Bouncing from Low to High

I pulled out my "thyroid for dummies" book to look up interactions. Here's what they list:

lithium (eskalith, lithium carbonate, lithobid)
ethionamide (Trecator-sc), fluorine (like in our city water!), aminoglutethimide, ketoconazole (Nizoral), para-aminosalicylic acid (Paser granules), sulfonamide drugs (sulfadiazine, sulfasoxazole,acetazoleamide) (bactrim, septra), certain sulfonylureas (tolbutamide, chlorpropamide), thionamide drugs (including propylthiouricil, methimazole,carbimazole)
isoflavins (found in soybeans)
thiocyanate (found in brussel sprouts,cauliflower, cabbage, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, rutabaga, and turnips. If cattle eats this and you drink their milk it can affect you too.)
estrogens, clofibrate, Perphe****ne (prochlorperazine, trifluoperazine, chlorpromazine, estrafon, trifon), anabolic steriods, androgens
Glucocorticoids (Celestone, decadron, depo-medrol, hydrocortone, solu-medrol powder)
Nicotinic acid, heroin and methadone, amiodarone
aluminum hydroxide(amphogel, maalox, mylanta, alu-cap)
carbamazepine, diphenylhydantoin, cholestyramine, colestipol, ferrous sulfate (iron)
phenobarbital, rifampin (rifadin, Rifater), sucralfate (carafate)
aspirin (8-10 per day)(Darvon, Ecotrin, Excedrin, Fiorinal halprin, norgesic, percodan, robaxisal, soma,fiortal, gelpirin, propoxyphene, roxiprin)
bromergocryptine (parlodel, bromocryptine Mesylate)
clofibrate, dopamine, octreotide, opiates
pamidronate (aredia), phentolamine, pyridoxine (B6), avandia, actos, glyset, prandin, starlix
furosemide (lasix, furosemide)
adderall
reglan, metoclopramide, tagamet, cimetidine, zantac, ranitidine, nexium
haldol

these can cause false positives:
salicylates, diphenylhydantoin, carbamazepine, furosemide, heparin, orphenadrine

These can cause hyperthyroidism:
amphetamine, cimetidine, ranitidine, clomiphene, l-dopa inhibitors, metoclopramide, domperidone,iodine, lithium

Foods to avoid:
soybeans, broccoli, cauliflower (Brassica Group of veggies), bamboo shoots, sweet potatoes, corn, lima beans. Also brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, rutabaga, and turnips.

Google Hashimotos. That's what I have and my thyroid readings are never consistant. Quite difficult. I'm in the middle of giving herbal suppliments as a replacement. I've tried different thyroid medicines and have had a heck of a time.

Have you been checked for sleep apnea? Many people with thyroid issues suffer from sleep apnea, too.
I was exhausted all the time. I was told I stopped breathing every two minutes during my sleep. The doctor told me this was equivalent to me waking up every two minutes and running up two flights of stairs.
Do you snore? Do you have a thick neck? Do you wake up a lot during the night? Do you fall asleep very easy when you get still and quiet.

How does your crohns do with your thyriod issues? For me there is some correlation.
