@momac59 I take Methimazole 5mg, have bloodwork done at Endocrinologist at least twice a
year of complete thyroid panel and ultrasound about once a year if they feel nodules. I could not tolerate the Synthroid, Armour or Low Dose Naltrexone. The group I go to not only goes
by your numbers but your symptoms as well.

Some people go gluten free and say it really helps them....it didn't help me.

It takes time to get your thyroid regulated. I felt worse before I got better to be honest.

Praying for you. Blessings & Prayers....

*There is a book by Izabella Wentz for Thyroid Protocol and she has other books. She was able to reverse her thyroid issues, but, I found it a little overwhelming with all the supplements, etc. There are some good takeaways from it too though.

Thank you! I’m going to talk to my new Endocrinologist next week about this. I have a multi-nodular goiter that my other doctor has been monitoring for a couple of decades. This new doctor just took me off Armour Thyroid & switched me to Synthroid/ Levothyroxine. But I need a complete panel so hanks for that info!

Methimazole is a medication used to treat hyperthyroidism by reducing the production of thyroid hormones.
Are you hyperthyroid? Normally, people with Hashimoto's are hypothyroid. Is this some new protocol I've never heard of?
