All case related information provided....Please Please Help !!!! - Hypothyroidism case...
I am writing to seek your help on my recently diagnosed condition of hypothyroidism.I have been prescribed synthroid 75 mcg but have not started this. Once started can I take Homoepathy ? Will homeopathy cure this disease?
I live in USA and so wanted to consult before starting to take Synthroid.
I have copied some symtopms from a previous post since my symptoms are very similar.
I have been reading the advice and prescriptions that Sameer Vermani has given to other patients with similar conditions on this and would request him or anyone else to please provide some directions to me too.
Please let me know if more info is required.
Please help me. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply and providing the guidelines. I'll try to explain as best as I can-
1. What exactly happens?
as explained above, I have been diagnosed with Hypothyroid. Currently I feel very tired all the times not wanting to do anything, no zeal or enthusiasm, mild depression. My food intake has increased and exercise decreased. I find fault in everything and everyone. Connot focus on my office job, do not feel like going to work, wish I could have my own business and freedom to do and go anywhere I wanted. Do not want to stay in one place or job or project for long. Constantly worry about my health and my family members health and feel frustrated that I cannot do anything about it.
2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
I have dull headaches quite often which starts around 2 pm to around 7-8 pm. Sometimes take painkiller. Surprisingly dont get these headaches when I am on leave or during the weekends. After eating get this fullness feeling in stomach and cramps like something is turning my stomach. recently in the morning I get pains in back and calf of legs.
Also I get bouts of nausea, acid reflux after eating certain foods.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
Stress, lights, noise, shouting and tension.
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
Rest, loose clothes, listening to light music, being alone, crying/self pity, going to stools also helps.
5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
Stress, some types of food, tension, general problems, worry about family and family members health
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
mostly starts at around between 1-3 pm and worst is at around 4-5 pm
7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?
It started last year when a family member fell really sick. She is undergoing treatment but I feel frustrated that I cannot help more or make her btter any faster. I also feel frustrated that the family member is not taking extra steps to help herself heal.
1. The specific foods that you crave (not just like) or hate
Crave for any type of spicy / sour food. After lunch or dinner I crave very much for seats in particular for ice cream after dinner.
2. The specific drinks that you crave or hate
I crave for and can consume watery soup anytime and even if I am full. I dont drink too much of water unless I am really thirsty, instead prefer juice or sometime beer.
3. What your sleep is like
Go to sleep at around 10 and get up at 7 am, sleeping too much and still I feel tired throughout the day.
4. How the weather and the temperature affects you
I do best in moderate weather. Any sudden change (either too hot or too cold)tends to give me headaches
5. What kinds of things in the environment you are particularly sensitive to
too much sun and wind.
6. What your general level of energy is like
It used to be quite high but nowadays I feel lethargic the whole day and just want to come home and sit in front of TV and do nothing.
7. What your level of sexual energy or desire is like
very less these days
Hope this help. Thanks very much for your interest.
