Hi- My cholesterol total was 323...I went on a strict diet for 6 weeks. Now my total cholesterol is 281. I am being treated for hypothyroid and am very sensitive to medication ( a liitle goes a long way). Am taking 25 mg of synthroid. My TSH bounces around between 2.0-2.7. I have noticed that when my cholesterol is up, my TSH goes up, and vise versa. I also have started leaking urine from my bladder, and have just been diagnosed with a kidney stone. Are these changes in health related? Hormonal? ...or am I just getting old (64 years old, female). I am also taking natural hormones sublingually (bi-est, and 95 mg progesterone. Thanks for the input.
Hi, There is practically no connection likely between your kidney issue and your previous Thyroid problem. Urinary incontinence is not uncommon at your age, and if it is a question of mild urge incontinence, lifestyle changes could help, such as avoiding caffeinated beverages, regular toilet habits, but if the problem gets worse, you could benefit from use of medication such as tolterodine which reduces urine leak. Your kidney stone may need treatment if it is larger than 8 mm, or if it is causing pain or if you develop fever with kidney obstruction.
