I know very little about it but I hope everything goes well for you Carrie. Hopefully if you do need the hormones though, they will make a difference to your life. I hope so.

my dear friend was diagnosed after losing a lot of hair. she was always tired and now feels much better.

does anyone have this/anyone you know have this?

do you have to take hormones?

I had a physical this morning and my doctor is testing me for it. I forgot to ask when I'll find out so I'm gonna have to call them later or something.

I HATE the idea of having to take hormones for the rest of my life. I'm hoping I'm just fine. although it would explain a lot.

I've been tested a couple of times and each time they tell me that I am just on the cusp (is that the right word?)of having it - so they do nothing.

My mom is hypothyroid. She felt like hell but after she got on medication, she feels a lot better. Having a thyroid problem obviously isn't anything anybody wants, but at least it's one of the most simple conditions to treat.

I have almost every symptom of hypothyroid and have had my thyroid levels checked so many times over the years, but because the range of "Normal" for thyroid levels is so broad the doctors say there is nothing they can do at this point to treat me, not until my labs come back technically abnormal.

I hope you're okay, but if you do have to take medication, you're going to feel lots better and in the end that'll be worth it.

You can also talk to a Homepathic Pro ... ( I use one for almost all medical things 1st before script meds )

and read up on Thyromine

it is a natural herbal remedy that helps your thyroid work well.

I had hypothyroidism about 6 years ago. I was given a small pill to take daily. I think I was on the pill for about a year. Then my levels of T3 or T4, I can't remember which one now...were at a normal level and I was taken off of the pill. I've been checked a few times since then and my levels were ok.

Although lately, I'm feeling tired again,having some join pain, weight gain and sometimes my memory isn't as clear as I would like it to be. Perhaps I should have the thyroid test done again.

I'm not trying to insight any worry but I should also say that I had a lot of hormone problems after that but doctors didn't say it was due to hypothroidism rather it was perimenopause. Last year I had a hysterectomy,as this was the best course of action for all of the problems I was having.

If you do have hypothyroidism and have to take hormones it might not be for the rest of your life....please think positively and don't get too worried. Handle it one day at time.

Thanks for the input, guys!

I still haven't heard from my doctor. I think I'll call them today.

I called the lab and there was a recording saying I will hear back in writing in 10-20 days.
