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 just moved to the states 4 months ago and am looking for a health care insurance now. My job offers one, but is way too expensive with 60 dollars a week. I am looking for something cheap and effective since I need prescription drugs such as birth control,thyroid gland and kidney medicine. I need a low cost plan for single,27. No dental really needed. Any idea which one would be good to look at for me?I reside in Jax Florida.

I have a thyroid problem in which the doctor told me that my thyroid wasnt functioning at all. I am only 20 years old and I feel weak all the time. They put me on synthroid and said that it should stabalize it or something to actually make it function properly. They said my thyroid should be a .4 and mine was a 30. I had blood work done a week ago and they said that the medicine had actually not worked and they want me to double the dosage. Someone told me that I should be on a different kind of medicine for it because it isnt functioning at all. I am kinda dumb when it comes to this subject, I know nothing about it or what can happen to me. If anyone has any information about this please let me know.

I haven’t had depression since taking my thyroid medicine, but I forgot to take my prescription home over the weekend and now I’ve been three days’ with out. I feel really, really down and I’ve been eating a lot. Will this get better once I get back on my thyroid medicine?

Are allergies commonly related to thyroid issues? Are there are any nontradition / non western medicine approaches to treatment? Is this an issue that should be adressed by a doctor?

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.

I’m only 22 years old and was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and have had the symptoms for a few years now (late teens/early twenties). Will I have to be on Armour Thyroid my whole life and is it bad if I start taking it this young? I have tried alternative medicine first and it did nothing.

I was just wondering if anybody experienced anxiety attacks while under hypothyroidism and if it was normal to have. I have been on the medicine for about 4 years and just now started experiencing them. Should I stop taking my medication and see a doctor or is it normal to have? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

My doctor told me that my thyroid production is low which is making it hard for me to loose weight, even though i’m young, on a healthy diet, and i exercise frequently. I really do not like to take medicine, I would prefer to try a natural remedy first. Any ideas?
ps. i have gained 35 lbs in one year..

I’d swear I have hypothyroidism, but my labs always come back normal range. Should I see and endocrinologist anyway? Or would that be a waste of time/money?
My mother had a goiter and had to take thyroid medicine so it’s in my family history.

I have had multinodular thyroid disease for many years. My thyroid gland works perfectly, but I have been monitored by various endocrinologists for years. I take Synthroid to get the nodules in check. However, in January, my tests (an ultrasound and a nuclear medicine scan) showed I now had 6 large fluid filled cold nodules. The Dr assured me they are benign. My Dr. increased my thyroid dosage for 6 months to see if there would be any improvement. I just had another ultrasound prior to my doctor’s appt next week & now I have 30-40 nodules. I have some difficulty swallowing, especially at night if I lay on my back, and my neck sometimes hurts. I am I know that the medical people are reluctant to remove a thyroid gland that works, but I am beginning to feel that maybe it is time for the surgery. I am 54 and in good health otherwise. Has anyone else had this situation? Do you think I should discuss this with the endocrinologist and maybe get a 2nd opinion?

Or do you need to take an antidepressant and thyroid medicine?

those who are experiencing thyroid disease please give me some details about taking medicine (how long do you take?) and taking the radioactive iodine to treat thyroid problem. thanks

Six years ago, I was diagnosed to have toxic thyroid. My doctor gave me medicine and when my thyroid is in normal level, my doctor recommend a radioactive treatment. But I never undergo a radioactive treatment. Just this afternoon, I happen to met a long highschool friend who is now a successful doctor. He told me to have a medical check up immediately because my heart might start to enlarge due to non treatment of thyroid. Is there any doctor out there who can share us ?

I have hypothyroidism and have fairly high hormone levels, which my naturopath has told me will make it difficult, if not impossible to conceive. Has anyone here conceived with hypothyroidism?
I should add: I am not on thyroid medication, other than natural treatments.

**Naturopathic medicine (also known as naturopathy, or natural medicine) is a complementary and alternative medicine which emphasizes the body’s intrinsic ability to heal and maintain itself. Naturopaths prefer to use natural remedies such as herbs and foods rather than surgery or synthetic drugs.

I have been diagnosed with a thyroid condition but as they increase my medicine my depression seems to be worsening. Is this possible? I am now on 150mcg of synthroid.

A friend of mine have part of her thyroid being removed several years ago (not sure exactly why), and logically she’s having hypothyroidism problem currently, although the doctor gave her medicine to meet the requirement.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks.
Oh yes, she’s been having bad mood and seems to forget simple things.
She is also gaining weight, but unfortunately no none seem to be able to stop her from consuming hi-fat/cholesterol food.
Is this common in such problem?
