Lately, I have been struggling with weight gain, depressed moods and the want to sleep more than normal. A year and a half ago, I had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and did not take the Synthroid (I know, I was a BAD patient!). I just started taking it a couple days ago now. Dr. said that it was all classic signs of the underactive thyroid ~ my question is this…. ifs regulating the thyroid activity will alleviate my symptoms, how quickly should I notice some changes/improvement??

I also have hypothyroidism, or hashimoto’s thyroid, which is a form of it. I was also perscribed Synthroid, and I did take it Over the first few weeks/months I began to feel much more awake and alert, and generally happier. However, it wasn’t until I reached a treatment level of Synthroid that I lost about 15 lbs. You should take the medication as the doctor perscribed it, and have him do a blood test to check your levels in about three months (they should do that anyway). At that time they will be able to determine how the medication is working for you, and if necessary they will increase the levels. If you continue to take your medication as perscribed, you will continue to feel more awake, and hopefully, as you increase your activity level, you will be able to lose weight as well. Good luck!

Dr. Rollins believes, as does Lumigrate, that it is extremely important for patients to thoroughly understand their medical condition and this full length seminar is available on Lumigrate.com. The video purchase comes with a file of the documentation to print out (or order DVD and packet comes with). It might also be a tool for patients to suggest to their doctors.

Cripes, no.

Please get to a doctor IMMEDIATELY. Blood coming out of either end of your GI system, whether it’s in your mouth or in your feces, is symptomatic of GI bleeding. In the urine, it can mean trauma to the kidney or conditions in which the kidney’s components are seriously compromised (nephritic syndrome or certain kidney infections) or a kidney or bladder stone–but those last would cause pain, which you don’t mention.

Hypothyroidism should have nothing to do with bleeding. Please get medical attention at once.

My blood test comes back on the low side of normal. I have many of the classic symptoms such as fatigue, DRY skin,excessive weight gain, chest pain, intolerance to cold/heat, hair loss, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many others. Also, my mother had complete thyroid replacement in her young thirties (i’m 34).

Take your underarm temp the first thing in the am for 5 days. If below 97.6 it is probable your metabolism is too low. Exercise, adding Vit A and Kelp. Retest in 1 month. If still low get a Doc that unddsrstands the contraversy associated with both hypothyroid testing and limitations of synthroid! God bless!

World famous endocrinologist Dr. Jacques Hertoghe, M.D. explains why the diagnosis of Hypothyroidism must be done by clinical signs and symptoms, not blood tests.
