Hypothyroidism

The thyroid is such a small organ.  When things start to go wrong with this small organ, however, things can REALLY go wrong in one's life.  Who knew that it was so important?  Many times diseases and conditions like chronic fatigue, painful menses, headaches, depression and obesity could be as simple as a problem with the thyroid.  Because many of these conditions are often diagnosed as the problem itself (for example depression is diagnosed as depression and not a symptom of hypothyroid), hypothyroid conditions are often misdiagnosed.  To make things worse, fluoride is the WORST thing to take for hypothyroidism and there is plenty fluoride in many antidepressants.

I posted this video to give more information on hypothyroidism.  If you want to get tested, don't just get tested for TSH; talk to your doctor about getting a more complete test (for example test the T3, reverse T3, T4 and auto immune factors).  This will give you a better idea of what exactly is going on and what your doctor can do to guide you back to health.
