Your Right To Health - Back To Health

Author : Damian Higgens


         


Your symptoms seem minor, and because no one wants to be thought of as (or think of themselves as) a hypochondriac, you just write them off. After all, the fatigue is probably a result of how busy it is at work these days, right? So naturally you feel tired. , And maybe your concentration, or is it your memory, that doesn’t seem as sharp, ? Are you the only one in the room wearing a sweater many times? After all, when you take your temperature, you find that you actually have a low body temperature—in fact, it’s lower than you remember it used to be time, so you clearly aren’t ill, right?

Well, maybe, or maybe not. The “normal” human body temperature, while generally in the 98.6 range, fluctuates as much as a degree or a bit more during the day, and this is perfectly natural. But consistently low temperature could point to a greater issue. There are a number of possible low body temperature causes, including the very obvious (prolonged exposure to the cold) and the less immediately obvious (certain prescription medications or excessive alcohol consumption). Once these are ruled out, however, there is room for concern if your body temperature has become consistently lower than it used to be, and you realize that you are also experiencing a number of additional physical and/or emotional changes. You could be dealing with Wilsons Syndrome, a form of what is sometimes termed “hidden hypothyroidism” ( a condition characterized by symptoms of low thyroid but laboratory tests that say your thyroid system is fine).

In many ways, Wilsons Syndrome sufferers—and those doctors who work to treat them—face obstacles similar to those encountered in relation to chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Both of these misunderstood and misdiagnosed ailments share three common factors: varying and complex symptom patterns; a lack of widely accepted diagnostic criteria and procedures; and a lack of established treatment protocols. In fact, oddly enough, there are some researchers and some practitioners who feel that these conditions are also manifestations of unrecognized low thyroid. Although there are doctors who recognize the existence of Wilsons, their number at this point is limited. This makes getting medical help and information challenging, though there are useful websites that provide lists of symptoms, explanations of the condition and resources.

What does all of this mean for you and your health? If you have a chronically low body temperature and other symtoms that don’t seem “normal” to you , it’s your right to be proactive in researchingnew conditions that your doctor may not know about. . After all, it is your body, your health and your own quality of life that are at stake
