Supplements round out any health regimen. I've worked closely with my doctor to configure the correct combination of supplements my body needs. My mother's body needs some of the same supplements but perhaps a different dosage not to mention a few different ones. No two bodies are alike. I strongly suggest that you work with your medical practitioner to create a formula that works for you. Today's topic is ThyroCare and it's rather important to me.
ThyroCare proves its value time and time again. Just like with teaching, if you can give students a life experience, they remember the lesson better than anything they read. You can read about ThyroCare or you can use it and see the difference. In fact, when you stop taking it and return to it, you also see a difference.
For me, ThyroCare takes care of my temperature issues, swelling thyroid, joint pain, and muscle stiffness. Back during Christmas break, I was so cold I couldn't function the first 5 hours of the day. I stayed wrapped up and just couldn't get warm. Hot baths helped, but it was just miserable and debilitating. I can't recall what had me re-reading about ThyroCare. Doc had given me that supplement (sold in his office) because in November I had called him complaining about a swollen thyroid gland. It was making swallowing painful and difficult, limiting what I could eat. Plus, I talk for a living as a teacher, so that was becoming an issue. He suggested I take it for two weeks and it cleared up the swollen thyroid.
Turns out, it helps with temperature issues, which I've always suffered from. When everyone else in the family is bare-foot, wearing shorts and tanks, I'm in fleece pajamas, socks and/or slippers, and a sweater. I not longer look like an Eskimo in South Texas thanks to ThyroCare.
Those times where I've tinkered with my diet and find out another food allergen, like peanuts, ThyroCare is the only way my body can heal itself. It helps reduce the swelling and shortens the time-span in which I suffer (we're talking weeks shrunk to hours/days) from whatever reaction my body has to those allergens.
The biggest reason why I take my ThyroCare diligently is my pain and muscle stiffness. That alone was debilitating and I knew I was a good candidate for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, but I also knew from my research that a good amount of doctors don't even consider those to be real conditions because the only symptom you have is pain (fibromyalgia) and severe, debilitating fatigue (CFS). Most doctors like test results to prove a diagnosis (probably prevents malpractice suits).
I'm a teacher, right, and by 10am each morning in my classroom, the pain in my legs, hips, and joints were so bad. I'd try to find ways to be actively around students and not sit to at least alleviate some of the pain. I tried different shoes and many tactics (I do yoga!), but nothing alleviated the severe pain. I succumbed to a stool with an overhead. My husband didn't even believe my pain, truth be told. What other symptoms are there to prove otherwise? There's NO lab work, no MRI or X-ray or other test that can be run to verify pain like that. That didn't stop the pain from cameoing in my life on a daily basis and ruining activities and daily life. Sitting in a car for one hour to any nearby city, and I'd climb out of the vehicle bent over like a 90 year old with osteoporosis because my hips were so tight and my muscles would just not move. I was 34 at the time. That's not normal.
Over time, I learned how wheat affects our joints and inflames them, so that most certainly helps, but ThyroCare makes my pain obsolete. My body needs the ThyroCare and reminds me if I haven't taken my 2-pill dose in over 24 hours because the pain and stiffness come back in full force. My knees will hurt horribly while sitting in the movie theater when I've forgotten it and I can't stretch them out without leaving.
My husband won us a trip to Vegas this summer and we were walking with intentions of hitting up Madame Tussaud's and I didn't get far outside the hotel and the sidewalk when I was, "Oh, I hurt so much....oh my goodness, did I take my ThyroCare?" My husband gave me that thinking look as he recalls our actions and he said he didn't think so. We had gotten in the night before and we forget things when we travel. So, we turned right back around and back up the elevator to our room so I could take that supplement. Walking to Tussaud's was much easier.
Over time, my husband has seen the vast difference in energy, complaints, and body movement (stiffness) and he fully supports my health needs without complaint. I don't think he was trying to be a pain before. He just couldn't understand. I was trying so many different things and nothing helped. Doctors couldn't find anything wrong. Was it just that the woman he fell in love with grew into a hypochondriac? Was she just doing this for attention? Now he understands what was frustrating him before was my thyroid not working like it should. He can see the difference from when I take meds and I don't. He tells me how proud he is of me because I am pretty strict about it. I don't forget often and I set alarms on my phone to remind me to take certain meds (and a kid will come running from the other room with my phone in their hand, "Time to take your Metformin, Mom!" for my blood sugar issues).
It's not just my experience I can give you. My mother took about 2 weeks this summer to travel and visit family in other locations. When she returned, she was emailing her three daughters and stated how starting a walking routine proved quite painful in her joints. I asked if she had taken her ThyroCare and we figured out that while traveling, she hadn't taken it at all. The next day, the walk wasn't as painful and even better the day after. She showed up to the house the other day and said, "I have more energy. The only thing I've done differently is ThyroCare." Oh really? Needless to say, when I spoke to a friend this morning (who I had bought a bottle for), "Ya know, it's strange, but I've had more energy lately," I was able to connect the dots.
I thought I had more energy because once you remove pain, you can physically do more. Pain drains you of energy. I thought that was the connection, but now I've spoken to two individuals who have noticed more energy improvement. Those of us with fatigue issues really enjoy more energy. We've missed it for years, ya know?
In summary, ThyroCare is a miracle supplement in my eyes. It helps body temperature, joint pain, muscle stiffness, a swollen thyroid, and energy. That's from my personal experience and those of people close to me. When I spoke to my doctor about moving ThyroCare as a one-time suggestion of his to a daily supplement that improved some of my worst symptoms, he agreed. He tells me I spoil him because I'm proactive about locating solutions and incorporating them into my life. He has no idea how grateful I am to have his help.
I have my life back. I can take day trips with my family, I can move around my classroom and enjoy students, not give a "your teacher/mother needs a few moments" because her body isn't working (that includes the brain because of brain fog). If I can give any advice to others who suffer like I have, please take this supplement. It makes a huge difference in the quality of my life and it can certainly do that for others.
