What is Wilsons Thyroid Syndrome?
Classically, people with Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome get symptoms that tend to: • Come on or worsen under periods of severe physical or emotional stress. • Persist even after the stress has passed. • Can get worse in stages with each subsequent stress. In addition, there are people who seem much more prone to developing WTS. Their symptoms tend to: • Come on earlier in life. So early that some patients may not even know what it feels like to be normal. • Worsen more gradually over time. Those who seem most prone to developing Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome are those whose ancestors survived famine, such as Irish, Scot, Welsh, American Indian, Russian, etc.. Most susceptible of all seem to be those who are part Irish, and part American Indian. But under severe circumstances people of any nationality can develop Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome. About 80% of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome sufferers are women. For a list of symptoms, please see sidebar to the right.
