I decreased dosage from 0.075 to 0.050

[Guest guest]

HELLO ALL IN THESE HYPOTHYROID FORUMS:

I have decreased my dosage from 0.075 to 0.050 mgs of levothyroxine, i don't

take armur thyroid yet, but i would like to buy some or Cytomel. But i don't

know how much to take, i would have to ask my endocrinologist-doctor. Another

thing that i wanna say is that i know this girl who works around here, who quit

taking levothyroxine cuz the doctor said that she doesn't need it anymore, i

thought that levothyroxine was forever in hypothyroid patients, maybe she has

hypothyroid-2

take care all

Don't apologize, your life story was appreciated and so was your information.

It has been yrs. since I researched synthroid but 9 yrs ago when I took myself

off of it I know that one of the main ingredients is talc, which I have read and

learned many times is one of the top 5 cancer causers, but I'm sure everyone can

list their own top 5. Where can I get the iodine? Last time I checked my TSH

it was 11.8 and that was when I was 2 months pregnant, have not checked it since

March. I am going to get it checked in a few weeks to see if it went back down

to the 4.5 it was at before the pregnancy. I'm sorry, did you mention what you

are taking? Maybe I will suggest something other than synthroid when I think

about getting pregnant again. Have a nice weekend and thanks in advance for any

info.....

if the goitre is your only issue then you are probably right to try to

shrink it naturally - have you tried iodine?

By the way I wasn't aware of ingredients in the " top 5 cancer causing

list " in bio-identical hormones - can you say what they are?

Synthroid is just one brand and it is known to cause problems - some

speculate because of the binders - I don't take it so can't comment. But

if you do have to take hormone in the future you should probably try

another brand since you react to it so badly. Something that makes you

that sick simply could not be doing your thyroid any good at all. IMO

I'm sorry of I misunderstood the severity of your situation - if I had

realised you are basically well I wouldn't have bothered you with my

life story - my mistake.

I wish you well,

Kerry

Re: Introducing myself

Hi I am new to this as well so I am assuming when I reply to

you it is going to everyone??? Anyway, I have been off of synthroid for

9 yrs. and on all natural remedies since, I have felt great.......until

I got pregnant, miscarried, and now my thyroid has not been the same and

I have a goiter. I am seeking alternative help because I refuse to be

on a synthetic drug for the rest of my life. I am currently taking

" dried freeze thyroid tissues " from cows in New Zealand. I also take a

supplement called " rev it up " which you can find on Dr. Dane's website.

I am doing acupuncture, chiropractice, zinc, calcium, sea vegetable, and

yoga!!! It's crazy I know but I can't see going western with this. Like

I said, all of this was completely helping me until I got pregnant and

now I am not and can not get my gland to go back the way it was. I wish

you luck and I am hoping I can find some holistic help on this site.

and I am new to this group. I was diagnosed

with hypothyroid disease in May 2004 after I went through an unusual

weight gain that began in January 2004. I have been through 2 family

physicans who have interest in thyroid issues and am seeing my second

endocronologist. She is finally explaining to me what a normal range

is and believes me when I say my weight problems are thyroid related.

I keep reading about a lot of herbal supplements and other vitamins

that may help. I guess I'm looking for weight management advice

besides diet and exercise, which I feel I do great with.

I look forward to hearing others share experiences.

Thanks,
