Hello Dr. Jockers. I’m currently taking Levothyroxine. Should I consume iodine in the form of sea kelp? Thanks

Hello Doctor Jockers!

Can you address thyroid nodules please? Half of my thyroid was removed because of this and I have them in my remaining thyroid as well.

Grateful,

Maryann

Not for a Hashimoto’s diagnosis but you can see the early stages of development as most of the laboratory ranges are too wide and don’t take into account functional health. Here is a helpful article: https://drjockers.com/properly-test-thyroid-function/

Hello doctor, thanks for your very useful article, i have a question
Is it possible to have a Hashimoto condition, even if the laboratory tests of T3 T4 and THS result as being in normal range ?
Thanks for your support

In reply to Aleksu. Hello Aleksu, Graves hyperthyroidism is an autoimmune disease characterized by high thyroid hormones all the time while Hashimoto's can fluctuate between high and low thyroid hormone although it is most commonly low. If you are having the fluctuating numbers, this is a certain type of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Yes Lyme can absolutely be at the root or a contributing factor with this. Wishing you all the best in your health journey! Blessings!

Thanks Dr. Jockers for the great info on thyroid/Hashimotos! So much great info. It is because of all your in depth articles that I finally sought out a naturopathic doctor to guide me in healing my thyroid. P.S. Under TSH paragraph, I think you meant to say with low TSH, this would be hyperthyroidism (not hypothyroidism).

This article has a brief mention of both Hashimotos and Graves occurring, could you discuss instances of people having both sporadic overactive and under-active thyroid episodes? I feel like I am the only person on earth who has to take variable doses daily of either liothyronine and levothyroxine or methimazole. I have Lyme Disease at the root of everything, as well as a Babesia co-infection. I suspect the severe hyperthyroid episodes occur in conjunction with Babesia active cycles. I have more scary hyper- episodes when my Babesia is not under control too than when treatment is more successful. Any insights and suggestions for balancing the crazy swings would be appreciated, or even just telling me I’m not the only one dealing with this.
