Life...exhaustion

i have that. mine was pregnancy induced though. i actually just got permission to decrease my methimazole (tapazole) prescription (hooray!) if my thyroid continues to handle everyday life well, i may get to go completely off the stuff!

unfortunately you may have more trouble if youve had it for awhile, as your thyroid is more out of whack. the best treatment is... arterial embolization. not approved in the USA, but if you can get to europe its an option.
second best is meds, to suppress the thyroid function. then, once its at a balanced point they can ease you off it. if it goes out of whack again as the dosage decreases then you may have to keep taking meds. this is my treatment, because the first was unavailable and the last two i consider no option
third option is to kill the thyroid (with radioactive iodine) and put you on hypothyroid meds. forever. see why its not an option?
fourth option is surgery to remove part/ all of the thyroid. its invasive, it puts your vocal chords at risk, and it will likely still leave you hypothyroid, which means hormone replacement again, forever.

the thyroid controls many things, most noticeably your metabolism. hyperthyroid tends to suffer fast metabolism (i was eating 3 peoples worth of food a day and losing weight.) fast/ sometimes irregular heartbeat, and pervasive exhaustion.
the thyroid is also the only organ that deals with iodine (which is why radioactive iodine will kill it and not damage other organs) because of this i switched fully to kosher salt. not iodized table salt. i figured it was better not to feed the beast. i also avoid kelp, not that thats hard with my usual food intake.
something else i found out recently is that MSG (and all its sneaky little friends) can exacerbate the problem, and does fuck with the endocrine system a great deal. so start avoiding MSG like its the plague, besides, its bad for you anyway.

heres a few links for the MSG stuff, pm me if you need to, hyperthyroidism sucks some donkey balls, but it could be worse, it could be hypo.

well thats because they didnt pump you full of as much crap as everybody after you. like umami, its fucking msg, and it can cause panic and rage (look at the violence in school, i bet they are eating a ton of without knowing where the rage is coming from). like the hormones in the milk bringing 6-8 year olds into breastiness, and the GMO food that stays fresh, but has fewer nutrients. and the advent of videogames and computerized socializing, as GC said "when does a kid ever get to sit in the yard with a stick anymore?... do todays kids even know what a stick is?"
the government wants to keep us sick, so they can control us through the medications. thats probably the #1 reason arterial embolization isnt approved here, because it has an incredible success rate and most people never have to be on meds afterward. they use the same technology in brain sugeries, but its not approved for use on the thyroid? nah, they can just charge you an arm and leg to stay on meds, and keep you sick, keep you crawling back.
