My mum was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in June 2011. During that time, her thyroxine replacement levels have gone up from 50mg to 75mg to 100mg. However, she still doesn't feel back to her old self.
Has anyone had any success with any holistic/alternative therapies?
Your input would be much appreciated.
Thank you, Cate

The point is highlighted in red towards the end of page four on the site. There is a lot to read and digest but worth it to get a better understanding of hypo and adrenal fatigue.
Basically, the more thyroxine given, if adrenal issue isn't addressed, the more stress on the adrenals.
Sadly, lots of other things have to be considered and addressed and it's rare that just taking a tablet and carrying on as before cures hypo - I found this out the hard way
Hope all the other lovely people on here give you lots more advice, there are many well informed people on here and I'm still learning heaps
Jonesey, how did you find out about your adrenal fatigue? Did you have the saliva test? Is the dr able to work with your adrenals while keeping you on the levo? I am also recently on 50 mcg and am waiting for results to the test.
