Hypothyroidism

[Guest guest]

Hi

Just wondering if people are successful in treating hypothyroidism. I

have 2 new patients, one who has been on thyroxine for 2 years and is on

maximum dosage, and the other just started on low dose of 50. The

latter has been told by her GP to increase the dosage to 75 and she has

resisted but is still feeling tired and unable to concentrate - she does

not present as the average hypothyroid person - she is small, very

slight, very athletic, no constipation, slightly exophthalmous really,

always on the go - doesn't eat well and is always rushing around with

her job (special needs teacher) and children who go to 2 different

schools in different directions and attend different after school and

evening activities. She has actually said that she would not want her

life to be any different. I feel there is a lot of adrenal stress here

and have put plenty of adrenal support in the mix - not sure exactly

what as don't have notes with me.

It's funny how patients tend to present with similar conditions at the

same time - just had an enquiry from someone has been diagnosed

hyperthyroid.

Would be glad of any comments.
