  • Thyroid disease affects one in five women and one in ten men, yet 50 percent of people with thyroid disease go undiagnosed. The main role of thyroid hormone is to stimulate metabolism, and it affects almost every function of the body. That’s why thyroid imbalance can cause so many different symptoms.
    In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk all about three big hormone disruptors: thyroid, cortisol, and sex hormones.
    You can find the full episode on The Doctor’s Farmacy.

    Thank God I was 1st treated for hypothyroid by a caring woman Dr that took pity on me, a 35 yr old mother of 7. It saved me from all these nasty symptoms and gave me the healthy supplementation i desperately needed for my struggling gland. Its a real thing!! Its hellish!!

    These days you have to manage your own care. I noticed that quite a while ago. I had a brain tumor in 1998 that was removed and I kept having this awful head pain and the doctors never looked at my spine-yes the brain and spine are one unit called the central nervous system…needless to say no one checked me where all the tumors were. So yeah many neurologists told me I was fine and just had migraines with a history of brain tumors..
    Don’t trust medical field any longer. And then the doctor told me I didn’t have cancer yet handed me a paper and a packet that stated “cancer”.

    For many people, iodized table salt is their primary source of iodine (necessary for proper thyroid function). However many Dr's nowdays advocate a low salt diet, unsalted foods ( for high blood pressure, water weight, etc); thus many people inadvertently end up with low thyroid problems!

Go to well educated natural health food store. Terry naturally iodine. Selenium separately. Clean diet is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL. Pure organic extra virgin UNREFINED coconut oil to eat with and cook. There are probably some other herbs that you can take but start slow. Also. Use pure noni juice in glass bottle. One or two ounces in morning on empty stomach. Follow with tea if you want.. good luck.

    I've been having low-thyroid symptoms since the age of 20 or 21, and I'm now 41! My symptoms are: depression, fatigue, weight gain and inability to lose weight, changes in sex drive, changes in menstrual cycle, and I've had my T3, T4 and TSH all tested and they've come back normal. Trying to see if my new doctor will humor me and have me on a low dose of thyroid meds, see if that will help me start feeling better.
    I also found out that if you have an underactive thyroid, you're more likely to develop autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Crohn's disease. If someone has an autoimmune disease, they're more likely to develop an underactive thyroid. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis over a year and a half ago.
    It doesn't mean that you will absolutely develop them, you're just more likely to.

Thank god i went to a Nurse Practitioner in the ER and she caught it.

      Make sure you have both your T4 & T3 checked… your levels can show up as normal for T4 but you may not be converting enough T4 into T3, which will cause major fatigue, weight gain, etc… It causes an immediate effect to be felt and the half life of T3 is less than T4..

    I went to him thinking all I had was thyroid issue. Now he says I'm in stage 3 kidney failure. May have sleep apenia. Have rumatoid arthritis and wants me to see several doctors. I just got so frustrated I said forget it. I will take my thyroid meds but am tired of all the tests and no change in symptoms. They've done blood work 4v times in about 3 months. Had a kidney ultra sound, was scheduled with a hematologist but canceled. I have pretty much given up.😢
