Medication should always be taken as prescribed or as recommended on the bottle.  Do not ever exceed the recommended dosage without clearance first from your doctor.  Many medicines taken in excess can cause more harm than good.\n\nIf your medication isn't working, see your doctor.  He can prescribe something more potent where you can follow the recommended dosage without any harm to yourself.

Hypothyroidism, wherein the thyroid gland produces an inadequate amount of thyroid hormone, is a common disorder particularly in women of childbearing age. \n\nHypothyroidism of the mother during pregnancy can result in mental retardation in the child. \n\nTreatment of hypothyroidism requires thyroid hormone medication. \n\nThe treatment goal of hypothyroidism in pregnancy is to maintain a thyroid hormone level within a normal range.\n \nWomen who are on thyroid hormone before pregnancy should have blood testing during and after pregnancy to ensure that their levels are normal.

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

go see an endocrinologist.\nArmour thyroid is a POOR form of replacement , and you can become sensitized to it. In addition to that TSH goal now is about 2.0. You are underreplaced and on the wrong product. Get on levothyroxine and the doctor will adjust dose to TSH 2.0, you really should not do the supplements!

Hyperthyroidism is any condition that results in too much thyroid hormone being produced by the thyroid gland.  Grave's disease is one cause of this condition where the entire gland becomes "overactive" and produces too much thyroid hormone.  There are other conditions that cause hyperthyroidism, but the mechnism and nature of these conditions are different from Grave's disease.  Tumors of the thyroid, and sometimes an inflammation of the thyroid can also cause hyperthyroidism.  Your doctor can do tests to determine the cause.  So in short, Grave's disease is not synonymous with hyperthyroidism, but it is one cause of it.

Iodine is very important.  Your body needs iodine in order to successfully synthesize the thyroid hormones (t3,t4). Thyroid hormones control the levels of metabolism throughout the body. If there is a iodine deficiency it will lead to an enlarged thyriod gland called a goiter (giant lump around your neck).  \n\nOutside of salt, seafood is a good source of iodine

My sister has Graves Disease. It is a disease where the immune system that causes hyperthyroidism. It can be fought by radiation treatment, a regimen of pills that are taken for the rest of your life unless another treatment is chosen, and then finally, removal of the thyroid and replacement hormones. There are alternative medicine treatments to the disease, but as with any alternative medicine, you should research to determine the usefulness of the treatments.

There's really no foods you should avoid. I have hypothyroidism myself and I think my endocrinologist said something about eating more food with iodized salt in it, since it deals with iodine deficiency. But if your on medication for it there really isn't a need for it.

You might want to check with your doctor, it could be something as simple as stress, or could be a hyperthyroid symptom.

What body supplement?  It does sound like you are UNDERWEIGHT.  Or at least almost perfect.  IF YOU ARE MALE (I didn't check) then you are a quite a bit underweight which means either you are eating like CRAP or you have a HIGH metabolism.  Perhaps you have HYPERthyroidism where your thyroid is OVERACTIVE and you cannot gain weight.  Eat Lots of different foods.  Do not eat TOO much fat.  Try ENSURE with extra protein.  Ensure is a supplement that doctors prescribe for people who cannot eat solids so it is a very good supplement.  Or get a WHEY PROTEIN POWDER AND EGG WHITES.  THESE are the BEST proteins.  Together they give you ALL the amino acids you need for your body.  Exercise appropriately.

My husband and my daughter have hypothyroidism. Both of them are stabilized with 1.25. My daughter has different symptoms than my husband. My daughter does get depressed, weight gain, etc. Not being able to take most over the counter medicine she suffers with allergies and cold. Stay with synthroid. I have used generic med on her and it was like she wasn't taking any medicine at all. \nMy husband has the mood swings. They are the worse. He also had weight loss that was very low. That was before the medication. If your test show you are stable them from there you will be able to cope with anything. My husband's blood work  is good. I wish mine was as good. My daughter is pregnant. This mess with your medication. The baby needs more than you realize. My daughter has had this since 8 years old. It interferred with her growth. My husband had it for years but wasn't diagnosed until last year. He didn't think anything was wrong. I was the one that had to deal with his mood swings. He was about to go into a coma when the dr. finally found what was wrong. Take your medicine and do your tests regular and you will be fine.

d\nHypothyroidism \n\n\n \n Day One\n\n What Is It?\n\n How Do I Know I Have It?\n\n What Is the Treatment?\n\n 10 Questions to Ask Your Doctor\n \n \n Get the WebMD Daily Newsletter\n \n\nWhat Is It?\n\nHypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland, meaning the gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in your neck. It produces, stores, and releases hormones that influence a variety of body functions, including your body's metabolism, oxygen use, growth, and development.\n\nIf you have hypothyroidism, your body's processes slow down.\n\nFor example, a fetus or baby with severe hypothyroidism can develop a condition called cretinism. The lack of growth-inducing hormones results in mental retardation, very short stature, and muscular abnormalities. When children produce too little thyroid hormone, their muscles, bones, brain, and reproductive organs do not develop properly. Nowadays, testing can identify and prevent these disorders.\n\nSevere hypothyroidism causes a problem called myxedema, especially in the elderly, characterized by dry, thick skin and other symptoms of hypothyroidism, but also slowing of mental functioning, reduced functioning of the heart and lungs, and an increased risk of death from infections.\n\nMilder forms of the condition are most common.\n\nHypothyroidism has a number of potential causes, including overtreatment of hyperthyroidism and autoimmune disorders, in which the body's immune system turns on itself and destroys thyroid gland tissue. It can also occur as a side effect of drugs being taken for other, unrelated conditions. A common genetic cause of hypothyroidism is called Hashimoto's thyroiditis.\n\nThe condition generally affects women over age 60, although 1 of every 4,000 infants is also born with hypothyroidism.\n\nAlthough some cases of hypothyroidism are not curable, most cases can be controlled by medication.

Ok, I'm a little confused by your question, do you think you have hyperthyroidism or hypothyriodism?  You said hypothyriodism more times so  I'm gonna just assume you only mis-typed your question title.  I get the two confused all the time but hyperthyroidism means your thyroid makes too much thyroid hormone and hypothyroid means it makes not enough.\n\nThe answer to your question is yes, a young thin person can have hypothyroidism.  I should know, I was recently diagnosed and I am also young and thin.  \n\nThe pediatrition won't laugh at you, he or she will talk to you about your symptoms and if they think you might have a thyroid problem then they'll do a blood test.  If you do have it, they'll probably put you on medication.\n\nAs I understand it, hypothyroidism isn't that big of a deal, it's easily treatable with medication and the medication doesn't have any side effects or anything like that.\n\nIf your mom refuses to believe you and won't make you an appointment to test for hypothyroidism, tell her you want to see a doctor to figure out what's causing the chills and twitching.  \n\nHope that helps!
