You drag yourself back to the doctor for another Thyroid Rescue 911 Review test. Here's where a Catch-22 rears its ugly head. While the T4 medicine does nothing for your symptoms, it does normalize the blood test. Your TSH will be normal when you take T4 meds. The doctor may fine tune the dose a few times, but in the end, if you keep complaining about feeling terrible, you'll get an order for an antidepressant. Which, of course, won't help.
I can offer but a small ray of hope: Doctors are losing faith in the TSH test. Some medical schools no longer teach it. It's about time, but it doesn't help you today.
Before the advent of the TSH test forty-some years ago, doctors treated thyroid issues by addressing symptoms, the approach that works. Also back in the day, doctors prescribed the bio-identical Armour thyroid instead of the synthetic T4 meds which appeared on the scene along with the TSH test. Armour worked well. Exceedingly well. It still does, if you can get a doctor to order it.
So, here's a suggestion: When your doctor hands you a prescription for an antidepressant, try to bargain for a trial of Armour Thyroid before you try the antidepressant. What do you have to lose besides your misery.The thyroid glands are located in the neck. It secretes certain hormones that regulate your metabolism. The improper functioning of this gland leads to a problem called hypothyroidism. It is also known as under active thyroid. This problem is most common among the women. There are various symptoms of this disease like fatigue, low energy, constipation, muscle weakness and unexplained weight gain.
