Thyroid - TSH High 6.6 / PeriUmbilical Hernia

[Guest guest]

I am facing a surgery for a hernia that we discovered on the 8th of

December. It is to the right and a little lower of my bellybutton. It

is a worker's comp issue as I work at UPS and the docs determined it

happened there as I felt a rip when I lifted a box in Feb. But it

really started to bother me in August and would reoccur. Well, the

doc said it was very rare for this to occur in a female. I'll be

talking to the surgeon next week.

 

At the same time my TSH is high. And so are my cholesterol levels

though they weren't before (1 year prior). I don't know about the TSH

- it was high 7 years ago. So the thyroid problem is a chronic

condition. I started the synthroid 4 weeks back but I can't stand it

and it makes me feel a little dizzy. I halved the dosage and that was

better. A chiro tested it on me with muscle testing and my muscle

went lax and he said it wasn't helping the thyroid nor the kelp I have

had for awhile. That is my perception as well.

 

I lived in W. Germany during the time Chernobyl happened and I can't

help but think it relates to radiation.

 

So I'm wondering where do I start - I have limited funds and cannot

buy a lot of supplements though herbs are cheap if I buy what I need

from the herb store or the bulk area of the health food store. I also

can't switch to an organic diet completely just yet until I make some

more money.

 

I am wondering if the Total Draw poultice would help?

I am going to start taking niacin as well but I hate the stuff.

I also think I'll start the deep tissue repair oil on my abdomen to

try to get rid of some of the pain.

I'm a single mom of three and I need to do something effective and

gradual that I can add into my daily routine.
