Thyroid Dysfunction

THYROID DYSFUNCTION

Do you suffer from ME, Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia?  If you have been given this diagnosis it may be that your thyroid is actually involved.  It is estimated that 1 in 3 women (more common in women than men) suffer from a thyroid problem.
From my work with a Doctor who has specialised in treating thyroid problems naturally, it has become clear to me that this is an area where homoeopathy can be extremely effective along with supplements and adrenal support.   Even if a routine blood test for thyroid function returns a normal reading but you still have excessive tiredness, weight gain, aching limbs, mental fuzziness and mild depression, it is certainly worth considering a problem with your thyroid.

 

A blood test only gives a snapshot of that moment in time.  A more reliable test is a 24 hour urine collection which is not available on the NHS.  However, there are other non-intrusive tests I use to determine the health of your thyroid some of which can be carried out by yourself.  Having established a problem or symptoms which may be precursors to a thyroid problem, we can together work with homoeopathy and other aids to help it stabilise.
If you have been diagnosed with a hyper or hypo thyroid problem and are on Thyroxine, this regime can still be effective.  Throxine can help many people but usually after an initial period of stabilisation, the symptoms return.  On reporting these symptoms again, a patient is often informed that nothing more can be done and, is either offered anti-depressants or more radical treatment which again does not solve the problem.
