Dear Frens, I have learned so much about my own health and using alternative remedies and sources, and I am very grateful to you for that.
I turn to you for help and guidance for a friend with Hashimoto hypothyroidism. She was not helped with synthetic drugs, but initially found improvement with Armour Thyroid (desiccated pig thyroid). She's been on the lowest dose for 3 years and her symptoms are worsening, yet no doctor will prescribe a higher dose to see if it will help. Are there alternative sources to which she can turn to find assistance? She lives in the Columbus Ohio area. TY
What is your issue? TSH is the measure of thyroid function, at least from a grand overview. You're so off base about this I don't even know what to say.
My "false narrative"?? What, you mean, my LIFE EXPERIENCE?? My TSH was high for years, and now that I've found a way to heal myself it's lower than it's ever been before. Please explain what is "false" about that?
Before these tests doctors didn't know what an under-active thyroid WAS. Only that people may have felt tired but probably chocked it up to "hysteria" or "female malaise" or something. We still don't know the full extent to what the thyroid does and controls in the body.
My gosh you really got a bee in your bonnet about this. Sorry that my life experience offends you so much. You're more than welcome to ignore me and move on with your life. Take care "sweetheart."
