Left in the dark - Suspected hypothyroidism
Posted , 4 users are following.
I had a child three years ago. Two weeks before my 40th - and last October I had a hysterectomy (Apart from my ovaries) I have never felt right after having my child and after my op my life has now become hellish. I started to complain to the doctors three years ago about aching joint and sore knees (was ignore) and feeling very tired all the time. Then after my Op (about five months) I ended up in A&E after a yoga class with swollen legs and in excruciating pain. Now the doctors started to listen - I am under a rheumatologist and have been tested for a lot of things apart from my THC, T4 & T3 levels. I really think I have hypothyroidism but they wont listen to me. These are my main symptoms I am interested to hear from people that do have this and what I can do to get tested. Chronic Fatigue, Insomnia, Sever constipation, depression, ridged nails, change in hair, muscle weakness, painful muscles and joints, confusion, memory loss, no libido, swollen gland in throat (but no obvious lump), weight gain (about a stone and half, cant shift), sluggish and brain fog, Silent migraines, (never had one before the birth of my son), random pains and twitches, muscle spasms, tingling in my arms, hands, wrists, ........... Does this sound likely to be hypothyroidism? And if so what can I do about it? It’s ruining my life

I'm trying to address deficiencies deb. after giving birth our bodies are so depleted. Look into all the naturally sourced supplements you can get your hands on. Merck do a wholefood multi vit...important for it not to be synthetic. Vit d. co q 10.
but seriously i would suggest seeing a naturopath and addresssing on a one-to-one basis all of your deficiencies. You will be amazed by the benefit of this personal attention, the high level of care and knowledge, way exceeding our dear medics, who are just not trained in nutrition....but who can help with the lab tests and who need to ne kept on side..... try a liver detox and get all the junk out of your life toxin wise that you can.
loads of love thinking of you and keep us informed....that lab result was super pronto !!!!!!!
