Hypothyroidism

[Jw1]

My friend used to be 8 stone all her life she's never been over 8 stone,since she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism she's piled on the weight,, she's now apx 14 stone,, she's loosing her hair,eye brows have fallen out completely,,she is so depressed,she is constantly in pain it hurts me seeing her in such pain,I don't know what to do or say to cheer her up or offer any advice on her health condition,,might anyone have any advice which might help her or advice for me on how to cope with someone you love with hypothyroidism

These are what I ordered

The Thyroid T3 one contains Soy which blocks the uptake of thyroxine the L-tyrosine might also have an effect in affecting test results which could mean your friend doesn't get the right medication dosage if she takes it.

The other one - Western world diets generally don't have a deficiency in iodine and again it contains L-tyrosine. eBay shoud allow you to cancel those orders for now.

As the PP said I'd leave the suppliments until she is properly treated with the thyroxine. In terms of vitamins zinc and selenium and B vits are useful for hypothyroidism the skin hair and nail multi vitamins contain those and something it might be worth discussing with the GP before she starts taking them same with any suppliment.
