Since the pandemic began, we have been surrounded by daily sensational and alarming updates on viruses\u2019 origin, features, symptoms, treatments, and so on. Articles get published and retrieved in a week, guidelines change so rapidly that now, in September, it is hard to recall what they actually recommend for COVID-19 treatment. On some point, you could have felt frustrated on what exactly getting a coronavirus infection may lead to, and whether you, as a thyroid patient, should take any extra measures to help yourself to go through the pandemic period.

However, if you feel constant anxiety, thoughts about the pandemic interfere with your daily routine, or you tend to imagine fatalistic scenarios \u2013 there is a need to address these feelings on your own or with the help of a professional.\u00a0<\/p><p>This is a general recommendation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789240003927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Health Organization<\/a> to all people across the globe but the patients with chronic thyroid conditions must take it more seriously. It goes without saying that being in the middle of a pandemic is stressful to everyone, however, people with chronic diseases such as hypo- or hyperthyroidism, Grave\u2019s diseases, goiter, thyroid cancer, and others may experience harder times with overcoming it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3246784\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scientists have found<\/a> that stress does not just act as a potential catalyst for some thyroid diseases (which isn\u2019t surprising as stress accelerates many other illnesses) but it also works backward \u2013 thyroid disorders make it harder to overcome stress. Besides, psychological symptoms may be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.btf-thyroid.org\/psychological-symptoms-and-thyroid-disorders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">side-effect of the treatment<\/a>. For example, steroids can aggravate depression or beta-blockers, which are often used to slow down your heart rate and to reduce anxiety, can make some people tired, depressed, and less alert. Prolonged stress becomes chronic, negatively influencing the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid and hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal axis. Thus, the people with thyroid conditions have a higher risk of getting caught in this endless \u201cmore stress \u2013 more hormonal disbalance\u201d circle.<\/p><p>That is why you have to be kind to your mind and develop an understanding that you tolerate stress differently from the others. We don\u2019t encourage you to use this fact as an excuse but maybe it makes sense to give yourself some extra self-care or approach a therapist a bit earlier than you would do it without a thyroid condition. Do not feel ashamed or scared \u2013 your feelings and emotions are a part of your personality and learning how to cope with them is nothing but a mature approach to life. Here are some general useful tips from CDC on how to approach stress:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/coping\/selfcare.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/coping\/selfcare.asp<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-245fd01 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"245fd01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tTip 2.

Even though they seem logical, it isn\u2019t exactly the truth. First of all, the range of chronic diseases is huge \u2013 from more well-known conditions like gastritis of goiter to rare genetic syndromes and malignancies. We can\u2019t summarize them into one group as their mechanism, location and presentation differ too much. Secondly, even though during the COVID-19 disease the virus circulates all over the body, there are always some more and less vulnerable organs to each particular infection. That\u2019s why one shouldn\u2019t unite all chronic health conditions into one group.<\/p><p>Great news \u2013 the CDC has created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/need-extra-precautions\/people-with-medical-conditions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a list<\/a> of certain underlying medical conditions that increase the risk for severe illness from COVID-19. It is kept up to date and you may find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/need-extra-precautions\/evidence-table.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the evidence<\/a> which stands behind each of the recommendations.<\/p><p>The group of thyroid diseases isn\u2019t listed there, yay! However, do not rush into conclusions \u2013 cancer, obesity, use of the corticosteroids and other risks may apply to some of you. British NHS has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/coronavirus-covid-19\/people-at-higher-risk\/whos-at-higher-risk-from-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">similar list<\/a> of moderate and high-risk groups of patients on their website. Their page has a great feature \u2013 it specifies the particular types of malignant diseases and cancer treatments which have been linked to higher chances of COVID-19 infection complication. We strongly recommend you to familiarize yourself with this data and define whether you are at the risk group or not. This may help you to control the situation and understand whether you need any additional safety measures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a95179 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"3a95179\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tTip 3.

The compensation means that the disease can\u2019t be completely cured but due to the treatment it does not progress and the patient feels relatively well.\u00a0<\/p><p>COVID-19 pandemic may have canceled many scheduled plans but this shouldn\u2019t apply to your medical appointments. Here\u2019s a quick questionnaire to see if there\u2019s anything you are missing at the moment:<\/p><ol><li>Are you feeling well? Do you experience any thyroid-related symptoms at the moment? All symptoms and signs of thyroid disease decompensation must be reported to the specialist to detect the reason behind them and prescribe a new treatment regimen which will make you feel better.<\/li><li>Is your blood work up-to-date? Are you periodically missing the medication which has been prescribed? It may be a good moment to consider using ThyForLife, as our app is designed to assist you in the organization of your medical data and to remind you about an upcoming check-up or medication.<\/li><li>Do you have any procedures such as fine-needle aspiration or thyroid surgery which were delayed because of the COVID-19 outbreak? Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thyroid.org\/covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">position of the American Thyroid Association<\/a> regarding the performance of these manipulations during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/li><li>Do you have any other medical conditions which aren\u2019t controlled by the physician? As mentioned above, some diseases make you more vulnerable to infections and are more likely to result in complications, especially when they are in an acute phase or poorly managed. Some of them, such as obesity, may be completely cured with the help of professionals.<\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87c3bc7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"87c3bc7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p>The best you can do for your safety during the coronavirus outbreak besides following general epidemiological measures is to take action and get the existing problems under control.

Additionally, doctors have suggested that thyroid replacement medicines like levothyroxine or T4\/T3 combination therapy work best when taken <strong>at the same time<\/strong> every day.\u00a0<\/p><p>Physicians believe levothyroxine should be taken on <strong>an empty stomach<\/strong>, preferably an <strong>hour before breakfast\/coffee<\/strong> or approximately <strong>three to four hours after dinner<\/strong>. This allows for more absorption.\u00a0<\/p><p>There are certain nutrients whose consumption can interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine.
