Help ladies😢

Hi,

I have been on thyroid medicine for many years.  I have not heard of that herb raising your thyroid levels.  It is more likely that you are on too much thyroid medicine.  And being hyperthyroid will make your anxiety worse!  I had the same dose of thyroid medicine for ten years until I became peri-menopausal.  Now I keep having to change my dosage slightly every 6 months or so.

HI Goddess

When you say you feel a nervous wreck, what do you mean? Is it like your hormones or do you feel mentally unstable?

 thyroid imbalances can cause these kinds of feelings and symptoms.

Possibly you could stop the don quai for now and then like the doc says, to retest in 90 days.

You just might be in the throes of perimenopause. And having two things that are all hormone related is really challenging...i know believe me.

Well its good you are here on the website and you will have lots of support.

Hi, omg your not alone! i feel nervous wreck most days also!..its pure hell some days.  I still have days of rest, but theres always some kind of anxiety...An hyper thyroid will make anxiety worse.  so not sure if you want to keep taking the dong quai.  Its hard to get through this naturally. I went on an hrt, but i shouldn't of been for the past year, it upped my estrogen to extreme high, and hence causing me worse anxiety!  My periods are just irregular and should of been on birth control.   too much of anything apparently screws with hormones and makes anxiety much worse.   i am weaning off now, and praying for some relief...I do take chamomile drops for anxiety, it helps a little, but at night when sleep is impossible, i have to take a small dosage of xanax .25...sometimes just 1/2 of that.   but sleep i need, or my anxiety comes on worse.  I am sure your probably the same way. Hugs to you...hope this helps...thank GOD for these messages here, they help me sooo much. 

I can't imagine doing Dong Qai would affect your thyroid. Are you talking about the art form like tai chi? Why and how could that affect your thyroid?
