Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 You might want to try Thyrocalm, a very strong concoction of herbs used to treat hyperthyroidism (bugleweed, lemon balm) that doesn't have the risk of low platelets. You have to have it prescribed through a doctor or naturopath, it's manufactured by Temperature Syndrome, they have a website. Start at a high dose (6 pills/day) and then taper down as your levels come into range. Sorry you're dealing with so many things at once! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi Everyone.. Thank you for all the posts. I tried to read them when I can I'm a 37 year old female with a blood disease called thrombocytopenia purpora (low blood platelets). I carry mine very low. I also have severe low blood sugar. I was just diagnosed with hyperthyriodism...again LOW!! My doctor feels that the hyperthyroid is causing my severe low blood sugar. Anyway, I am currently on beta blockers because my heartrate averages between 88 and 112....scary!! The doc suggested getting the radioactive iodine treatment but I'm scared. I've been reading on Tapazole and apparently it can cause low blood platelets (bleeding) so I can't take it I have been increasing my calcium/mag, iron/copper, B's and Boron but haven't improved. The doctor is retesting me in less than 2 months. I feel like I'm at the end of my wits. I'm scared and I don't know if doing the RAI treatment would be wise. I'm really considering it though because I can't stand the way I feel. I can't exercise because of the low blood sugar and heart rate...I eat allll day. I also have osteopenia (a step away from ostoeperosis)!!! HELP! ANY advice would be sooo appreciated. Thank you! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
