Hypothyroid disorder
Recently i was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, My Family Doctor put me on Levothyroxin 125mcg once a day. I did some reading about this and the pineal gland and it reactions to iodine's. I have noticed that since i have been taking this Levothyroxin my dream state seems altered to the point I seem paranoid, or worried or waiting for something to happen. Weird i know. What can I do to clean, detox, renew or regenerate my thyroid to work in the correct manner?
Thanks |

Re: Hypothyroid disorder
This happened to me to as far as the problem and the same prescription. I went to my sisters for a month and went through a detox at her healing center because I had worked in a supperfund site which was so toxic.
I went off the drug and did the detox and my IQ went up 15 points. I feel fine now and have normal thyroid blood work now. |

Re: Hypothyroid disorder
Sorry Darren,
Can't help you with the thyroid function itself. Perhaps some of the others can bring something useful. T3 & T4 levels are another kettle of fish. Hypothyroid is associated with Fatigue Weakness Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight Coarse, dry hair Dry, rough pale skin Hair loss Cold intolerance (can't tolerate the cold like those around you) Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches Constipation Depression Irritability Memory loss Abnormal menstrual cycles Decreased libido Hyperthyroidism is associated with Palpitations Heat intolerance Nervousness Insomnia Breathlessness Increased bowel movements Light or absent menstrual periods Fatigue Fast heart rate Trembling hands Weight loss Muscle weakness Warm moist skin Hair loss Staring gaze mood swings It could mean that your synthroid dose needs tweaking. Too much or too little can cause problems. Somewhere there is a sweet spot that will be right for you. |

Re: Hypothyroid disorder
Hey Darren,
When Levothyroxin is given in too high doses you get the symptoms you describe and even worse. It is good to stop for a few days and start again eventually with a lower dose untill you are used to it. Have you consulted your docter about these problems? Furthermore you can try (ear-)acupuncture as an alternative. Results at least as good or better and no side-effects. By using (ear-)acupuncture you stimulate the thyroid-gland directly while with oral medicine you have to absorb it through the small intestine which is an unnatural way and that causes the symptoms.(It's a hormonepreparate you know) Second: Stimulating the thyroid gland by acupunture will restore the natural bodyfunctions while chemical medicines tend to take over the natural functions of the body and will even reduce the function of the gland because it is not needed anymore and by doing so aggravate the problem.

Re: Hypothyroid disorder
not sure about the above post
my son was diagnosed with hypo thyroidism at two weeks old and is currnetly on 150 micro grammes, does display irritability but none of the other symptoms and talks a lot in his sleep ! in fact i would suggest you stick to what your doctor tells you as this is a well researched area. |

Re: Hypothyroid disorder
Hi Darren thanks for coming back to me. I have an underactive thyroid which i know for certain, I have had a goitre in the past had many blood tests which only ever show normal to border line, so I have in the past taken iodine supplements, this was fine for a while as sometimes i took too much which sent it the other way, which made me paranoid and racey for eg paranoia would be about my girlfriend deceiving me it has been very hard to get my thyroid working correctly, i was told by my guides to find the answers on the internet & i was going to post a similar thread to yourself, but you beat me to it, your urge was correct. I have researched this & meditated on this problem & have found that the thyroid does have an effect on the hypothalamus which regulates perception, reasoning & mood from a spiritual point of view & in relation to your dreams, when my thyroid is out of balance which is most of the time I can see lower spirit forms hence why your dreams may change. For me when my reasoning goes out the window it is very distressing. Now heres another twist to this tale & some sychronicity/coincidence for you, I am a healer & I noticed that a person called angellite answered your question about your thyroid just to let you know she mentioned healing & my girlfriend name on ebay is angellite so maybe we are being helped, I hope this helps you, plz keep in contact as I feel through experience I could help you with your imbalances & maybe we can find some conclusions to this problem. many thanks .
