Hyopothyroid & several other Problems. Please HELP.
Dear Dr.'s,I'm hoping someone can help me with the many health problems that I have. I've tried many forms of treatment with little or no success. There aren't much homeopaths in my area so I would greatly welcome anyone could help me.
I'm 28/F, Single. At age 20 was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism: symptoms are weight gain, stretch marks, irregular periods, gaining weight day-by-day, specially if my periods are delayed (wondering if it's cos of the Multiple Follicles shown in both the ovaries, size ranging from 6-10mm), anxiety and worries. Hair fall, Allergies, Sinusitis, CTP(Carpel Tunnel Syndrome)[ was diagnosed with CTP & was given 2doses of Steroid injection to my Right Arms wrist].
Diagnosed with Hypothyroidism in 2001. In the initial days I was prescribed to take Eltroxin(which show a gradual decrease in my weight as well) and later Thyronom on 50mg & am still on the same dosage....). The recent TSH test showed these readings
My Test Levels
TSH = 4.3µIU/L (0.4-5.1µIU/ml)
T3 = 152ng/dl (80-200ng/dl)
T4 = 10.7 µg/dl (4-5-12.5µg/dl)
PROLACTIN = 30.42ng/ml (30.42ng/ml)
My main problem is I have not been able to overcome the following even after the control in TSH levels:
1. Although Im not lazy by nature, am too disciplined, & loves to maintain cleanliness. But this Lethargy keeps me frm doing my work, I get tired easily, Sleepiness, especially in the morning, feel better in the evening & night.
2. My mood swings have become more frequent now, I prefer staying away frm crowed.. I avoid too much loud noise (but I love listening to Music.)
3. I cant stand bright lights specially the Tube lights, if exposed too much I get severe headaches with nausea feeling. However, Sunlight is not much of a trouble.
4. I had a low BP problem (70/110) & by nature Im/ was a calm & quiet person, but from last 1.5 year Ive become Short Tempered, get irritated for simple reasons, & last when I checked my BP it was 90/140.
5. Though I dont eat much oily food stuffs, fast food, eggs, red-meat (I prefer a vegetarian diet, & once in a while consume egg or chicken meat, dont like other meats) still my Cholesterol levels are high: 249 (140-250 normal).
6. Low self-esteem & Low confidence levels. I get depressed very easily, but am strong-willed & resilient so, that overcomes the depression. But the feeling (depression) remains deep down in the heart. Chocolates makes me feel better.
7. Slight physical work causes Breathlessness. And recently discovered this : when I laugh a lot, like the sudden outburst of laughter I suddenly get a feeling tat my body above my hips is going to collapse, get a feeling as if am falling down.
8. Weight problem bothers me very much; can't lose it no matter what I try to do, physical activities (exercise, jogging, walking) & my body feels too weak & get these muscle cramps, most of the time I get swelling in my left ankle.
9. major trust issues with men, especially aftr my breaking up. I hate when they lie.. lie for simple reasons. Im a very straight forward person & so tend to expect people to be the same (I knw that not right)
10. Am a laid-back, Quick-witted, Assertive & Intellectual being. Though am reserved & take time to mingle with people, am still amiable, & get along well with people and have lot of friends. And all my frnds loves me.
11. Though I give a damn if ppl dont like me or talk abt me but it bothers me if my closed ones or friends are upset with me, or lie to me.
12. I am a Perfectionist and take time to finish through the minutest details.
I would be grateful, if somebody could help me with a cure through Homeopathy.
