Hypothyroidism is the disease state caused by insufficient production of thyrohormone by the thyroid gland. There are several distinct causes for chronic hypothyroidism, the most common being Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism following radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism.

Hello everyone. I am wondering if any of you suffer with really bad aches in the morning. Every morning I wake up my back, ribs, shoulders, arms, legs all hurt. I feel like I was run over by a semi. Is this a normal thing for hypothyroidism (I have Hashimoto's)? Any tips on how to lessen the pain? Thanks!
I'm trying to do research on these other medications. I know that other people feel good and their living proof, but WE still need to put up a good fight to try things.
My brother advised me to also say, that this is my body and I'm willing to take that chance.
Um, I'm also debating on ordering the book STTM to read and see if there is a defense in there and take the book to her, you may consider this also. Any literature would have to be from the medical field but I've also considered something from a discussion because PEOPLE are living proof.
I've read so much on how LACK of T3 is responsible for a lot of symptoms. The latest is that we're all going to end up getting dementia if we're not getting T3!!
My Mom didn't have a thyroid and T3 wasn't given to her and she started to get this in her 80s. My dad has no signs of dementia. Just an FYI.
I'm trying to hide that she passed away becuz she (PA) is not going to pin on me as being clinically depressed. I've had brain fog and low concentration way before my Mom passed away.
I don't understand why the doctors feel like our enemy, foe, adversary, opponent!!
I also have a story about a dose increase that a dr was afraid or stupid to increase so her P A increased it and I felt better, more symptoms disappeared, so trying new things can trigger symptoms to disappear.
Ter, I read somewhere that if you have medical information from a reputable website, like webmd, this should be credible info as a self-defense. Oh, and Mary Shomon was mentioned too as being credible.
I wish you a lot of luck at your appointment.
It is written by Dr. Ken Blanchard, an endo....it's called "What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell you about Hypothyroidism"
I got it on Amazon.
