Thyroid RELATED NEWS IN JULY 2006
Doctors Who Recognize Natural Treatments For Health Disorders
In late 2002, I made a Doctor appointment because of worsening symptoms of fatigue, joint pain, anxiety alternating with depressive symptoms, dry skin, constipation, slow heart rate, spells of low blood pressure etc…
Autoimmune Thyroid Disease, A Medical Cause Of Anxiety Symptoms
For the majority of anxiety sufferers, their disorder does not have a medical cause but is simply anxiety but for a relatively significant percent of anxiety sufferers, their symptoms have a medical root-cause. In this article, I will address one of the more common medical causes of anxiety symptoms, “Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders“.
Thyroid Supplements Vs Hormone Replacement
Recently, a lady e-mailed me, asking about certain over-the-counter supplements, that are advertised to help optimize a person’s thyroid function. She was struggling, as many of us did, with the idea of having to take a lifelong thyroid hormone replacement treatment and so was looking at the possibility of other options for treating her hypothyroidism. In this article, I am including my response to her on this subject, following the heading “response".

Hashimoto’s Disease and Joint/Muscle Pain
Over the past three years, I have corresponded with many thyroid patients with Hashimoto’s Disease, the autoimmune type hypothyroidism. Patients with the disease complain of many symptoms they experience with this disease that are caused by antibodies attacking the thyroid gland, causing it to hypo-function but one of the more common ones I hear repeated by patients, is mild to moderate “joint and muscle pain”.
I have suffered several disorders/diseases during my lifetime, the most recent and the one most profoundly affecting me, being Hashimoto's Disease/Hypothyroidism.
The Role of Antibodies in Causing Symptoms in Hypothyroid Patients
I have corresponded with many fellow autoimmune hypothyroid patients over the past four years and have read the testimonies of hundreds of others, in articles and on forums and message boards. What I hear from these patients, is something I have found to be true in my own case as an autoimmune hypothyroid patient (Hashimoto’s Disease) and that is the fact that we can continue to experience mild to moderate symptoms, even while on optimal “thyroid hormone replacement medication” treatment.
Anxiety and Depression Symptoms in Thyroid Disease
In the year 2002, when my husband Jim (I call him by his middle name, "Mark") was experiencing the onset of hypothyroidism from Hashimoto's Disease, some of the more concerning symptoms he had were the emotional ones.
