I know we're pretty focused on the craziness going on in politics right now, and so we have moved on from anything related to illness, but this is the best place I know of to ask anything about ivermectin and people's success with it.
Has anyone here, or anyone you know, used ivermectin for anything relating to thyroid issues? Such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, Hashimoto's, or Grave's disease?
I am currently dealing with subclinical hypothyroidism and want to avoid taking the typical medication prescribed for it because of the side effects. I'm trying to change my diet, removing foods that cause inflammation or an autoimmune response, and add the right vitamins and supplements, however it will take some time to notice much of a difference in symptoms.
Since ivermectin is such a wonder drug for practically everything else, I wanted to see if it has any effect on healing the thyroid. So does anyone have any info on if it could help or not?
Thanks for any advice you can give. God bless!
I’ve been taking levothyroxine for thirty years and I have had no adverse effects from it. There are a few interactions which are easily controlled by taking the levothyroxine a few hours separate from the other drugs.
The few precautions concern improper dosage or misuse which are pretty much on the patient.
If you are TSH deficient, it may take a couple of months to get stabilized but after that, it’s pretty much clear sailing.
I wish I could just go and take it but I've always been susceptible to bad side effects from all kinds of medication, so I want to avoid it if I can. For now I'm trying to change my diet and take the proper vitamins I'm low on. I'll be testing my levels again in a few weeks to see if I'm any better or worse.
Levothyroxine is an exact duplicate of the chemical your body produces naturally. It's not similar, it's not an analog, it is exactly the same.
Get competent medical assistance from a physician specializing in metabolic disorders and stop reading the web for medical advice.
Water has adverse side effects if misused.
Levo is synthetically made, and only supplements your body with T4, not T3 as well (I think it was T4). This is why some people take the natural form of levo which is Armour Thyroid from pig thyroid glands, which has both T4 and T3. Still it has many of the same side effects as levo which is why I'm avoiding both for now. If all else fails I will fall back on taking either one of those.
