Q: tg=(thyroglobulin) had tg panel 16.0 results, a tg antibody <0.9, a tg by lc-ms/ms, s/p (n/a) ! result not dispersed in flowsheet. what does this mean?

While the: Normal range varies from lab to lab, your results are all normal. Why were they drawn in the first place. There are not as important as more conventional thyroid lab such as free T4 and tsh. Check w/your doctor.

: This method is used for detecting thyroglobulin in patient with thyroid cancer after thyroidectomy in the presence of anti- thyroglobulin antibodies. Your result was reportedly because it is supposed to be very low or undetectable in patient with thyroidectomy. In another word, your level of 12.5 is normal for a patient with intact thyroid.

Q: how would i know if i was at risk for getting ms or gbs i'm 37 ? n

Hard to answer: There is no good way to estimate the risk you you developing these illnesses. Try to not worry about something you do not have!

Q: does diet affect ms?

Unlikely: I am not aware of a link of diet to causation of ms, but many people with MS tend to be constipated, which can be aggravated by dietary factors.

Q: what can i do with ms ?

A FEW CAVEATS: Recognize that this is a treatable and controllable condition in most pts, and that initiation of treatment asap is the cornerstone of success. Vitamin d supplementation is very crucial, and low fat, low salt diets, with aerobic exercise also make difference. You need to be followed by a neurologist with extensive experience in ms.

Q: at what age can you get ms?

Varies: Typical average age of onset about 29-30 yrs, but children can develop at a quite young age. And have made diagnosis rarely in older pts, in late 50's and early 60's.

Q: can you get disability for ms?

Depends: Multiple sclerosis can cause chronic neurological symptoms and impair ability to work. I recommend you discuss this with your treating physician.

Q: what is a good medication for ms?

SEVERAL CHOICES: If you have relapsing-remitting form, many meds are available. Many ms specialists are now recommending using the most potent drugs available, especially in first few years. Tysabri, (natalizumab) followed by gilenya, and possibly bg-12 (not yet available) might be good items. Copaxone if a young women who wants kids, but not very potent. Vitamin d-3 supplements are crucial in some. See ms specialist.

Q: does ms always progress the same way?

No: Ms disability progresses at a variable pace, influenced in part by age at symptoms onset, use of disease modifying therapy, effective use of rehabilitation strategies to optimize function. Genetic background also likely plays a key role in the aggressiveness of this disease. Cognitive reserve or "plasticity" of the CNS helps compensate for advancing disease longer.

Q: need help to manage symptoms from ms ?

Post a question: For doctors, MS usually means multiple sclerosis, a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, resulting in loss of muscle control, vision, balance, and sensation (results in numbness or paresthesia). With multiple sclerosis, the nerves of the brain and spinal cord are damaged by one's own immune system, so MS is called an autoimmune disease.
