Natural dessicated thyroid....

[Guest guest]

Hi Group,

I am a new member and am looking into trying the natural dessicated thyroid.

I was diagnosed with 'Graves' disease about 20 years ago. My TSH blood tests

showed I was hypothyroid but I also had hyperthyroid symptoms (bulging eyes and

wizzy fast symptoms). I was put on Thyroxine (Levothyroxine) which was

gradually increased over the years but didn't make any difference to my

symptoms, and the more I took the more my TSH rose and the more I seemed to

need.

For the last 7 years my homeopath has also been supporting my thyroid. She

suggested I took the minimum dose of Levothyroxine 25mcg daily and in addition

she would support my pituitary and adrenals. My GP was horrified but yet amazed

when my TSH dropped from 12.6 to 5 and still moaned it was too high.

My TSH always rises in the winter and the only symptoms i have are tiredness,

some dry skin, always hungry and a bit over weight and i am wondering if the

natural dessicated thyroid would be better for me?

The only blood test I have had is the TSH.

I welcome any thoughts and ideas and apologies if this is too long.

Best wishes

Liz
