Anyone here successfully managed hypo/hyper thyroid? What did you use? What do integrative medicine docs tend to rx?
My new doc suspects I'm hypo thyroid based on some of my symptoms and tsh score of 2. 5. I realize tsh alone is insufficient to make the dx. I just had blood drawn today for ft3, ft4, reverse ft3, and tg, tpo, antibodies. Results in ~10 days.
It doesn't quite add up for hypo thyroid for me as I've lost, rather than gained weight. Definitely have the fatigue and cold sensitivity.
Hyper symptoms otoh I have are fatigue, anxiety /agitation, rapid pulse, insomnia.
I also feel a tickle in my larynx, hoarseness, and unexplained cough. Could be the babesia or just allergies but I wonder if thyroid could cause this? There are no visible lumps or goiter on my throat.
Thanks.
