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.Quote:

Yes Your right :) I will go and see my doctor and find a better med for it,have a question does your cousin drink aloe Vera oil ?because I know that some people drink stuff like that.Quote:

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 ;).Quote:

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?Quote:

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!Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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

I found this article that may be a bit helpful. hypothyroidism & iron
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.Quote:

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.Quote:
