I came out negative for thyroid; my depression seems to be not nearly as bad as it was. I still have my moods... But I have entered peri-menopause and all that comes with THAT. Hope you get to feeling better soon!!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566913627760577464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554390.post-23313636208936964112009-04-26T18:12:00.000-07:002009-04-26T18:12:00.000-07:00how do you feel now Amanda?how do you feel now Amanda?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554390.post-45930609731937681902009-04-25T05:10:00.000-07:002009-04-25T05:10:00.000-07:00I'm glad you are feeling better - at least seeing ...I'm glad you are feeling better - at least seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!!<br /><br />I was thinking the other day...

I am so thankful that my hubby jumps in when I crash and burn. So far the medical world has no idea why my body doesn't want to work the way most of the world does. So more magnesium and more potassium for me. Hope your journey has more resolution than mine.

From what I've read online, there are a few different meds to take to stimulate the thyroid until it either recovers, or doesn't. Dosage should be low because I'm not having extreme symptoms. There are no alternatives that I know of, but the doctor did say we'd discuss nutrition.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729511504280715449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554390.post-22773238329232102812009-04-22T16:13:00.000-07:002009-04-22T16:13:00.000-07:00So, tell us what is the standard treatment for hyp...So, tell us what is the standard treatment for hypothyroidism.
