I'm going to see if I can get Dr. Theo Friedman to come on here and read all of these amazing posts! He is a leading expert in thyroid disease. I don't know anybody who has done more research on all kinds of thyroid disorders than Dr. Friedman. Here is a link to some of his articles and videos that he's done for us on the thyroid:
It's amazing the different approaches that one can take with his or her thyroid. I find Kristin Mills' response to be most fascinating, particularly all of the symptoms of iodine deficiency. And it's so interesting that you can actually check yourself to see if you are iodine deficient.
I'm also looking at Maria8's post and her follow up post about how her blood sugar is normal...as a good friend of mine found out, just because a fasting blood work result is normal (is that the test that you had?), it does not necessarily mean that a 2-hour glucose test will be normal. You might want to follow up with your physician to have this done to hopefully rule out blood sugar issues. Also, have you had your T3, T4, and TSH test done? It's important to have all 3 of these tests done. I have written several blogs about my own experience with thyroid issues that are on this site as well. Thank you to everyone who has read and posted on this topic! Best in health, Michelle
