It did not seem like a big deal at first. My body was not working in the way I was used to. At first I said it must be a part of the aging process. But it was hard not to believe that something else might be wrong.
I did some research on the computer and went to a medical website that allowed me to put in the symptoms that I had including recent weight loss, sluggishness, fatigue, I was anxious and irritable, my hands ached and my skin was dry and the website told me that these were the symptoms of low thyroid condition and it also explained why I was feeling more depressed about things I did not understand. An under active thyroid means that for some reason or another a person is not producing enough chemicals from the thyroid to allow the body to function in the proper way. When the gland is making extra hormones a person will struggle with a thyroid condition as well.
In order to resolve the problems I faced I was required to face the problem. I could not hope it would disappear over time. The good news is that it is treatable, and the bad news is that it does not go away so it would be something that I would be dealing with for a long time and it was not a simple solution of taking a few low thyroid diet pills but would require me to make some changes in my lifestyle to compensate for the problems that an under active thyroid cause on a person’s body, but the lifestyle changes were doable and I decided to find out exactly what I would need to do.
I made an appointment to see my physician. The doctor took my history and was also concerned that I might have an under active thyroid. The only way to know for sure was through a blood test. I had the blood work done and the results were given to my doctor in a relatively short time. The tests confirmed the suspicions that I had. I had hypothyroidism. After the confirmation came the discussion of what to do about it.
My doctor put me on some prescription medicine. When you use drugs to treat it you have to take the time to find the one that works for you and how much of it to take. It would be a case of adjusting it until you find what works. I was assured that we would eventually find the right dosage for me. But taking medicine was not enough for me. I had already learned that some people were able to take care of their condition through the use of other alternative therapies. I decided that I could get additional information to help me.
My research turned up many interesting things. There were certain foods that I could add to my diet that would help my thyroid. Along with eating things that made me feel better, I learned not to eat certain things. Although I was eating to help the thyroidism, I was helping other things within myself at the same time. Physical activity is another thing that can allow you to treat thyroidism. Again this helped my overall health. There is also a need for a person to reduce their stress level if they are dealing with thyroidism. Stress can affect your thyroid among other parts of the body.
When I began my healthier regimen I started a diary. The use of this allowed my doctor to make adjustments to my medicine a lot faster. The changes became something I enjoyed rather than something I had to do. In the end, I was healthier than when I started.
