What Stood Out in This Conversation
I have had so many issues and so many doctors appointments in my life on top of working in the medical field, I tend to self medicate or am really bad at self not-medicating. BUT, in that time, I have been to my internal medicine doctor to do my regular lab work to test my thyroid. I am sure there are a number of reasons we are not getting even the tiny amounts of iodine we need.
What This Episode Means in Practice
Symptoms of hypothyroidism are: Weight gain or an inability to lose weight despite exercise and diet Cold intolerance – feeling cold all the time when others do not Low energy and stamina Memory lapses or slow thinking (brain fog) Dry, thinning, itchy, scaly skin Dry, brittle or peeling nails Dry, brittle hair or hair loss Irregular bowel habits Menstrual irregularities Inability to conceive Elevated cholesterol Rapid or slow heart rate Muscle or joint aches & pains HYPERthyroidism, also called overactive thyroid, is a condition where your thyroid makes and releases high levels of thyroid hormone. He told me that there are many people who are quickly diagnosed with thyroid disease when their TSH levels are low when in actuality, they have an IODINE deficiency. But I have strangely, never been diagnosed with actual Hashimoto’s, which is autoimmune-related thyroid issues.
