Add new commentthyroidstory.mivox.com was started as a simple blog dealing with my new diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Topics include medical information about hypothyroidism, information about hypothyroid medications like levothyroxine (Synthroid) and Armour Thyroid, as well as natural supplements like Thyromine, vincopectine and various vitamins and minerals. The site has now expanded to include discussion forums where other hypothyroid patients can discuss their experiences with hypothyroidism, and share tips for what medications, supplements and weight loss strategies have worked best for them.
Don't stop your medication! Submitted by mivox on Thursday, 16 November, 2006 - 10:42pm How do you know you're hyper? Test results or symptoms? If you're not having hyperthyroid symptoms, don't put too much weight on test results as long as you're feeling good ... And if you ARE feeling hyperthyroid symptoms, it's time to adjust your dose downward NOT stop taking medication altogether. Talk to your doctor about adjusting your dose if you're not feeling well, and if they're overprescribing you that's easier for you to fix by yourself than people who get underprescribed ... try reducing your daily dose by a little, until you start feeling better. If you stop taking your medication, you'll just end up hypo again, with your hair falling out and everything else. Unless your thyroid has actually started producing a normal amount of thyroid hormones again, you need to stay on your medication! -------------- Reply |
