Yes. Take off your clothes and get into bed between two naked people who press themselves against you... No, wait -- that's hypothermia.\n\nUm... Nevermind!\n;-)

Please, please, please don't "look for an alternative to conventional meds," as you can't believe how many screwed up patients I've seen as a result of trying to fix a thyroid problem with unconventional means.  This can be really, really dangerous.  Talk with your doctor.

YES!!!!!\nI had an underactive thyroid for ten years and the blood test was always near the border for underactive thyroid so I was never treated for it since it was JUST inside the normal range.\nI finally had it slip into the abnormal range on the test and got on thyroid treatment. My depression of 15 years went away and my hair stopped falling out, my skin stopped being like sand paper, and lots of other problems went away.\nThat test they do, the TSH test, has the top level set too high so that people who should be on thyroid hormone replacemetn therapy are not treated when they sould be.\nYour friend should try to find a doctor who will give her a prescription for thyroid pills!!!!!\nShe sould get a copy of the results of the blood test and see for herself if the results show she is NEAR the border for under active thyroid. That is a very wide range on that TSH test and many feel it is TOO wide a range of normal. Many people show being in the normal range when actually they need to be on thyroid replacemetn therapy.\nThe doctor goes only by the TSH test hopefully.\nI could kill that doctor I went to who for years told me my thyroid was normal when I had such awful symptons and was near the cut off point of normal on the TSH test.\nI suffered needlessly for ten years or more.\n\nThere is an EXCELLENT site for your frined and it is on http://thyroid.about.com/ and it is the thyroid forum on there.\nShe can and should get her scores from her TSH test and post the results for the other people on that forum to see and they are experts on thyroid problems and will let her know what she should do. I can highly recommend that site! It helped me a lot with my underactive thyroid problem.

I've got some extra you can have!!!!!  Seriously though, I think you have to stock up on pasta, rice, potato type meals, eat plenty of it.  If you aren't vegetarian, eat plenty of meat especially chicken.  Have you seen a nutrisionalist?  Maybe discuss that with your GP, if it's a problem for you, then it is a problem worth sharing and trying to get help resolving.  Do you have any other health troubles, have you had your thyroid checked out? If it's overactive you could be burning it all off too quickly, look it up! (try and cut down the fags - they're not good for you!!! - I should take my own advice lol)  Good luck

Check out Clinics in your area that will treat you for free or a minimal fee.  You should not take thyroid treatments without diagnosis.  Unless you want to wake up with buggie eyes and half out of your mind.  Don"t fool around with what you don't know without diagnosis.

I have a hyperthyroid and I talked to my doctor about what will happen when I am ready to have kids.  He said that because of the hyperthyroid it might be harder to get pregnant but as long as its treated there should not be any problems.\n\nI had also heard that untreated hyper thyroids can cause newborns to have growth deficiencies but he said that was not true either.\n\nJust get yourself treated!  You'll feel better!

Hi Redlox\n\nIf it ends up being true then here is how to heal your condition.\n\nCause: Hypothyroidism can be caused by food allergies, excess stress, environmental toxins, insufficient exercise, B vitamin deficiencies, lack of iron, lack of digestive enzymes, liver disease, hormone imbalances, and/or parasites. All of these factors need to be screened for and addressed before lasting relief can be achieved. \n\nSulfa drugs, lithium, synthetic estrogen, and antihistamines can exacerbate hypothyroidism symptoms. In addition, if you are on thyroid medication, increase calcium supplementation to reduce the risk of bone loss. \n\nLow thyroid function may also be due to Hashimoto`s disease, a condition in which the body becomes allergic to its own thyroid gland and forms antibodies that attack it, thus lowering thyroid hormone output. \n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nBroda Barnes Home Thyroid Test: The following simple test was developed by Broda Barnes, one of the first physicians to recognize the widespread incidence of hypothyroidism. Place a thermometer by the side of your bed before you go to sleep. In the morning before getting out of bed, lie still and place the thermometer under your armpit for 15 minutes, then check your temperature. A temperature below 97.5° F may indicate a problem with the thyroid gland. Take the temperature in this manner for three days, except for the first few days of the menstrual cycle and the middle day of the cycle, and calculate the average temperature. If it is consistently low, it is an indicator that your have hypothyroidism. The lower your body temperature is, the greater your degree of hypothyroidism. \n\nDiet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet, emphasizing foods that are naturally high in iodine such as fish, kelp, vegetables, and root vegetables (such as potatoes). Also, increase your daily consumption of foods rich in vitamin B complex, such as whole grains and raw nuts and seeds, and foods rich in vitamin A, such as dark green and yellow vegetables. But avoid foods that slow down production of thyroid hormone, such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, broccoli, turnips, kale, spinach, peaches, and pears. \n\nHerbs: Mild cases of hypothyroidism can be helped by herbal bitters such as gentian or mugwort, while constipation due to low thyroid function can be improved by yellowdock, butternut, or cascara sagrada. St. John`s wort can also be helpful. \n\nHomeopathy: Calc carb. in a dose of 1M once a day is very useful for treating hypothyroidism and improving overall thyroid function. \n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n\nLifestyle: Regular aerobic exercise can play an important role in helping to regulate thyroid hormone production.\n\nNutritional Supplementation: Organic thyroid glandular extracts can help restore normal thyroid function, but should only be used under the supervision of your physician. Other useful nutrients include vitamin A, vitamin B complex, essential fatty acids, iodine, kelp, calcium, magnesium, and zinc.\n\nAlternative Professional Care: If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating hypothyroidism include: Acupuncture, Biofeedback Training, Cell Therapy, Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, Homeopathy, Magnetic Fiel

My mother was having a serious problem with her gout. I did a little research and found a product called "Gout Cure All Natural Gout Relief." I ordered some for her and she has only had one minor recurrence since (over six months now). Check out the website: www.goutcure.com. \n\nGood luck.

I don't endorse this type of treatment, but if you like you can check out http://www.herb-doc.com/thyroid.htm

I have a good friend this happened to, and they removed his thyroid.  Thyroid cancers tend to be confined to the thyroid, so the upside is removal is usually a complete cure.  The downside is, you have to take meds to replace whatever it is the thyroid is supposed to do, but that seems a fair trade for getting to keep breathing, doesn't it?\n\nHope it all works out for sis.  Lots of good info at this link:

I know a few people with thyroid problems and it does require you to take a drug called "synthroid" for the rest of your life. It really isn't a big deal at all, hopefully you have an over-active thyroid in which case you won't have to worry about the side effect of weight gain as you do with an under active one. Your primary care doctor should be able to feel if your thyroid is enlarged at the base of your neck, he may or may not refer you to a specialist, depends on your doctor, some primary care doctors can treat the condition. It's really nothing life threatening and shouldn't really effect much except possible weight gain or loss, being very tired all the time and other minor problems. Good luck and call your doctor, again, it's not much to worry about :)

wow, i did when i was 20 y/o, and it was scarey, but all went well with me, and now i'm doing great...just have to take a thyroid supplement every day, and make sure you have it checked reg. throughout your lifetime...for me, i had to have thyroid removed and then a radiation treatment (I-131)...not all people have to go through this step

Fun wow! Been there, doing that. Get some HRT that works for you. Exercise. Watch your diet. Your thyroid goes amuck. I chose not to take the synthroid and really watched my diet. Silly as it sounds, for the sleep problem, I took/take 2 benadryl before I hit the sack. Read and read! There are lots of good articles on the net addressing this. I was lucky, I didn't get hit till I was 55, but then I also had a baby in my forties.....so go figure. Good luck!!!!

Here is the number one source you will need while learning what to do with your illness.\n\nI was hyper, had Graves. Had it removed at 12, it grew back at 35 and had it removed again due to Hashimotos Thyroiditis and now I have nodules in a growing thyroid. Doc says I am very rare. Thyroids can regenerate and mine has several times! Please think long and hard about how to handle your situation and make sure you have a great Endo Dr. Also, have your IgG levels tested to see if you have an immune disorder as they are common among us Thyroid ill people.\n\nGood luck...stay strong and don't fret.\n\nOh...about forgot...your slow metabolisim will thank you if you eat like you are diabetic. The second link is for diets relating to diabetes. Also, stay away from soy products as it interferes with your thyroxin production. And lastly, drink lots of water to help flush your system.

There is no "cure" for hyperthyroidism. Best treatment though is medication.

Hypothyroid is NOT the way to go!! I would say anything but that! Have you consulted your physician with all the alternatives, as well as the pros & cons of each?\nI have given several links below to read & perhaps you can read through & understand the different thyroid symptoms & problems.\nHere is some information about myself, plus some symptoms in case anyone coming upon your question may be interested:\nI have low thyroid. If you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: Can you see the floor of your house? That was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no! I would give just about anything up to not have thyroid problems! It sucks, and the time I skip a day or two, I really get knocked out!\nAnyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.\nIf you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are: increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.\nI take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. There's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. I hope i've helped you!!
