ago...way before I was DX'd with thyroid problems.

I have been taking decongestants for over 25 years as I stay constantly

congested and thought it must be from allergies. Could taking the decongestants

have caused my hypo state or did the hypo cause the allergies?

That happened to me in my 30's. I suddenly developed this odd

reaction to the Pseudoephedrine in cold meds--felt wired and

HORRIBLE. Only later did I discover that it goes hand in hand with

thyroid issues.

That happened to me in my 30's. I suddenly developed this odd

reaction to the Pseudoephedrine in cold meds--felt wired and

HORRIBLE. Only later did I discover that it goes hand in hand with

thyroid issues.

I would agree with this. I got extreme congestion when pregnant this last

time. I started on nasal spray only to never go back. Have been

contemplating asking Bobby for his tried and true method of weaning off. I

have quit before (about a year ago) but only with the help of decongestants.

Then I heard that nasal congestion can be caused by hypo so I am upping my

dose in the hopes that will get better. Also my eyesight is getting better.

Went from 2 gr to 3 gr over night but dosing 3x instead of twice a day. So

far nothing but good things have come from it. Hoping the 3 gr will help my

poor nose too.
