1. Try this link http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/2306876... it has plenty of information on causes and possible solutions. Hope it helps.
2. Substitutive Thyroxin revers the hypotheroidism totally
3. Talk this over with your Dr. ...Each person is different in how to evaluate how they will respond to treatment. Not a doctor but I would suggest talking to someone in this line and go from there.
4. Here is a man who actually cured his hypothyroidism. http://www.ithyroid.com/greetings_from_j...
   Good health to you!
5. It can be corrected with a natural hormonal supplement called plus.
6. yes. take the thyroxine, watch your diet as best you can. eat low fat and high fibre and make sure you eat lots of high energy foods. watch out for constipation and be realistic! this is a nasty autoimmune suppressant illness and has lots of degenerative side effects from memory loss and depression to hair loss and other evil things. but on the plus side...free prescriptions for life!!
   dont be fobbed off by people. its really happening and its not your imagination! honest.
7. You have to discuss with your doctor whats best for you, I take Armor Thyroid and it works for me more than synthroid, that gave me headaches. But talk to an ENT and talk about the best options for your lifestyle.
8. Weight gain and fatigue are normal symptoms of an underactive thyroid. it should begin to regulate with treatment. it must be frustrating, as you are probably too tired to exercise to help reduce your weight. you probably feel the cold alot too. make sure you get on treatment and that they monitor it regularly by blood testing.
9. Do not take the synthetic thyroid pill, called synthroid. It is SO bad for you. Try Armour Thyroid, a natural thyroid that can be prescribed by a physician. I was able to lose weight and feel like myself again after taking a product from the brand Standard Process, called Thytrophin, and Kelp capsules. You can get standard process at a lot of health food stores over the counter without a prescription. I would totally recommend it as it really helped me.
10. Yes, my mum had an underactive thyroid and was treated sucessfully with Thyroxine, you will feel normal again soon after starting to take the meds. The medication is for life.
11. Wow me too... take syntheroid!!
