They wanna rip my thyroid out!

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone, Looking for some guidance regarding thyroidectomy. I have a

multi-nodular goiter that has grown a lot in the past 18 months. For part of

that time I was taking 12 mg Iodoral. My doc is pretty alternative and does use

Iodine and Armour, but he's just a GP. He has referred me to a surgeon and told

me not to take iodine again.

My thyroid trouble started at age 47 prob due to perimeno. I was hypo and also

had adrenal issues. I'm off all meds now and feel much better. Can pretty much

work all day without crashing.

I had a biopsy 18 months ago which was inconclusive. My doc recently said my

thyroid numbers are really good, but once he saw the result of the latest

ultrasound he said that it can't be working right. Huh?

Anyway, I'm wondering how hard it would be to get myself feeling normal again

once my thyroid is gone. I'm concerned that it might be cancer, of course.

Isn't there an Iodine specialist in Western NC? I could probably travel there

to get another opinion.

Thanks for your input!

Hello

As many people who have had thyroidectomies, they wish they could have done something about it first without resorting to such drastic methods. I myself have been diagnosed with papillary cancer and I am using iodine and other protocols to do the best I can for my thyroid and with luck, prayer and everything else, am hoping I will come out the other side complete with thyroid.

Laurel,I have never heard anyone say that they didn't regret getting their thyroid ripped out.I'd suggest first fixing your body temperature and seeing if the nodules go away. At 97.something your immune system is " asleep " and generally unable to deal with such things. Of course it might not even be an immunological issue, but that would seem to be the obvious place to start, especially since getting your temperature up to 98.6F feels soooo good.

Also, I believe there is a treatment for this that involves taking LOTS of T4 (Synthroid or Levoxyl) to suppress your thyroid's own production. This suppression eliminates the need for the higher output that the nodules do, so they often just go away. Of course the treatment causes 's Syndrome, but there is an SRT3 treatment to fix that but it leaves you low temperature, and there is a correction available for low temperatures.

The above two suggestions appear (to me) to be mutually exclusive, so pick one.Steve===========On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 7:40 PM, pythonesk <pythonesk@...> wrote:
