Recently diagnosed with hypo

[Guest guest]

Hi all,<br>My name is Barbara and I was diagnosed

with hypothyroidism about 6 weeks ago. I don't know

what to expect or what all that is wrong with me that

is hypo-related. Can yall tell me what to expect. I

am only seeing a general practioner at the moment.

Thanks so very much barbara

I need help from experienced people. I have always had low thyroid

but in the normal range. Finally after 10-15 years i have fallen out

of the normal range.

My chirop has tried me on several different items and I have racing

heart with each. They all contain iodine. I'm wondering if anyone

else has had this problem and what other options there are for me. I

don't really want to do they synthroid.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Debbie,

What exactly were you taking? I was on synthroid for over 20yrs and it

did nothing for me. I went on Armour thyroid April of last year. I see

an incredible difference. We are all different but this is what works

for me. Although even now, I probably need some adjustments to my

meds, I would not go back to synthroid.

Yes, T3 really does a number on me. Palpitations become very severe and so

intense, it's what I imagine a heart attack to be like!!!!! Armour has T3.

Synthroid works really well for me - there's no reason to fear it.

If the iodine patch you referenced below it the iodine skin absorption

test then it is completely bogus. Anyone who prescribes it it

hopelessly ignorant or a charlatan.
