Q&A: I suspect I have low thyroid, but want to treat it as naturally as possible, not with synthetics drugs. Doctor
Question by realisticview: I suspect I have low thyroid, but want to treat it as naturally as possible, not with synthetics drugs. Doctor
I want natural treatment and natural hormones if necessary. Does anyone have knowledge or experience with this, such as if I can still buy a mercury thermometer to measure basal body temp. in the morning under armpit. Also any experience with natural treatment and doctors? I have read Dr. Broda Barnes’ book and I feel that many tests that even an endocrinologist would suggest are not really necessary. If basal temperature is low than it seems safe to assume that so is the thyroid, especially when symptoms are present. I want to find a mercury thermometer, then if low temp. is confirmed I want to take armour thyroid and then monitor temp. and any changes in symptoms. If someone has knowledge of natural medicine and treatment which could support me even better than this idea, without costing a fortune, I would most appreciate the info, thanks.

To determine if you really need thyroid hormones you need to do a checklist of symptoms and get a medical diagnosis of hypothyroidism.
Have you:
Sleep pattern disturbances
Menstrual disturbances
Swelling
Gained weight significantly?
Felt very uncomfortable on cold weather?
Hormones are hormones, and take them only if needed.

What meds are safe to take with Hypothyroidism disease?
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.

What are your thyroid symptoms?
I’ve read all the literature and some other questions, but I want to know YOUR symptoms of an over or underactive thyroid. What do you experience? I think mine is low, but I haven’t had it checked yet. What do you say to the doctor if it is a low normal and they don’t think you need meds, but you know it just ain’t workin’ for you? "Give me some freakin’ drugs!"?
Holy crap! That low temperature thing is totally me! Who knew?!
