Thyroid Woes
I was talking to one of my sisters last night and she mentioned some thyroid supplements her husband is taking that has to do with "whole foods" (anybody else familiar with the whole foods concept?). I seriously want some of this stuff along with the cleanse supplements. I dream of 20 pounds just melting off of me...good dream huh?
Many people take a diet pill with good results. I can't take them because of the medication I am on for my thyroid disease. I react oddly to medications since starting thyroid hormones seven years ago so I don't risk it. It'd be nice to find a cure and have my thyroid fully functioning again. The problem is I don't know if it is completely dead by now so it may be too late.

I have hypothyroidism, not sure if that is what you are referring to but I wouldn't mix any of the health food stores junk with the meds you are taking with it. Good luck.
I have hypo too with goiters and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I wouldn't go to the health food store either. This stuff my sister was telling me about requires a doc to prescribe but a lot of M.D.'s don't/won't. Chiropractors and D.O.'s (Doctor of Ost...something, lol) usually do. My Brother-in-law is a Chiropractor and takes it. It sounds promising so I want to definitely look into it.
I don't have a goiter but grandma did. Every woman on my father's side has one form of it, hypo or hyper. Some of us have had it both ways. It's a pain as you well know but once you figure it out and keep testing it can be controlled pretty well.
They keep my levels steady but I have several nodules that bug me. They told me seven years ago that once they got my thyroid levels adjusted, which they didn't have a problem doing from the beginning, they'd go away. They never have.
Besides being damn ugly (like an adam's apple on the right side of my neck), sometimes if I laugh and have my head turned a certain way, it chokes me, lol. **laugh, laugh, gag, choke**
