The reason for your search most probably is due to poor health, fatigue , depression, dry skin, insomnia, constipation, feeling cold when others are ok, brain fog, obesity in spite of your best efforts, vague and disturbing menstrual or libido problems and about 46 more.
Some of the lucky ones get diagnosed by the blood test for thyroid. Many wait years to finally turn the test positive. What a relief. Some of my patients have discovered a good book by Mark Starr MD. Hypothyroidism II. This is an easy and yet a complete read about what has been slipping up on you.
A very helpful test is the morning temp test. Use a good thermometer (Geri-derm found at most drug stores) and check your morning temp the first 10 min you are awake. If it is below 97 degrees you have good reason to chase the diagnosis of low thyroid levels. Ladies.. wait till day three of flow to start the temps. It is more accurate.
There is an old chestnut form the past. Learn much from it.
Scholars are aware of the torch of knowledge. I thought I understood it well. Knowledge is bright and can be seen and admired for miles around. It will light your way. But a wise teacher told me "remember that the torch casts a shadow on the person who carries it". More like all that knowledge can obstruct a new truth or new facts.
The Torch Story? To illustrate a point. All the smoke and mirrors around blood testing obscures the fact that the test doesn't tell enough to solve the problems of the hypothyroid patient. You need to know this. Assuming you are the sick one, this knowledge is even more important if you are going to get well.
Sometimes simplicity clouds the helpfulness of a test. The home temperature test is just such an example. It beats the pseudo scientific lab test when you know the tiny edge of the problem that it evaluates.
My previous blogs have demonstrated the great number of hidden thyroid hormone killers. When you do the superficial test, the TSH and get a normal read, the patient is most probably still suffering from low thyroid levels because of these after TSH hurdles that are blocking you from feeling well. Do re-read my previous blogs and check the video presentations.
