my mum just diagnosed with thyroid (hyper). I am very worried.

1) How can I be more sensitive towards her?
2) is her being a vegetarian part of the cause of this thyroid?
3) should she take up western medication or chinese medication?
4) is there any good medical medicine that u'll recommend?
5) what kind of food should she avoid?
6) what kind of food she should take?

I will appreciate if any nurse/doctor or any experience reader will actually advise this unfilial daughter of hers.

thanks a million

Hyperthyroidism means that her thyroid works too much.

Levothyroxine does NOT destroy the thyroid. It is a synthetic hormone replacement. I have taken it for 19 years to manange my underactive (hypo) thyroid.

Chances are your mother's thyroid will be destroyed by radiation therapy/or removed by surgery and then she will be put on a synthetic hormone replacement.

There are some theories that diets high in soy can cause thyroid problems and there are goiterogenic foods such as kelp that should be avoided.

She will experience some emotional ups and downs as her body regulates and changes. Remember that what she is going through is not her fault and just try to be as supportive as you can.

Thyroid disorders are amongst the easiest to diagnose and treat so do not be overly alarmed. Being a vegetarian has nothing to do with it. Western medication works for this while Chinese medicine works for some things but not the thyroid. The treatment is usually to destroy the thyroid gland using levothyroxine to restore thyroid function. Foods do not play a role. Again - this is an easily diagnosed and treated disorder in nearly all cases.
