Hello doctor,I recently had a complete thyroidectomy, and the lymph nodes around the thyroid removed because I was diagnosed with medullary carcinoma of the left nodule of my thyroid. I am now on Levothyroxine 135 mg, and it is driving me nuts. I have experiencing nervousness, anxiety, no sleep, strange thoughts, etc., for two weeks. I had like five hours of sleep.I am going insane, and I feel like I am going to have a heart attack. Can a naturopathic doctor assist with this problem and take me off of Levothyroxine and balance my thyroid hormone levels using natural medicine with no side effects?
Hello. I read your query. You need to take Levothyroxine for the rest of your life regularly because our body daily needs this hormone for various functions like metabolism etc. However, along with that you can use some herbal products which can help you up to some extent and your dose of Levothyroxine may decrease and you will also feel relieved from other symptoms. 1. Take capsule Giloy two capsules two times a day with water after food for one month. 2. Take tablet Kanchanar Guggulu one tablet two times a day with water after food for one month. 3. Walk daily at least for 30 to 60 minutes. Consult a nearby Ayurveda physician or me after one month regarding improvement and for further management.
