Alternative treatment for hypothyroidism?!
Question:
Alternative treatment for hypothyroidism?
A few years ago I was diagnosed with mild hypothyroidism and given the choice of taking medicine or not. I decided not to because I didn't want to start taking something that would hook me for life, but my sypmtoms seem to be getting worse. I have a low body temperature and am constantly tired. Cutting sugar out of my diet has helped a lot but I'm wondering if there are some herbs or vitamins that I should take. Eventually I'll go to the endocronologist, but until then, what causes thyroid problems and what can I do to treat them myself in the meantime?
Answers:
NO! You can't treat it yourself, You need to get to the doctor right away, so they can test your blood and see how many micrograms is best for you!
Mam, your thyroid is going to be non-functional very soon, please don't wait!
I have to take synthroid everyday, I almost died! I'll have to take it the rest of my life, because my thyroid gland is dead and will never work again, what it does you see, is it stimulates the pituitary gland which controls all your organs, and it's very important, TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone, it comes from the pituitary gland and goes to the thyroid gland, and when it get's up in the hundreds it's getting bad, TH - is Thyroid hormone, and it sends the message back to the pituitary gland.
What happens, is your body functions will totally shut down, and that's dangerous!
Go to the doctor NOW! and have a blood test, and get on the sythroid, and you'll start feeling better in about ten days, and in about eight weeks you will be un-stoppable, and you will feel much, much better!
Please! GO NOW!
