Thyroid issues

Thanks Iwishiwasthere and Lady D. We can't makes groups right now. Daddy-o said maybe in the future, but we can post to this thread. Lady D, I've always had the cold feet and hands things and my temps always ran lower than normal, even when I was sick. I quit smoking almost two years ago and never got that burst of energy that I had gotten before when I quit.

My question of the day to all the SoWal Thyros is how did you handle the shedding. My doc mumbled that it would probably get worse, before it got better when I started taking the synthroid. Yesterday, I was not happy when I saw the results after shampooing in the drain. It gave me a sads....

My hair became brittle and thin before the synthroid, and has slowly improved over three years. Its almost back to normal. Eyebrows have thinned too.

My daughter-in-law asked me what I had done to my eyebrows years ago, she noticed a thin bald looking spot in one of them and thought I had tried to shave them, why would I want to do that? I told her I never have done that and I haven't. Wonder if you get sore throats with thyroid problems? I sure have plenty of them.

I got the worst one of my life a few weeks before they tested me although other symptoms had been happening for a few years. I've read that many Hashi pts. have them when their body is attacking their thyroid.

I was on the second round of a antibiotic while at the beach, had already taken one round for 10 days with no effect, I had a huge abscess looking place on one tonsil where I kept having white spots showing up on it radiating from one spot to another, that spot was back last night. Everytime I have a sore throat bad enough that spot comes up. Never had it move from one spot to another though. Would hate to think that is the cause of all of my sinus/sore throat issues.

I'm still experiencing my regular allergies and a little stuffy nose, but the face pain and the chills, and fatigue, that usually accompanied them are gone. I just don't think my sinuses were doing their job as everything was so slowed down. They are becoming more efficient and the sinus rinse that works for everyone, works for me now too. I have more productive sneezes and coughs. Just mho.

Glad to hear things are improving.... Have you tried smoking some weed? I'm pretty sure it's supposed to clear up thyroid issues. Either that or glaucoma. I can't remember. But I'm pretty sure it's thyroid issues.

Just went on FB and added myself. As for shedding, it takes a while. That is one way I know I am getting out of my range. I just mop the floor each day, but it will be thicker soon once you get regulated. My eyebrows... find a good liner. They never returned.

The shedding is less today and I think you're right. If you have too much or too little, the shedding will increase. Thanks and thanks for joining the group. Feel free to post or start any discussion you like. Have you tried any type of hair vit. or the rogaine for women? I have eyeballed the box this week and then thought, nah, and put it back.

I have an appointment with Dr. Soto tomorrow relating to hypothyroidism and alternatives to my current treatment of synthroid. Actually my consultation is for an hour about being/feeling younger, so it's an over all kind of thing that will hit on the thyroid. Dr. Soto has been recommeded to me by two different people, he is local and he will prescribe treatment other than synthroid, which is my objective. I am really excited about feeling WELL...not just better. I will report back.

I will be getting blood work done this week at Dr Soto's. I have been off the synthroid for a few days and I am worthless. Can't wait to try something else. I am wondering what pharmacy I can get Armor and how much it will cost?
