Getting to the Root Cause of Your Hypothyroidism

It is difficult to find a solution to hypothyroidism and to know how to prevent it without knowing the causes.

It is difficult to find a solution to hypothyroidism and to know how to prevent it without knowing the causes.

The key point to ask your doctor is what are the causes of your hypothyroidism.

Until your doctor finds the root causes of your condition, it will be extremely hard to find a long-term solution to your problem.

You may be wondering why your doctor doesn’t know the causes of your hypothyroidism.

Unfortunately, most doctors don’t spend much time delving into the cause of hypothyroidism. Many doctors only use the TSH blood test to diagnose hypothyroidism.

This test may indicate that you have a problem, but it doesn’t narrow down the question – why?

I know that you would like nothing more than to be able to flip a switch and shut off your symptoms of this condition, but the harsh reality is YOU have to start asking questions and making demands.

Yes, you will need to make demands.

Remember, this is YOUR body and your life and if you want to start feeling normal again, if you want to lose weight, if you want to stop feeling like a zombie all the time, then YOU will have to start doing some research.

Physicians are extremely busy people and they don’t think about you after you leave their office. When your doctor goes home, he or she passes your file over to someone and you’re put back into the filing cabinet until the next visit.

So, the first thing you should know is your numbers.

You will need to have more than just your TSH evaluated. Have a complete thyroid panel performed. Just tell your doctor that’s what you want. If he says it’s not necessary, you’re in the wrong place.

Then you will need to start shopping around for a doctor that treats thyroid disorders.

Take your time finding the right doctor. It is, after all, your health were talking about.

How long does it take for you to find a great pair of skinny jeans? Do you just buy the first pair you find? No, of course not. And isn’t your health a bit more important than a pair of skinny jeans? Take your time and find a good doctor.

After you get a complete thyroid panel, you will know your numbers, which can help you narrow down what’s causing your hypothyroidism.

Possible causes of your hypothyroidism

The following conditions are what cause the most common type of hypothyroidism in the U.S., which is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis:

Gluten intolerance

Insulin surges

GI infections

Excess iodine

Estrogen surges

Heavy metal toxicity

Iodine excess

Vitamin D receptor polymorphism

Combination of all of the above

Here’s the good news…

You can control most of these causes. Of course, you will need some help in identifying and treating the causes to your problem.

Look at the list again and you’ll see that most of these conditions can be taken care of by your diet and lifestyle.

A bad diet can cause gluten intolerance, insulin surges and GI infections, for instance.

Pregnancy and estrogen surges are a bit harder to correct. Start to look at how you can reduce the estrogen in your body.

Estrogen is everywhere, including the makeup you put on your face and the creams you put on your skin. It’s in the food you eat and the water you drink.

You need to know what you’re putting into your body.

Heavy metals can also be reduced by paying close attention to what goes into your body.

If you have too much iodine, stop taking iodine supplements, look for iodine in the medication you may be taking and reduce your consumption.

Most people do not get enough vitamin D, and if you have hypothyroidism, you will need more than the average Joe.

The bottom line is you have to start doing some research and understand what’s going into your body. Your doctor will not do this for you.

There are many causes of hypothyroidism, but you can get a hold on most of these causes by educating yourself about your condition. Education is the best pill you can take.

I’m 16. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid a year ago. No one else in my family has ever delt with thyroid issues. In may my levels became stable. But before I had symptoms I hypo and hyperthyroid. If I skip one day of meds. I get all thrown off. I just recently had an ultrasound done because I’m having trouble swalloing and flem is always stuck in my throat. I’m waiting on results. I have parts on my skin that won’t tan. What do you think?

Cat peed on bed twice: at the end of my patience?

For most her life this cat has repeated urinary tract infections. She is hyperthyroid which she gets medication for.

For most her life this cat has repeated urinary tract infections. She is hyperthyroid which she gets medication for. About 6 months ago her kidney values declined to give her Chronic Rena(kidney)l Failure Diagnosis. I was advised to start her on subcutaneous fluids. We have done so her kidney values returned to nearly normally but she’s been treated 2 more times in past two months for urinary tract infection. She seems to have no problem peeing as I am getting rivers of pee in all sorts of places. My clothing, in my bathtub, on the bathroom floor, in corners and now most recently on my bed last. All bedding was stripped and replaced. She peed on the bed as I lay in it scratched like burying it and took off. I have been manually taking her to her litter box to encourage her to go there. I’ve had good success with training cats to not pee outside the litter box by moving from the litter box from the one pee spot the cat kept returning to and moving the little box to a better place.
Since she is peeing in many places that won’t work this time. This cat is about 7 years old. She is maintaining good weight and except for occasionally vomiting is relatively healthy considering the conditions she has. She is at the bottom of the totem pole in the 6 cat household. She gets attacked often I intervene when I am at home to intervene which is pretty often.
I spend a great deal of money to feed and maintain all my cats especially this one. I am really at the end of my rope though. Ideally I would just confine her when I’m not home but It’s looking like the peeing will go on even in front of me, even if I turn my back for a minute. She has peed on the kitchen floor and on another surface one would want a cat peeing on while we were home.
I don’t thing I am mean to be upset that my cat is peeing on my bed. I am human. I am venting. While she will be going to vet again to have her urine checked again. Her kidney values are normal. I believe this a behavioral issue. I spend $150-$200 every three months for thyroid kidney testing and medicine plus $60.00 a month on organic food. That’s so mean isn’t it?
She have disposition issues as well she growls at people if you move while she’s sitting in your lap. I have trained her to where she generally won’t claw or bite you if you move. She still growls she does not have a normal cat temperment. She can obviouly be loving or there wouldn’t be a discussion. There is a jealously thing between her and another cat. Money isn’t measure of love but I guarantee people who don’t love their pets won’t and don’t spend the the time and money I invest in my cats. I have two others on heart medication plus prenisolone plus asthma meds. I don’t need a pat on the back for anything. I’ve stated she’s going the vet again and not to be put to sleep. My cat hates getting forced to take medicines and getting stuck with needles. Yet I do it because I love her. This is a reoccuring condition. I can lock her away in some part of the house. Not only am I frustrated but I am starting to question when does my insistence upon keeping her alive become cruel.
