hypothyroidism Archives

I have early stages of hypothyroidism… I also have chronic daily headaches that we think it’s related to the thyroid levels- but there are many other reason’s for my headaches so it’s complicated. Anyways does anyone else have this combination of problems (hypothyroidism and headaches) AND does taking the thyroid medicine help the headaches???

I’m looking for natural cures or simple things I can do in my life to fight Hypothyroidism. Any ideas or suggestions? Do you have this? Had this? Thanks!

I have hypothyroidism, and as a result have trouble upon trouble losing weight. I’m beginning to think it’s a no win situation and it’s very frustrating. Is there a meal plan that can help?

I said MEAL PLAN not pill, fake diet fad, or advertisement, thank you!

When I eat a little sugar (like a mini frosted cupcake) it causes a huge sugar crash, like I need to nap. Is this a telltale sign of anything? I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism with my second son but it went away after my pregnancy… 8 years ago.
Oprah was talking about hypothyroidism not too long ago and I have many signs… just wondering if the sugar crash bit rings any bells with anyone. Thanks in advance!

I got thyroid cancer 4 years ago, went through the whole sugery removal, radiation, the works. Now I"m fine. My TSH level is fine. I take hormone replacments pills everyday. Anyone who is hypothyroidism knows losing weight feels like trying to get into the olympics. Now, everytime I go to my doctor to ask what I can do to lose weight, he give me BS answers…..join and gym, eat less, eat healthier. Done all the that. Within those 4 years, I still work out on a regular basis, been eating super healthy, still do. I don’t lose a pound. I"m not overweight, but I would like to shed some pounds. It’s embrassing to be working out so much, and not have anything to show for it. So if theirs any sugestion or similar stories, please share.
Also, I can’t eat breakfast, which is the most important meal. Because My medication requires to be taken on an empty stomach. So I must take it first thing in the morning. And I have to wait an hour to eat, we can’t eat in school. I have the thyroid diet book, didn’t help too much. and when I say I eat healthy, i’m not just talking about just no sweets. it’s not meat other than fish, no chips, no soda. it’s as healthy as it can get. i herad about putting more fiber into your diet helps? I live on broccoli… literally. it’s my favorite food so that doesn’t work. cutting calories doesn’t work. working out everyday isn’t going well…low carb doesn’t work…
also my goal isn’t crazy… if i eve see myself drop 5-10 pounds i’ll jump for joy. it doesn’t have to even be a ..lose X amt of pounds in 2 seconds… I have all the time in the world.. I just really need some advice

i’m only eighteen and no i’m not trying to get pregnant right now but i do want kids in the far away future and i have hypothyroidism. a nurse told me the other day that it can decrease the chances becoming pregnant. is this true?

i really don’t need people telling me i’m too young to have kids or other rude stuff because as i’ve already said i want kids IN THE FUTURE.

thanks in advance.

do you have it? what are your symptome? what do you do for it? i’m going to go to the doctor in a couple of week, and ask her to do some blood work. any other suggestions?

I just found out I have hypothyroidism and was prescribed Levothyroxine for this, and was wondering if it will give me energy, and if I will lose weight from fixing this? Also, i have high cholestoral and was prescribed Lipitor for this,? Would any of these problems be a symptom of something else?

I am 26 and I am taking synthroid for hypothyroidism anyone know anything about breakthrough bleeding and when it stops…45 days now and Im starting to lose my mind…any advice?
thank you all so much!
Im not on birth control pills maybe it would help?

I have all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism..I am just not overweight. I was chubby up until the time I was 17 when I started a strict workout and diet schedule. I still gain weight relatively easily but I am much better at managing it now. Is it possible that I do have a thyroid problem and it just isn’t extreme? All advice is appreciated!

Have been prescribed Co-dydramol but have an underactive thyroid. It says in the leaflet to reduce the dosage if one has hypothyroidism. Would be very interested as to the effects, to decide whether to take the pills or not.

Any suggestions on how to lose weight and belly fat for someone that has Hypothyroidism?

I have Hypothyroidism and sleeping problems, I was wondering if they might be connected.
I think I might have had what ‘nursekuba’ described before, but as far as sleeping problems I mean trouble falling asleep. I have no trouble staying asleep once I am asleep, but I just can’t seem to turn my brain off and fall asleep.

I have been experiencing hair loss, excessive sweating, severe depression, severe intolerance of hot climates/surroundings, frequent nausea, and stomach pains since I was seventeen. The year before, I starved myself for a month in order to lose some weight. I have a very prevelent family history of thyroid disorder. I think, perhaps I triggered this with the shock to my metabolism that my anorexia caused. I have been eating regularly since I was 19, but the symptoms persist. What should I do? I am tired of being uncomfortable all of the time, and having thinning hair in parts because of my body’s problem…I’m only 19! My libido is one eighth of what it used to be, and my cognitive abilities aren’t what they once were…I did a bit of research and saw that all of my symptoms lined up with hypothyroidism, and I wish to know where to look or what to eat, or what I can do to change my body back…

Yeah, the question pretty much sums it up. I have hypothyroidism and saw a piece on the news about how Roger Ebert had thyroid cancer and it freaked me out, so I thought I’d ask. Thanks!

I’ve asked ALOT of questions concerning this as I’m 2 months pg with hypothyroidism. (Just found out two days ago) I’m not opposed to taking the medication, I’m just wondering if anyone has had a child born with defects linked to the medication.

I have a dobe who is taking hormone medication for hypothyroidism. Recently, I found a small bump on her abdomen near her back leg. I have a vet appointment on Friday, but meanwhile, I’ve been doing some research on what it might be. Hopefully, it’s just a benign fat lump, but does anyone if there’s a connection between her thyroid problem and this new bump? Will it go away on it’s own or will it always be there?

My son has been diagnosed with HSP and, as a result, kidney disease. It is believed that some autoimmune disorder is the cause. He takes prednisone and still suffers illness from coughing and sinus congestion. I have hypothyroidism and was wondering if this might be the cause for his problems as well. His thyroid tests came back on the low side of normal range which mine did as well. They treated me anyway. Please help.
Please note that I do not feel that my hypothyroidism is like a virus attacking his body. I want to know if he might have hypothyroidism. I know that my condition is not contagious.

I am 18 and just got diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I know it’s not a HUGE deal, but I am on Synthroid for it and on 40 mg of Adderall for ADD… but my adderall doesn’t work anymore since I’ve had hypothyroidism! I used to just take 20mg and I would work like crazy and I couldn’t go to sleep for days on it, but I tried taking 60mg and I was still tired, sluggish, and unfocused! Does anyone know why? Or if it is safe to even mix these drugs?! I am also on Zoloft for anxiety. Please help!
My doctor KNOWS all the meds I am on. Im not retarded. Im just asking if anyone else has had this happen with Adderall.

My father has hypothyroidism which he takes medication for, and it is an inheritable disease. I’m just wondering if this is the answer to some of my problems the last few years. Maybe the test was a false negative? I’m in my mid twenty’s now.

I was just wondering if anybody knows if there is something worse that could be mistaken for hypothyroidism. I am a 24-year-old male and I know quite a few people who have been diagnosed with it, but they are all older women. Is it odd that I have been diagnosed with it? Could it be mistaken for another, more serious, disease. Any feedback would help. Thanks!

I am going to be changing medical insurance soon. Am at UC Davis now. They only look at the numbers and ignore the symptoms. How does Kaiser treat hypothyroidism?

I am thinking the olnly way to have my hypothyroidism treated properly is to find a homeopathic doctor.
Calling them is a good idea and I did that. But I would like tohear from patients who have dealt with the issue and wheather they happy with their treatment.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 6 days ago though I’ve been symptomatic for a while. I don’t understand the mechanism or pathophysiology that causes my hands to swell.

I am 34 and was wondering what some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism are. My family has a history of slow thyroid and I was wondering if I should get tested? I heard there are several different blood tests to get, but many doctors only call for 1 or 2 and it is not a complete assessment if you don’t do all of them. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am trying for a baby but i got hypothyroidism and high prolactin. I am taking Parlodel and Euthyron 50 to balance my hormones and additionally I am taking Royal Jelly but I am afraid that Royal Jelly may slow down the effect of the medicine.
