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.
Iodine and hashis ... Submitted by mivox on Thursday, 8 March, 2007 - 10:58pm I have heard that iodine supplementation is generally not recommended for hashimotos thyroiditis patients (which is usually diagnosed with a thyroid antibody test). Linda, have you asked your doctor about trying Armour thyroid? No thyroid medications contain iodine, but Armour thyroid (and the other "natural" thyroid medications) do contain a lot of thyroid hormones and other thyroid products that synthetic meds like levoxyl and cytomel don't. If your doctor won't prescribe Armour, you might want to try a natural thyroid supplement like Thyromine, or a similar thyroid "glandular" from a health food store. That may provide your system with enough extra thyroid support to start helping your remaining symptoms! -------------- Reply |
