"Why do I STILL have thyroid symptoms?"
Has your doctor told you that you don't have a
problem and yet, you know you do? Does your endocrinologist have to keep changing or increasing your thyroid medications? Have your thyroid medications begun not to work as well as they used to? You've got good company.
Here's how it starts...
You gradually put on weight over the last few years. You feel sad or depressed, more often than you should. You start feeling cold, even if other people are comfortable, although you may have the occasional "hot flash" and your heart races for a few minutes and then calms down. Your blood pressure or cholesterol gradually rise. Eventually, you may undergo treatment for low B12, low iron, gluten problems, food allergies, anxiety (maybe even panic attacks), depression, and digestive problems. Your energy drags in the morning and you rely on stimulants like caffeine. After you've had this for a while, you may start losing your hair in distinct patches, or develop increasing joint pain, psoriasis, or Diabetes Type 1 (the kind that requires insulin).
Eventually, a health practitioner checks your thyroid
function. They tell you your thyroid
tests are "normal". Actually, the word "tests" is a misnomer, because all they order is one single test. The interesting part is, that single test
does not specifically check the thyroid gland function itself! So in reality, they're not checking your
thyroid gland at all. TSH can vary widely, so testing it once doesn't always reveal a problem. Not only that, but the "normal range" your results are compared to is so wide that many autoimmune thyroid problems get missed.
You may have tried taking supplements with iodine, and that doesn't help. In fact, you're not sure, but you think it may even make you feel worse. You may end up seeing an endocrinologist, who will prescribe thyroid hormones. Relief at last! They may work--for a while. Your doctor may have to keep increasing your medication or changing the dose. Meanwhile, you become more and more frustrated. Why? Because you've got an entirely different problem going on inside you - UNDIAGNOSED.
Did you know that 90% of women taking thyroid medications STILL have thyroid symptoms, even though they've been told their lab tests are "normal"? The problem may not even be the thyroid itself, so standard medical treatment will NOT work for 9 out of every 10 people suffering from thyroid issues!
Hypothyroid (low thyroid) symptoms - do you see yourself in this list?
* Fatigue
* Weight gain or
increased difficulty losing weight
* Blurry vision
* Coarse, dry hair
* Hair loss or
thinning hair
* Cold intolerance
(you get cold easily)
* Muscle cramps
and frequent muscle aches
* Constipation
* Depression
* Irritability
* Memory loss
* Decreased libido
If more than one or two of these are true for you, this can indicate low thyroid function.
Hyperthyroid (excessive) symptoms - how about this list?
* Excessive
sweating, especially at night
* Heat intolerance
* Increased bowel
movements
* Tremor (usually
fine shaking)
* Nervousness;
agitation
* Anxiety, panic attacks
* Rapid, strong
heart rate or heart palpitations
* Weight loss
* Fatigue
* Decreased
concentration
* Irregular and
scant menstrual flow
If more than one or two of these fit you, this can indicate excessive thyroid function.
If you have symptoms in BOTH lists, you may have Hashimoto's Disease.
You're not alone. About 7 or 8 out of every 100 people have symptoms of low thyroid function. That's over 20 million people - almost as common as diabetes!
For 9 out of every 10 of those people, the problem is more complicated than just having a low thyroid. This works out to 18 million people.
There are about 7 different types of thyroid dysfunction, and only ONE of them is solved by prescribed thyroid hormones. (Hint: it's not the 90%)
This means that the remedy given to everyone with thyroid issues is only the answer for a tiny few.
Most medical doctors do not have or know of any other course of treatment, so they will not find and address the real cause.
