Re: Re: An update long overdue for me...

[Guest guest]

,

I'm puzzled by your TSH results. You say you're hyper but they show

extremely hypo! Most hyper people have results like <.01 on TSH, and maybe

range into low normal as we improve. Are you sure you're quoting the right

test? Maybe you meant FT4?

I'd be curious to see what the shots you got do for your goiter. Please let

us know.

I'm confused. A TSH that high would be very HYPO. Not hyper.

bout of hyperness...)

Re: An update long overdue for me...

Hi:

My labs results from 12/2/02 showed my TSH levels at 4.7 (normal range is

0.5 to 1.7, I believe). Previously at several months ago it was 4.5 and the

month before that one was 5.0. Clearly I showed to be quite hyper. It was

decided by my ND and myself that I would go ahead today and take a shot of

Pleo Mueck (sp.?) on each side of my neck at the thyroid to ease the hyper

symptoms I've been experiencing. Pleo Mueck is a homeopathic remedy used to

ease inflammation anywhere in the body. I tried researching it online last

week and didn't find much info on Pleo Mueck in used for hyperthyroidism.

I am to continue taking my Potassium Iodide drops, Bugleweed, and L Tyrosine

powder form until my hyper symptoms have subsided and then I will gradually

lower my doses on these supplements until I no longer need to take it.

My ND sounded optimistic that this will work for me. He's had several

patients 5+ patients?) who were hyperthyroid whom he used the shots of Pleo

Mueck to ease their hyper symptoms. Only for one man it did not work. I

don't what he did next for the patient to help ease his hyperthyroidism, I

didn't want to go out of my way to be nosy by asking so many questions.

However, as a patient, I guess I do have the right to know how alternative

therapies do work or don't work for patients before I go ahead and try

something that might not work for me or it will work for me without any

problems.

I had put off the shots at my neck area for such a long time (6 months at

least) because I was squeamish about the pain of the shots. However, my ND

used a numbing agent mixed with the Pleo Mueck so I hardly felt the shots at

my neck. I am so glad that it wasn't such a big deal after all. :-)
