I am 48 and have had hypothyroidism since 2001 (10 years). My medication has been stabilized for about 9 of the last 10 years. I have lost weight (intentionally), about 7 pounds in about 3 months (was 125 now 118). Thyroid tested about 4 months ago. My hair has never been oily. Used to wash my hair every other day. Now my hair is oily by the end of the first day, if not sooner. Is it possible that my low dose (88 mcg) is now too high? Oily hair is embarassing and frustrating.

There can be sub-clinical hyperthyroidism. I would say you need to see a good endocrinologist. Someone with the in-depth knowledge to figure out what is wrong.

I have so many symptoms of hyperthyroidism yet blood tests do not show anything

-oily hair
shaking hands
red/moist hands
sweating
muscles tired/painful
hair loss

The only strange thing is that i am putting on weight

Any comments? What is the next step?

According to the book “Thyroid Balance” (you should read it, it’s good!) there are foods that contain enzymes called thiocyanates. Those foods prevent the thyroid from absorbing the iodine it needs to produce the thyroid hormones. It doesn’t list what foods contain thiocyanates though.

It also says that some flavanoids in foods can resemble T4 and interfere with its function, which has the same effect. Cruciferous vegetables, soy, and root vegetables like carrots are good for that.

If you’re going to try using food to control it you probably need to get tested fairly often to see how things are going. The book also mentions that going the food route may hasten the transition to hypothyroidism, which will likely happen eventually anyway.

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I had been taking medicine for hypothyroidism for 8 years. Are there foods I can eat to slow down the production of T3 and T4? I cannot use beta blockers, as I am diabetic.

I’m not a doctor so I can’t give you real advice, but educating yourself by getting and reading “Thyroid Balance” by Glenn S Rothfeld would be a good start. My information is summarized from that book.

Based on my reading, Hashimoto’s will typically show elevated rT3 and low T3 and T4. TSH might also be elevated. It often occurs with other auto-immune conditions and Hashimoto’s is itself an auto-immune problem where your body is attacking the thyroid.

The result is that you will be and possibly already are permanently hypothyroid now which means you will need thyroid supplement for the rest of your life. Figuring out the right levels you need to do with a doctor’s help.

Your son might have a thyroid condition and a blood test can possibly point out if that is a problem, a doctor could say more. If it is his thyroid then he sounds like he would be hyperthyroid which can be treated and in the end will also likely require thyroid supplements.

Good luck!

I have just been diagnosed with having high levels of rT3. How should this be treated and by what type of Doctor? I also have Hashimotos, SLE & Coeliac Disease, all autoimmune diseases.
Also I am very concerned about my 20yo
son who has ADHD, but since my Father died has become much worse and has almost changed completely in his thinking. Could this in any way be related to his thyroid? He is tall and
very thin and contantly agitated, argumentative and can,t keep still.
I am extremely worried about him.
I look forward to your reply.
