Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Have you been to see a natural medicine provider? Either a MD trained in natural medicine or a DO or ND is better than who you are seeing now, It is clear that your provider is an idiot. You can have sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Most allopathic providers don't really understand hypothyroidism. Here is a link: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com I was in your shoes and I finally had to treat myself until I found a MD who is trained in natural medicine. I take Armour thyroid and this med saved my life. Nancie ---- Doreen 10/30/2008 6:08:27 PM << >> Thyroid I have a lot indications that my thyroid is not working correctly.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't have an answer for you and am interested in hearing what others have to say. I have been having difficulties with my thyroid since having a goiter removed at 18 years of age and again at 40 years of age. I am now 55. During all this time I have never had abnormal results to any of my so called lab tests. I have all the symptoms you listed plus dry skin, lethargy, depression, and most recently mental fogginess. I take the synthetic form of the thyroid hormone, synthroid, with no relief. Looking for alternate forms of treatment to supplement or replace my present treatment. Incidentally, I now have another goiter and 'cold spot' and am refusing to have it removed. I take full responsibility for whatever may occur as a result of my decision. With each surgery the symptoms get worse and enough is enough. Integrity is not a 90% thing Not a 95% thing Either you have it Or you don't brejean **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel. Check out Today's Hot 5 Travel Deals!

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I was experiencing many of those same symptoms and my doctor ruled out a thyroid issue as well. Then my OB/GYN screened me for PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrom). He determined through sonograms and blood tests that PCOS was the issue and has started me on a treatment plan that includes a change in diet, regular sleep and exercise. He is also treating me for yeast. When I follow the treatment plan, I feel good, or even great. If I let the plan slide, I immediately start to feel unwell again.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Can you find a good naturopath in your area to look at your lab results and do new ones if necessary? - Doreen Wednesday, October 29, 2008 5:23 PM << >> Thyroid I have a lot indications that my thyroid is not working correctly.
