Hyperthyroid to Hypo-Thyroid, page 1

I'm about 10 years removed from the radiation treatment on my thyroid. My Dr. recommended the oblation over medication to slow down the hyper-thyroid. Looking back I probably should have tried the medication before the thyroid destruction but that is neither here nor there.

It will take at least a year for the Dr. to get your medication at the right dosage. I had to be put at way above the regular dosage 225mcg per day of Synthroid.

You will be extremely tired at first as they get the thyroid hormone levels down to nothing. My Dr. assured me that I wouldn't gain weight, but with the same eating habits I have gained approximately 60 pounds. The only other negative effects I have found are in my eyes. The drooping, bulging and darkening around the exterior have not corrected themselves with the medication.

Last note of advice. Never-ever stop taking your medication. I slowed mine down for a bit because I was experiencing heart palpitations (unrelated) and ended up in the emergency room.

As an added bonus, from what I've read you will be less susceptible to radiation poisoning as there will be no place for the radiation to gather.

Good luck

I can relate to the brain fog. Those all sound like thyroid symptoms, but I would get blood work done. Its a pretty simple test and then you'll know.

Is the armour thyroid medication really that much better? I would kill or die for something to make me feel normal again.

Lower your carbohydrate intake and you won't have to worry about Iodine.

www.sciencedirect.com...

An increased iodine requirement as a result of significant changes in human nutrition rather than a decreased environmental iodine supply is suggested to represent the main cause of the iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). The pathomechanism proposed is based on the fact that serum concentrations of thyroid hormones, especially of trijodothyronine (T3), are dependent on the amount of dietary carbohydrate. High-carbohydrate diets are associated with significantly higher serum T3 concentrations, compared with very low-carbohydrate diets. While our Paleolithic ancestors subsisted on a very low carbohydrate/high protein diet, the agricultural revolution about 10,000 years ago brought about a significant increase in dietary carbohydrate. These nutritional changes have increased T3 levels significantly. Higher T3 levels are associated with an enhanced T3 production and an increased iodine requirement. The higher iodine requirement exceeds the availability of iodine from environmental sources in many regions of the world, resulting in the development of IDD.

Armour Thyroid is over 90 years old and is all natural. It is worth a try if your current medication isn't working. Many Doctors don't like to prescribe it because it isn't made by a Big Pharma company that will give them perks if the write scripts for it. Synthetics did not work for me. Do some research, talk to your doctor.....and best of luck.
