Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/JcqX2

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.

Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.

Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.

Answer 4

I agree with the girl who told you about the specialized test for hypothyroid....There are 12 thyroid hormones and the standard test tests for one. But be careful, the special test usually isn't covered by insurance (go figure). Also, I found out the hard way, a few years back, that birth control pills can mask the positive thyroid result in the standard test. Unfortunately, all we can do is keep pursuing it with different doctors. Your symptoms are right on with Hypothyroidism, so keep plugging away! Good Luck.

Answer 5

I can sympathize with you. About 3 years ago I started to want to do nothing but lay around and sleep. I finally went to my new doctor and told her she had to find out what the problem was. She asked me if I had ever had depression. I told her yes before they diagnosed my thyroid problem 20+ years before. She put me on prozac and all that did was make my head pound. Then the TSH levels came back as being way too high. What did your doctor say when she told you"the thyroid test were negative". That's ridiculous. Your tsh levels need to be from .3 to 3.0. Anything else is going to make you hypothyroid. I have to be at .3 or less. The doctor needs to explain all the test to you in more depth. You have a right to know and I'd also ask for the name of a endocrinologist. These problems can effect you whole life. After awhile you will be extremely depressed. Make that doctor give you all the details. Telling you it was negative is ludicrous.

Hope you find out what's going on.

Answer 6

Treatments for thyroid disorders stemming from the over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones rely mainly on medicines and surgery.

Treating hyperthyroidism involves suppressing the manufacture of thyroid hormone, while hypothyroidism calls for hormone replacement. Conventional medicine offers extremely effective techniques for lowering, eliminating or supplementing hormone production. Before deciding which treatment is best for you, your doctor will make an evaluation based on your particular thyroid condition as well as your age, general health and medical history.

My friend treated the disease by using natural ways through a e book which provide healthy diet and suitable exercise so you can refer to here for more information: http://adola.net/go/hypothyroidismrevolution/

Answer 7

I'm hypothyroid. I had to be tested over and over, and nothing showed until I got fed up and went to a different doctor who did a T3 and T4 uptake, there is a different test to measure, there's a standard one then a specialiazed one, he did the special one and it showed that my function was too low. He also said that even the normal levels on normal tests can not be normal for a person's individual body as well. You might need to see a rheumatologist to get a better opinion and test.

Answer 8

You should get another blood test. One blood test is often not enough for reliable results...

And you should get checked for sex hormones as well (estraidol, progesterone, LH, FSH, androgens). Weight gain might originate from water retention if you're eating OK, as well as the loss of energy... PCOS (PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome) is also a condition in which you have unexplained weight gain, excess hair growth and possibly new acne.

Being cold as well as feeling weak might also suggest a circulation problem - get your blood pressure checked, before and after exercise as well to test your fitness. Some circulation problems also cause water retention which leads to weight gain.

I assume you are female(?), but it would help to know how old you are.... You could have a great number of things with these symptoms, ranging from "normal" to "serious" - please go back to your doctor and tell him to look at you again! It is your body and your health, it's your doctor's duty to take care of it. Good luck!!

Answer 9

Have yourself checked again and again and again. There are many possiblities for the symptoms you decribed and all should be checked. Some possibilities are pregnancy, lupus, hormone imbalance, mononucleousis, etc.

Answer 10

you could be anaemic
