there are many different reasons why someone's thyroid would shut down on them.  usually its due to old age.  i personally know someone who was diagnosed w/ hypothyroid, and had to take thyroid replacement medication.  after awhile, the thyroid medication may increase too much thyroid hormone, and will cause u to become hyperthyroid.  so its good to have regular check ups on ur thyroid replacement thereapy.  and to answer ur question, sadly to say u will be on medication for the rest of ur life.  but dont feel too bad, this is a very common problem that many of us have to face in the golden years of life.

Here is the number one source you will need while learning what to do with your illness.\n\nI was hyper, had Graves. Had it removed at 12, it grew back at 35 and had it removed again due to Hashimotos Thyroiditis and now I have nodules in a growing thyroid. Doc says I am very rare. Thyroids can regenerate and mine has several times! Please think long and hard about how to handle your situation and make sure you have a great Endo Dr. Also, have your IgG levels tested to see if you have an immune disorder as they are common among us Thyroid ill people.\n\nGood luck...stay strong and don't fret.\n\nOh...about forgot...your slow metabolisim will thank you if you eat like you are diabetic. The second link is for diets relating to diabetes. Also, stay away from soy products as it interferes with your thyroxin production. And lastly, drink lots of water to help flush your system.

I feel bad for you because I used to have it soo bad.\nI found out I had low thyroid and hypothyroidism and when I started taking thyroid pills it slowly went away. But it was pure he11.\nYou need to get your thyroid checked soon by a doctor with a blood test.\n\nThis is very imporatan: Keep aj ournal that only YOU see.\nWrite how you are feeling in it every day. You just can't believe how it ehlps to get your feelings out instead of keeping them inside.\n\nGet a bottle of super strong B vitamins from the health store and take one every day. It does help if you take one EVERY day.\nGet some exercise EVERY day. Just take a walk for 20 minutes, more if you can. It gets your endorphins, natural brain chemicals that make you feel good, flowing in your brain and this makes you feel good. \n\nIf you are in love with a jerk, forget him and never see him again. That is very important.\nI feel for you.\nAlso, I prayed for several years, like twice a week, and even had an entire church that prays for epople who are sick pray for me. It was right after that that I found out I had an underactive thyroid and started to get better, so I am living proof that PRAYER DOES WORK!\nSo pray to God and don't stop and get a group of people to pray for you if possible because that REALLY WORKS.

i can't answer your question, because I don't know what you're referring to. However, i have given several links below to read & perhaps you can find out what you're seeking. if not, at least there's a bit of information for you to read through & understand the thyroid problems.\nhere is some information about myself, plus some symptoms in case anyone coming upon your question may be interested;\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!!

My sister recovered completely from graves disease.  It took a couple of years, but she is perfectly fine (and she still has her thyroid!)

Yes, I have had this problem. In fact, in my late 20s, my period stopped altogether. For a few YEARS I had no menstruation at all. The gynecologist referred me to an endocrinologist. That's when I found out I had a low thyroid. In fact, it was VERY low- almost non-existant. The doc put me on thyroid medication, and before I knew it, I was back to normal, again. \n\nOther side effects to hypothyroidism would include: \nhair loss \nsome growth of hair in irregular places for a female\nsleepiness\nsluggishness\ndeeper voice\nirregular or no periods\n\nIf you have ANY of these symptoms, you may need to see a doctor FAST!

Fatigue\nWeakness\nWeight gain or increased difficulty losing weight\nCoarse, dry hair \nDry, rough pale skin\nHair loss \nCold intolerance (can't tolerate the cold like those around you)\nMuscle cramps and frequent muscle aches\nConstipation\nDepression\nIrritability\nMemory loss\nAbnormal menstrual cycles\nDecreased libido\n\n They main purpose of the thyroid is to regulate your metabolism. In essence, if you have hypothyroidism, then in the most basic terms, your whole body slows down. Hence, the symptoms I have given you above. Now, there is a relation to hypothyroidism and depression. Both need to be diagnosed by a MD. And both can be treated with medication.

I also have thyroid problems. It takes months to get the prescription right. \n\nMaybe he should see a specialist. An Endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in thyroid problems

I had similar results when my hypothyrodism started. Try to check with a endocrinologist - they are a lot more qualified than familty practice doctors to analyze the results. Good luck

Just wanted to say that thyroid issues are not caused by a salt deficiency or any such absurdity, as suggested by a previous answer-giver.\n\nIn third-world countries, hypothyroidism is often caused by iodine deficiency, but this is very rare in Western countries because of our prolific use of iodized salt.  In those countries, upping your kelp (or other iodine-rich plant) intake might help, but if you're not suffering from an iodine deficiency, adding more iodine won't help.  \n\nMost likely, even homeopathic treatments for hypothyroidism in the Western world will consist of some form of animal-product or synthetically produced levothyroxine (otherwise known as T4), triiodothyronine (T3), or both in some combination.\n\nUntreated hypothyroidism is quite dangerous, and the standard medical treatment for it is relatively inexpensive.  In my opinion, you are taking your life (and certainly your health) in your hands if you try to treat yourself.  See a licensed medical professional (homeopath or otherwise) to help you decide on a course of treatment.\n\nIf your question pertains to HYPERthyroidism, your homeopath or doctor may suggest one or more of the following plants: Calcare phos, Calcarea carb, Lapis alb, Iodium, Thyroidinum, Spongia, and Lycopus.  However, only a healthcare professional can tell you what to do about thyroid issues.  Don't treat yourself.  It's dangerous.

If you are symptomatic, take the thyroid supplement.  If you aren't, don't.  Simple.\n\nCan't tell if you are symptomatic?  Take the supplements for a month and see how you feel afterwards.\n\nDon't bother with alternative crap.  Synthroid is safe, effective, and probably cheaper in the long run.

once your thyroid hormons are back to their normal levels u'll gain the weight you lost. Most of the time treatment for hyperthytoidism leaves you in hypothyroidism, so u'll eventually gain more weight that u even lost! but dont worry, once ur TSH is in normal levels u'll be ok

It sounds like you have hypothyroidism (your body doesn't produce enough T4). Thyronorm is a replacement for T4.  That is probably why your T3 is low and TSH is high but T4 is mostly normal.  It sounds to me, based on this information, like you need to increase your Thyronorm dose.  Discuss it with your doctor and see if he agrees before you make any medication changes.

Even though you've been taking medication for your hypothyroidism, you're still experiencing symptoms, which means that most likely, your dose is not high enough.  Hypothyroidism is not an all or nothing kind of thing.  It often takes quite a while to figure out what the proper dose for your body is, so even if you're taking medication, it may not be a high enough amount of the medication.\n\nYou are still experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism.  The exhaustion sounds consistent with hypothyroidism still and is probably not indicative of an overdose.  Overdose leads to the kind of exhaustion where you feel like you've been working out all day and your heart is pounding and you're restless and can't sleep.  Underdose (if you're not taking enough medication) leads to the kind of exhaustion where you just can't seem to get out of bed in the morning, which sounds like what you're describing.  \n\nAre you having other symptoms?  Other symptoms of underdose/hypothyroidism include mental fog, hair loss, weight gain, depression, feeling cold all the time, dry skin, brittle nails, and hoarseness, just to name a few.  Not all people react the same way, so you may have all of the symptoms listed above or none of them.\n\nAlso, depression is often related to and caused by hypothyroidism.  I was taking two separate depression medications before I received my thyroid diagnosis, but now that I am properly medicated thyroid-wise, I do just fine without taking depression meds!  Now, that's not the case for everybody, and it's certainly possible that your depression and hypothyroidism are separate conditions.  However, it's equally likely that the hypothyroidism is the actual cause of your depression, in which case it's even more important to treat the thyroid disorder with the appropriate dose.\n\nI would strongly suggest that your doctor needs to more closely monitor your blood levels (TSH and T4 at the very least) until you are no longer experiencing symptoms.\n\nAlso, I'd strongly suggest that using caffeine is not going to help you.  It might help in the short term, but in the end, it will backfire because you will actually start to need the caffeine to function.  Caffeine abuse is actually one of the best ways I know to make yourself tired.\n\nSo here's what I'd suggest to you:\n\n1. Request a blood test (TSH and T4 ideally) from your doctor to make sure your thyroid dose (Synthroid/Levoxyl/Eltroxin/Armour/whatever) is appropriate.  If your TSH is below .3, you are probably overdosed.  If it is above 3.0, you are underdosed.  Laboratory ranges often say that TSH can still be normal all the way up to 5.0 or so, but the American Associaton of Clinical Endocrinologists disagrees, and they are the professionals.  The normal range for TSH is .3-3.0 according to the AACE.  Also, if your T4 is below the normal range of the test, that suggests that upping your dose may be appropriate even if your TSH is in the normal range.\n\n2. If you use caffeine, stop.  The rebound effects of it actually make you more tired.
