Depressed bloated and aching joints from hashimotos thyroiditisPosted By Cadolphin (Florida) on 05/31/2015
These last two years have been discouraging for me. I had a complete hysterectomy in Nov 2013; placed on bio-identical hormones; placed on Armour thyroid medication; gained 70lbs and continue to gain; and now recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. I am an athelete, or I should say was because now I have no energy to train as I once did. My body is someone I don't even recognize any longer. I know how to train, eat and now am completely gluten-free. Thyroid med has been changed so many times and now I am on NatureThroid. Hormones have changed so many times. I am bloated, ache in my joints, depressed and have researched and tried everything I know to get better. Please, please tell me there is a way to cure this; a way to lose this weight; a way to have a positive productive life? Thank you.

Re your thyroid condition...
Assuming the symptoms were thyroid related look for the underlying cause. Lot of suspicion on line that Hashimoto's is virally caused. Google "Hashimoto virus caused" and you'll find a PubMed article that speculates this.
I once had an enlarged thyroid and the MD wanted to do a biopsy. Instead I applied colloidal silver with DMSO topically to the thyroid. In a few days the enlargement had diminished and in a week was gone. Back to normal in two weeks as I recall. I put on this application maybe four times. I think the DMSO carried the CS to the thyroid and killed the infection. Also the DMSO is anti inflammatory.
