Hello,I'm 22 year old female and I am diagnosed with hypothyroidism I was on medication but I had allergic reaction to it, so I stopped it I don't want to start taking another medication is there any home remedies ? Please please help thanks!

Has the Dr had you on all the meds for this? Usually if one doesn't work for you they will prescribe you something different until you find something that works. Also you should follow a nutritional diet for hypothrodism. There are things you should avoid eating and things you should make sure you do eat.

My cousin treats her hypothyroidism with aloe vera juice. She says it works great, but she is also taking medication as well. Maybe its something to look into for you? It does not taste good however...

No I haven't tried other meds to be honest I don't want to I rather cure myself with home remedies.

Thanks for the information love :) I might try that.

Also try to remember, your doctor wants what is best for you. And the doctor will do his/her best to find a medication that will work for you with as little side effects as possible. Trust me, I know the desire to stay as natural and homeopathic as possible. But sometimes, medication from a trusted doctor really is a good thing!

No its not oil, it's a jug of the juice. Good luck!

Make sure you buy food grade aloe

I have a thyroid condition, I've been on synthroid for almost 15 years now.

I've tried home remedies, and none of them ever worked. This is serious, you shouldn't be playing around with your health like this, hoping that you'll find something that works. You really do need to talk to your doctor about this, and get regular blood testing to see if your levels are stabilizing.

Ok Hun thanks a lot ;).

You are welcome, as Jennipepsi said it is important to keep up with your doctor. Monitoring is essential. Doing alternatives is good for balancing and stabilizing but left unmonitored it can get worse even if you feel you are getting better.

15 years? God! I hate taking meds, ye I have to go and see my doc plus I also have low iron levels, do the medication help you? I mean do u feel tired all of the time? I have muscle pain in my neck and I'm always tired do you have these symptoms?

The medication does help with my thyroid issue, and I'll be on it for life, as will you. You can't cure this, it can only be controlled.

I'm also anemic (low iron levels) but that has nothing at all to do with my thyroid problem. So yes, my pills do help, but I still feel tired all the time because of the anemia.

Hm oh right for life? Do you not take any medications for your iron levels? I I was taking iron tablets and I got Ill from it so I stopped it, now I drink water and sugar what my mum makes me it's a home remedy to treat low iron levels where we come from,maybe you should try that basectly you get a cup of cold water and add one white cube sugar (you have to use cube ones) then mix it and leave it overnight then drink it in the morning, start from 1 to 10 then 10 to 1 and see how you feel then give it a try Hun. Take care!

That is dangerous advice and is not to be used for anemia.

Don't worry J, I'm smart enough to know that, and I wouldn't have followed that advice.

To the OP, I take iron tablets, and I eat foods rich in iron such as tuna, spinach, etc. Sugar water doesn't work for iron levels. How could it? You have to be logical about the home remedies you try. Your recommendation really has no logic at all. Think about it. How would sugar water elevate your iron levels? Neither sugar or water contain iron.

Don't know Hun that's what people drink where we come from they say it treats iron levels so that's what I've been drinking these last ten days, if you don't like it then don't its your choice I didn't force you to making it,I told u from my heart.

I understand that you posted that advice because you thought it would be helpful. But drinking sugar water can actually be dangerous advice. I'm smart enough to know better, but someone else may not be, and you could put them in danger.

That's why I don't like the advice being given on this thread. I do agree with home remedies, but they have to make sense, and it's always best to discuss them with your doctor first. It's very dangerous to self treat, or to advise others to self treat.

This site is about answering questions and helping people. When the advice posted is potentially harmful, that's the exact opposite of what we do here.

You mentioned the iron deficiency makes you 'tired all the time', perhaps you think this sugar water thing is helping with the deficiency (it's not) because you feel not so tired? Sugar will do that to you...

I know this website is to help people that's why I signed up for it, anyway if you know and u think its harmful then that's your choice you know best. I'm not trying to give people harmful remedies I'm not a doctor I just said that because I was bought up with that remedy all of our family used that, what is dangerous about? Anyway I don't want to argue about that.

I don't think so because since I'm taking it I feel better it's the thyroid I'm not taking any meds for it.

Sugar is a false energy. I use to have high energy/metabolism. Ate tons of sugar but I swore it had me border line anemic because sugar is a false energy. You have a spike at first. I cut down on sugar and started cooking with cast iron and that was really what helped my anemia.

Aaa OK, you use cast iron? That's good I will try that thanks.

There are different forms of anemia, if yours is from lack of nutrients it is something you can somewhat control. For low iron vitamin C helps absorb iron. Folic acid and B12 may be helpful too. I remember my grandmother telling me to take black strap molasses.
I found this article that may be a bit helpful. hypothyroidism & iron (http://www.thyroidnz.org/iron.php)
Remember no one thing is ever a cure all. Too many people rely on the doctor for all their health answers. They take meds to 'fix' the symptoms but then go about eating the same bad foods and not eating the foods that they need to help balance and stabilize their condition. I learned to listen to your body and study for yourself. Have your doctors diagnosis and keep up with your doctor monitoring your health issues. Work with your doctor but I have found you are what you eat to be very true. I use to have all sorts of health problems. I changed a lot of what I eat according to my health problems. I am close to 60 years old and I have no health problems other than occasional aches. I have never been on any long term prescription meds either.

Yes your right doctors only give you meds for everything it cures one illness then it brings another illness, and that is why I'm asking you guys that have the same problem as me for some home remedies.

Have you thought about possibly taking the medication your doctor prescribes, and then treating your other symptoms naturally? As nohelp4u said, there are many vitamins that can help with the other symptoms.

How is your sleep? Are you getting good sleep? A full 7-9 hours?

You do have to watch and monitor with a Dr. Because something can counteract while some things can be like an overdose. Like vitamin k and cumadin.

I'm not getting enough sleep because I have 2 children I wake up few times in the night for them, but when I do sleep I sleep like a baby maybe it's because I get tired.
