Watching and reading

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to thank everyone for your posts. I have been watching

and reading and trying to make sense of all this as I start my own

journey with HypoThyroidism.

The most helpful info to me so far has been diagnosing by symptoms

and not just readings. Gave me more courage for getting back to the

doc and asking for some assistance based on symptoms. I am fortunate

to have a reasonable doc who actually suggested to me that I had a

thyroid problem to start with. After initially pushing back while

doing research and feeling worse along the way, she re-tested and has

given me Armour prescription without a lecture! Like many others

here, my test results are wacky but the symptoms are similar.

I can't wait to start the meds today. I expect my next post will be

about how to lose the weight that has been coming on so strong. I

figure the med will help me feel better, not sure it will reverse the

damage I did while mulling over my options.

If you have any advice about how to undo the damage to my weight and

hair I will gladly receive it!

Thanks for all the good information I have already received.

1)be sure to get enough Armour to treat your symptoms. (TSH will be very

low, mine is .3) you can chew Armour.

2) IMO iodine/iodide is the missing link
