It will be about Viney, See this thread:

 

Oops!  My Bad...not Viney.

It is a thyroid problem with Salem and he may be out for quite a while.  Could be quite serious.  Helps explain why he has had a flat start to the year.  Wish him well and a speedy recovery.

"Health Concerns" has a serious feel to it.

 

Hoping its "Injury Concerns"

 

[dazzledavey36 55,990]

Christian Salem Thyroid has re appeared and hopefully its only minor as they picked it up early but it could also potentially be quite seriouse. Could miss 4 weeks or 3 to 6 months.

Would explain why he has looked flat this year.

[Emerald 1,744]

Someone who tackled Mathieson contracted head lice from him?

[olisik 4,060]

Sounds like season 

[Buzzy 992]

What does thyroid problem even mean...  Is Salem going to become obese?  Too lazy to google.

Salem thyroid issue has returned

Can someone please explain to a layman like myself what this is exactly?

[Lucifers Hero 40,563]

Feel for Salem.  Had a great first year.  2nd year ruined by major hamstring injuries. 3rd year stalled by injury and illness.  At least we know he is in good hands and our club will give him all the attention and treatment the illness requires.

[chook fowler 19,734]

He has an over active thyroid probably of autoimmune origin causing a fast metabolism resulting in weight loss, a fast irregular pulse, intolerance of heat, diarrhoea and bulging eyes. Can be debilitating but is treatable with drugs to slow the thyroid down, surgery to remove part of the thyroid or radioactive iodine to kill the overactive gland.

tweet from tom brown. No wonder he probably found it hard to run out games or get involved. Probably had no energy. Geez poor guy. 

By the way how come we are finding this out from a journo and not the club?

[Lord Travis 10,800]

Feel for him. May explain why has he seemed a bit flat if his body was having issues like that internally. My understanding is it controls your metabolism and hormones and can greatly effect your energy levels and heart rate. Hopefully he can take an extended break to recover from it as his health is the most important thing.

[monoccular 17,697]

As I recall he had something related to his thyroid when he first appeared at the club, though I never heard the detail.

An under active thyroid could certainly explain his 'sluggishness', relatively speaking, and one would feel that it would be eminently treatable in most cases, though it may take some time to get 100%. 

All the best, Christian........looking forward to a hail and hearty return.

Must be Dr Chook? 

[whatwhat say what 23,631]

That sounds like an awful thing to have.

 

Hopefully he recovers with no ongoing effect.

 

It does seem sometimes like we just find new and exciting ways of not having players play for us.

Professor Chook to you!

[Demons rising 52]

Under active thyroid <hypothyroidism >much easier .Replacement thyroid hormone is available and dose needs to be adjusted according to blood testing .

overactive thyroid <hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis > as stated above has several treatment options .

medication of which several types not always effective.

radioactive iodine next option normally effective but usually only used for medication failure 

surgery if neither of above effective

I always thought a thyroid problem was something fat people made up.

No the Earl of Hood to you and you already have one foot in the grave Professor so I would show a bit more respect, but we digress.

The main issue is Salem and I take it that such a problem would explain his indifferent, but not hopeless form? It seems he can train and play but he has not improved as we all expected; so he can perform but lacks energy?

It certainly would effect his endurance and he probably would be losing muscle mass. All credit to him for performing as well as he did all things considered

[Mach5 4,768]

Out & out my favourite player.

Get well Salo.

[Deeoldfart 8,165]

Probably explains his listless (for him) form.  Recover completely and quickly Salo.  When you've done that, you are free to take the comp by storm.

[DeeSpencer 26,482]

Bad news, yet kind of good news as it explains his form a bit if that makes any sense. 

Hopefully it's the short term. If they can fix it quickly at least he'll have enough of a fitness base to bounce back for this season.
