Ty.. why would you want to get off levothyroxine? I was told I'd be taking it for the rest of my life. It's cheap and i know of no side effects. It's the only way your doc can follow your status.
Hello, new to this app, but functional medicine is very helpful in addition to medication in treating Thyroid conditions. Lots of very informative podcasts out there that can help.
@Toonces No I mean a doctor that looks at the whole picture, not just a few lab results. There’s a book called “stop the thyroid madness” it’s really helpful in getting proper treatment for thyroid. Most standard MD’s (at least the ones I’ve been to) have a very limited approach. Most didn’t even recognize I had a thyroid issue, wasn’t even until I saw a functional doctor
A nurse practitioner slowly weened down my thyroid meds then said to stop them! I ended up in hospital for a week in myexedema coma. The endocrinologists said I have literally NO supply in my thyroid gland. Absolutely irresponsible medicine.
