go see an endocrinologist.\nArmour thyroid is a POOR form of replacement , and you can become sensitized to it. In addition to that TSH goal now is about 2.0. You are underreplaced and on the wrong product. Get on levothyroxine and the doctor will adjust dose to TSH 2.0, you really should not do the supplements!

Call your provider and ask them.

There is no "cure" for hyperthyroidism. Best treatment though is medication.

Has your thyroid problem been diagnosed by a doctor or is it just your own explanation? The thyroid hormone is available in a pill for those who don't have enough naturally. The doctor will monitor the amount of the hormone in your bloodstream by doing frequent blood tests. The medical term for what you lack is "TSH" for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It's a cheap prescription, if you really need it. There's a kind of seaweed called "kelp" that is marketed as helping to boost your metabolism. The reason it works is because it contains natural iodine (as iodized salt does) and that helps your body make more TSH. But BE CAREFUL. I seriously f***ed up my body by taking too much kelp supplements. Little did I know I had a genetic predisposition to get Grave's Disease (a form of low thyroid). In conclusion, see a doctor if you think you need a thyroid supplement. It's a cheap generic drug.

Me too.  It's a huge problem.  Try RxOutreach, they will provide generics $20 for 3 month supply.  Also, many of the major pharmaceutical companies have patient assistance programs which may completely cover the cost of the medication.  Also try PPARx.org for information on other programs.

I have hypodthyroidism too. (Im 26 and was diagnosed at 20.) Fortunately, generic synthroid does work for me. Is it the dosage that is too low? or something else? When I was first diagnosed, they had to increase my dosage twice (once was a month after being diagnosed). Sometimes it takes time to get your levels right.  Though, I met someone recently who told me that synthroid alone did not work for her. Either way, if your doctor isnt willing to prescribe anything but synthroid or the generic form, maybe you should see another doctor and get a second opinion. Are you goign to your internist/family doctor or are you seeing an endocrinologist? I would think an endocrinologist would give you whatever it takes to make you better. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

Initially, you may want to have thyroid function testing (TFTs) done to rule out hyperthyroidism.  If you're pretty certain this isn't an issue, you may be able to manage your hyperhydrosis with a strong antiperspirant, like Mitchum, and use it on your hands and feet as well. Wear socks that are 100% cotton and bring an extra pair with you to work. There are medications you can take to help control and lessen it.  Check with your doctor.  However, I suspect there's more to this than hyperhydrosis and I advise you to seek a medical opinion. I wish you the best of luck.

are you sure he meant that the fact that you will always have to take medicine will never go  away? that's something i will have to do for the rest of my life, is take 1 pill a day for my thyroid problem.\ni've answered your other questions, but i am also going to answer here in case anyone would be intersted that reads your question.\n\ni have low thyroid. if you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: can you see the floor of your house? that was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!\nanyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.\nif you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are:increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.\nI take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. there's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. i hope i've helped you!!

Unfortunately, with radioactive iodine and large enough dose your thyroid gland will be completely destroyed.  It usually doesn't grow back. Yes, you can live without replacement but I gaurantee you that you will feel really really bad.  Severe hypothyroidism is not an immediate live threatening disorder but over time it can cause alot of problems.\n\nhttp://www.endocrineweb.com/hypo1.html\n\nAlot of debate about what to use in the replacement of thyroid hormones.  The general idea is that you need to not only replace T4 but also T3.\n\nhttp://thyroid.about.com/cs/t3controversy/a/NEJMT3study.htm\n\nIn my experience, most endocrinologist do not subscribe to the idea of replacing T3.\n\nIn old days, people did use natural replacement of the thyroid hormone.  They took cow's thyroid and made it into a pill.

I was diagnosed with Graves disease when I was 9 and had radiation at 15,  I am now 32 with thyroid supplements I have lived a happy normal life.  It is very important that you get tested every 6 months to a year, your bodies needs for thyroid hormone can change with age and environment.  To my knowledge there is no nutritional cure. Graves disease is when your thyroid puts out to much hormone, I was on meds for 6 years with no result, I hope they work for you.  If you are concerned about the course of treatment your Doctor has suggested you may want to consider getting a second opinion.
