Re: Brain Fog bigtime -- CFIDS + Hypothyroidism...anyone experience this?/Janice

[Guest guest]

Hi, Janice.

I've cured my CFIDS related hypothyroidism. I don't have a situation like yours

that does seem appropriate for biopsy, but your doc may not be aware of the

underlying deficit making even your thyroid med. ineffective and perhaps causing

more trouble than its worth at high doses.

Anyway, I cured my thyroid issue, previously diagnosed as Hashimoto's, by taking

two scoops of RenewPro daily to boost glutathione over nine months of time. I

was able to let go taking levoxyl, gradually reducing the dose over this period

based on tachycardia(heart racing) symptoms arising, demonstating my thyroid was

functioning properly again on

its own.

The increased glutathione caused the recusitation of thyroid function. Unless

glutathione increase helped this organ improve function as well, adrenal

function was not related.

Hi Janice, I too had the anxiety that you are experiencing when on

thyroid meds. And I tried about 3 different forms. For me, the

anxiety never improved until I stopped the thyroid meds. As a matter

of a fact, I had to take Ativan for the anxiety. And for 3 years

afterwards, I carried it in my purse because I never wanted to be

without it. I hated that anxiety more than pain.

I agree with and anyone else that suggested that you can treat

the thyroid without the thyroid meds.

Best,
