Posted on Tue, 25 Aug 2015
Question: Hi, am experiencing very bad thyroid problems, when I was tested for my thyroid, I had an 8.4 and for the antibody thyroid test she had a 330 on a scale of 0-9. My eyebrows and eyelashes are falling out,etc. Otherwise healthy and active but has been living in a house with bad mold the last 6 years. Could there be a link between the thyroid and the mold and how can I prove that link?

Brief Answer:
HSHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS

Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
You seems to have auto immune hypothyroidism ( hashimoto's thyroiditis). Mold has no drect relation to this. However, any infection can trigger an attack of auto imnune hypothyroidism. There is no direct way in which we can prove mold is "the" cause of your thyroid illness.
In auto immune thyroiditis, body mount an attack on thyroid gland and try to destroy the gland. This process can go on for many years. The end result is an underactive thyroid ( hypothyroidism) . But not to worry. This is an easy disease to treat.
