What do you think untreated diabetes and hypothyroidism for 10 years could do to you?
How long after treatment do you think a person would feel in good health again?
I’m on meds, now, after 10 yrs. of not knowing.
im surprised youre still alive and kicking both of those can cause serious problems in your body leading to death. i am a type 1 diabetic, once you get your sugars under control for a couple of weeks that part of it should feel better, i am also hypothyroid, ive had that for a year or so and i cant believe you let the symptoms go for that long, once you start the thyroid replacement meds it takes 4-6weeks for you to start feeling better assuming they have the dose right, thats basically a hit or miss thing, they give you a smaller dose and work their way up according to the labs they should be doing every 6 weeks, you wont start to feel better until they get the dose right, when they do have it right though it should be 4 to 6 weeks that you start to feel better but for all of the hypothyroid symptoms to go away it could take up to a year after you get your dose right

My sister has hypothyroidism and she stopped taking prescription for it . Is she going to be okay?
My sister was diagnosed 2 years back and took Rx that were prescribed to her. Last year she went back to China and was given a dose of something strong. She was then asked to take a supplement for a whole month. Afterwards they said she doesn’t have to rely on any pills for it again.
The treatment is popular in China, as many Chinese- especially the women- are known to have had or to have hypothyroidism. And my sister is a firm believer. She had not taken any more Rx for it and claims to be okay.
I had asked her if she had gone to the doctor here to inform him of her changes in following his treatment plan, and she said yes.
I just hope she will stay healthy.
What do you think? And have you heard of success stories alike?
I’d say that if she looks and feels fine then she should be okay. I’d reccomend though that she get a checkup and have herself tested again to see what the results are. If it comes up "clean" then she’ll know for sure. Watch her though and make sure she doesn’t act sick or anything and if she does alert her doctor…He may be able to persuade her to being her medication again.
Can anyone recommend a good forum for hypothyroidism where people discuss different meds and results?
I am just diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am reading all the books but would like to hear about real results people are getting on any holistic treatments like yoga, herbs, etc (in addition to thyroid meds of course). There seem to be some very informed answers in the archives here so wondering if you have found some good forum sites. Thanks in advance!
I was just diagnosed with hyothyroidism twelve weeks ago, and I found a thyroid disorder forum that has been extremely helpful and informative. The search archives is very extensive!! Here you go:

Natural / holistic treatment for Hypothyroidism?
I have hypothyroidism. Are there any natural / holistic treatements for it? Any supplements that would help??
If a mainstream protagonist tells you not to worry about iodine, that would be one of the first things I would look at. First of, the tiny amount of iodine added to iodized salt may be enough to provide most of us with the measlely RDA of iodine, but it comes nowhere near the optimal amount of iodine. The fact is that supplemental iodine can be very healthy and can help address or prevent a number of health problems. Maybe that is why we are told there is need to take it?
Secondly, contrary to the mainstream line, iodine deficiency has not been wiped out in the U..S. While iodine deficiency was not common in the U.S. in years past, it is again on the rise. The first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I), which took place between 1971 – 1974, found that just 2.6% of US citizens had iodine deficiency. The followup NHANES III survey, conducted between 1988 – 1994, found that 11.7% are iodine deficient. The October, 1998 issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that over the previous 20 years, the percentage of Americans with low intake of iodine has more than quadrupled.
As others have correctly posted, there are indeed natural alternatives that can be effective against hyperthroidism. They just aren’t mainstream patented medicines and of course they are naysayed here.

congenital hypothyroidism family support, experiences from families who have children with hypothyroidism?
I’ve been told that my boy who aged 2 weeks has congenital hypothyroidism (his thyroid gland is not functioning). He is now on hormonal replacement therapy. I need to know the experiences from other families, how they cope with daily treatment? how their children grow up? etc.
My name is Tina, my son has CH and he is 2.5 yrs old. I know at this point you are scared and wondering what is in your son’s future. Don’t worry, everything will be just fine.
Unless I told you, no one would know Lex has CH. And he has been taking his pill whole since he was one. So even that part gets better. And he is super smart. People usually think he is 4 yrs old because he talks so well. Please join our CH group on yahoo groups. There are about 125 parents who have been in your shoes. The group is great. I look forward to learning more about you. lex and my story is on the site in the files section.

What treatments have you found effective for hypothyroidism?
Especially the depression and fatigue that goes with it.
There is only one treatment for hypothyroidism – prescription replacement thyroid hormones.
