under active thyroid - anyone with experience please.

[Guest guest]

Hi

I posted a few weeks ago how my daughter Tara(16) was diagnosed with

unbderactive thyroid and goiter.

I put her on LDN at 1.5mg from which her only side effects have been a few

dreamy sleeps at first then recntly stomach butterfly effects in recent days and

one or 2 nights with leg cramps.

WHile I await antibody blod test results to tell us if the condition is

autoimmune or not, I have chosen not to put her on synthetic thyroxine.

Today we returned to the GP for a check on a small mole which was worrying Tara

and while there the gp, who had some months ago refused to even look at LDN

literature I offered when discussing my RA, caught us on the hop and asked about

Taras meds for goiter and how they were going.

Tara said she would not lie and so I told the gp we hadnt started and when

pushed I dsiclosed she was on LDN.

The GP nearly swallowed her teeth and so began a most uncomfortable and probably

predictable 5 minutes. She was explicit in stating I was ill advised and was

certain that I would not put my daughters health at risk.(hear the tone).

Nothing new here, the GP knows nothing about LDN and doesnt want to. I offered

to get a doctor who does prescribe to talk with her(am intending to go to Dr

Gilhooley in SCotland soon. No positive response from GP.

Wont be surprised if GP wants to remove us from their list(Gps can do this in

NIreland and have no legal requirement to say why!).

Our next innings is due on 10th AUgust with an endocrinologist and I dread it!

So -

ANyone on list who can dialogue with me re throid please as the recommended

thyroid groups are not live and the iodine group doesnt respond to LDN talk at

all.

I have questions about the possibility of LDN correcting thyroid and goiter

conditions without other meds.

Feel ignorant and overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to plough through on the

net about thyroid. Im having enough struggle managing my own RA.

Thanks in advance.

So,
