AND I have been on thyroid medicine for hypo-thyroid for 10 years now. And I just don't think they get my dose right.
Ummmmm...yeah. Probably not. Check out the stopthethyroidmadness website for some valuable information in this regard. And if your TSH is over 1, and you feel hypo, push them to increase your dose at least. Better still, ask your local compounding pharmacist to direct you to a doctor who prescribes Armour thyroid and knows what they're doing with thyroid patients. And remember that hypothyroidism causes heart failure too.
And 1 out of 20 thyroid patients has full-blown celiac disease, at least 1 out of 5 are significantly gluten sensitive, and 2 out of 3 have gluten antibodies in their stool. celiac dot com has lots of good info on gluten-free diets.
