¡You do it too!

Hello! I'm here because I, like you perhaps are now, suffered from hypothyroidism for several years.

I want to share with you my experience: how I felt, how I was diagnosed, and how I can now say that I am recovered.

It's important for you to know: I was able to control and heal my hypothyroidism because it wasn't congenital.

When people are born with this condition, it is important that they undergo a medical check-up and that they do not abandon their treatment.

Receiving the diagnosis of hypothyroidism is not easy. but even more when you're 23 years old and about to finish university: you like going out, having fun, walking, but you no longer feel like doing it: you fall asleep everywhere, you have constipation problems, and you start to lose your memory.

Yes, you don't even remember to eat anymore. You start to notice that your hair is falling out and you don't know why; in addition, your face swells and you are depressed every day.

1. My diagnosis

When I went to the doctor, he suggested I undergo a thyroid gamma scan, where they discovered that I had multinodular goiter.I didn't know what that was.

Later I found out that goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland; another test I had done was the thyroid profile, in which I tested positive for TT3 and TSH; both hormones were at lower levels. The diagnosis was hypothyroidism.

And, well, I was left speechless; I was going through a difficult situation, and to be honest, at that moment I didn't have anyone to share it with.

People sometimes think that if you're in a bad mood or feel sad it's because you're fickle or you exaggerate things a lot; that's not always the case, our mood is also related to how our thyroid hormones function.

The thyroid controls all the basic functions of our body:

Regulates:

The metabolism
body temperature
the growth
The nervous system.
The assimilation of the different nutrients
The heart rate and the development of the skin.

2. The inquiry

The doctor told me that there wasn't much he could do for me, that I should take my daily iodine pill and resign myself to it. And so began 'my new life'. I didn't know what to eat or what not to eat.

So I had to do my own research into this whole area of nutrition and healthy habits. I really wasn't eating that badly, I used to say, but I discovered that not only is nutrition essential for a healthy thyroid, but our mental health is as well.

I discovered thatMany thyroid cases appear due to lifestyle., whichStress can alter the functioning of the gland..

As you read it, if we are exposed to constantly stressful situations, we can suffer from hypothyroidism. So, I remembered that I had gone through periods of intense stress during my studies, in addition to not getting enough sleep and not eating well. All of this had damaged me.

*It is important that we take into account all these things that doctors may not tell us.

The first thing I thought was "I'm going to gain weight" since that was the only symptom I knew about the disease, but no, I realized there were worse ones, for example, anxiety, insomnia and, of course, constipation.

I tried different options: fiber, natural juices, smoothies, etc., and everything I found to improve my situation, which did not improve overnight, just to be clear.

I began to think that perhaps I would never get better, that I would die like this, because that was what some people on the Internet were saying, that the illness would last forever.

When I had been dealing with the condition for roughly two or three years, I was struck by an anxiety attack accompanied by insomnia, a situation that stemmed mainly from stress, yes, but now at work, which worsened my thyroid.

3. The control and the path toward healing

TI did everything up to the point of going to the psychologist, but with the therapies I only saw a minimal improvement. I had episodes of anxiety mixed with depression and insomnia, this continued until a friend advised me to takevitamin B, and I thought, how can vitamin B help me if I've had these problems for so many years.

Yes indeed, vitamin B, especially B6 and B12, helped me regulate my nervous system, first and foremost.

I hadn't taken the time to research this vitamin, but as I continued taking it I noticed that insomnia wasn't as frequent, that I felt less tired, and that I was more eager to get up to carry out my daily routine.

I also started to exercise regularly and changed my eating habits. Sure, this, without leaving behind my iodine. And that's how it's been for three years now.

They have been performing tests on me to see how my thyroid is doing, and the results have been very encouraging: all the hormones are within their range, which is wonderful for me. I thought I would live with hypothyroidism all the time, I thought I would die from this, and the worst part is that it could get worse along the way.

Not only have the results been good, but I now feel 100% better, in terms of my mood and my body.

I take the medication, but only to a minimum extent, and I am in the process of stopping it, if the doctor advises it.

With vitamin B, which I don't stop taking and which helps me feel quite a bit better, the diet, the exercise and the change in habits, which is essential to making this improvement permanent.

But one very important thing: learning to control stressful situations, which we cannot avoid, but we can channel them.

On the other hand, I want you to know that the change in habits and lifestyle is essential in order to be able to improve.
