 60,000 mcgs of t4 and developed severe thyrotoxicosis requiring plasmapheresis 🙃

There is no evidence to support B-bl for sinus tachycardia in thyroid storm

This practice has been wrongly extrapolated from the treatment of ambulatory patients with thyrotoxicosis

ALWAYS TREAT THE CAUSE OF SINUS TACH

Sinus tach is like a fire alarm. Beta-blocking it is silencing the alarm.
