Thyroid Question?
I had my TSH checked three months ago, it was slightly elevated at 3.13. My doc wanted me to wait til October and check it for any changes. I am confused with my symptoms because most of my symptoms correlate with hyperthyroid but and elevated TSH means hypothyroid. If anyone out there has any personal experience with thyroid conditions and can help me explain why I have mixed symptoms please feel free to post. Any questions I will update with answers. Thank you!
My most present symptoms are I feel something in my throat all the time that I can’t swallow down. Because of that when I have my rapid heart rate I feel like I can’t breath and have anxiety attacks where I feel like I am going to throw up and am dizzy. I have family history. My period is all messed up, barely get it (not a bad side effect.) Insomnia, and horrible headaches on the left lower back side of my head ( low and behold that is where the hypothalumus is) I think that is about it. They always ask about my weight but I haven’t noticed that.

A good colon cleanse?
I would like to do a "quick colon cleanse". I’ve seen these products in health food stores, the
ones that you can do in one day. I was wondering if anyone has tried these or might have
helpful info on this matter. I am in good health, just want to this for wellness.
Thanks !
Acid reflux and proton pump inhibitors: is there a natural remedy I could get for acid reflux?
I don’t have insurence to pay for the Proton Pum Inhibitor (Protonix) I need. I have bad pain in my esophagus at night without it.
Yes I know all about how I could get cancer in my esophagus.
I just wondered if there was a treatment I could get a the health supplement store for acid reflux.
What are the laws concerning natural health / holistic treatments?
I’m thinking about attending Clayton College of Natural Health. I’m curious if anyone knows of any licensing restrictions or legalities in Missouri for holisitc / natural health counselors? I’m told that you can open a practice as long as you don’t claim to treat, prevent, cure or diagnose illness, which basically means you could counsel people and work with nutrition, lifestyles and general wellness. Anyone know?
Natural remedies for 4 month old baby with flu?
NO not my baby. The parents have no $. I will tell them to take the baby to Emergency room but I also want to give them home remedies so they can help fight the flu while they are at home too.
Are my cholesterol levels ok?
Just had my yearly physical. My bad cholesterol was 117 and good cholesterol was 35. My doctor sent my results to me in a letter and she didn’t want to see me again, so I guess everything is good, all my other results were normal. When I read online about cholesterol levels, my bad cholesterol is in the healthy range, but I read that the good cholesterol should be 60+????? Is that right? If so, how do I raise it?
i need a easy and effective colon cleanser ?!?
Thyroid problems maybe?
I am 25 years old. I am a female. I have 3 children ages 3y, 5y, 9m. Anyway, My question is could I have something wrong with my thyroid? I am tired all the time. I feel like I am living in a fog. My hands and feet are cold all the time. Sometimes they even have a blueish tint to them. I have problems gaining weight. I am 5’4 and weigh 91 lbs. I have been to the doctor. All he says is after having 3 children all day you probably are tired. And most women would love to have your figure after having 3 children. I just feel like I am losing my mind. Along with my hair… Any thoughts??? anyone?
