Here are some frequently asked questions about hypothyroidism. If you have questions that aren’t answered here, please contact us and we’ll respond quickly.
 What is hypothyroidism?
 Hypothyroidism is a serious condition caused by an under-active thyroid gland. The thyroid gland, working with the pituitary gland, regulates “basal metabolism” in the body. Metabolism is the breakdown of calories into heat energy. If the thyroid gland is not functioning properly, the entire body suffers.
What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism?
The symptoms of hypothyroidism are varied and many. They develop gradually, and at first, are hardly noticeable. According to the Mayo Clinic, “...as your metabolism continues to slow, you may develop more obvious signs and symptoms, including:
- Increased sensitivity to cold
- Constipation
- Pale, dry skin
- A puffy face
- Hoarse voice
- An elevated blood cholesterol level
- Unexplained weight gain
- Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
- Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints
- Muscle weakness
- Heavier than normal menstrual periods
- Depression”
“A deficiency of Iodine can cause a cascade of metabolic events, resulting in serious endocrine-related imbalances.” Think of a line of dominoes. When one falls down, the others follow. This same thing happens when your thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormone for your needs.
Not all people have all the above symptoms, but as the years pass, the symptoms will likely worsen.
Do many people have hypothyroidism?
Yes, an alarming number of Americans do suffer from hypothyroidism. Look at these statistics:
- In 2005, The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists said nearly one out of every 50 women in the United States is diagnosed with hypothyroidism during pregnancy.
- The Thyroid Society reported that hypothyroidism is 10 times more common in women than men.
- One out of every five women over the age of 75 has Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the most common cause of hypothyroidism.
- In 1998 the Thyroid Federation International reported 1 in 4,000 babies is born with congenital hypothyroidism.
- In 2005 the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists reported six out every 100 miscarriages are associated with thyroid hormone deficiencies during pregnancy.
What are the dangers of hypothyroidism if I don’t treat it?
The symptoms will increase. Because your thyroid doesn’t grow new cells, your health and pleasure in life will steadily decline.
EndocrineWeb.com reports, “Because the body is expecting a certain amount of thyroid hormone the pituitary will make additional thyroid-stimulating-hormone (TSH) in an attempt to entice the thyroid to produce more hormone. This constant bombardment with high levels of TSH may cause the thyroid gland to become enlarged and form a goiter (termed a "compensatory goiter")... Left untreated, the symptoms of hypothyroidism will usually progress. Rarely, complications can result in severe life-threatening depression, heart failure or coma.
How do I find out if I have hypothyroidism?
If you are experiencing at least some of the symptoms listed above, you can ask your medical practioner for a simple blood test to measure the hormone levels in your body. These tests are good, but sometimes not accurate as results are based on a range of numbers that might not apply to you.
In an article in Family Practice News, April 15, 2000, Miriam E. Tucker, reported, “the American Thyroid Association will recommend universal thyroid screening every five years.
Two recent studies suggest that the prevalence of undiagnosed thyroid disease is high and that even subclinical hypothyroidism increases cardiovascular risk.”
If your practioner determines you are deficient in thyroid, he can prescribe a synthetic thyroid replacement drug, or you can use Thyromine, which is a natural product.
Will Thyromine help me lose weight?
Although Thyromine is not a weight loss product, many people do lose weight. If your weight gain is due to under active thyroid, you will probably lose weight as your body comes back into normal balance. Of course you must also eat a healthy diet and exercise every day.
What are the side effects of Thyromine?
There are no side effects known. You should consult with a health practioner before starting any new medication or supplement. Pregnant and lactating women, or women who may become pregnant should always see their licensed health care professional. People who are already taking a prescription for blood thinner, and people who are taking MAO inhibiting drugs should also ask advice from a health care professional.
If I take Thyromine, will my hypothyroidism get better?
You’ll probably be feeling better than you have in years. There is no permanent cure for hypothyroidism, but with the right supporting supplement, your body can function normally again. Thyromine has helped thousands of people worldwide, and it can help you, too.
Just think how marvelous you’ll feel with the energy and enthusiasm of youth!
How long will it take before I feel better?
Different people have different results. Some people see dramatic improvement within two to three weeks. Others experience improvement after a month or so. You are unique and your results will depend on your physical and emotional condition.
