I'm on medication for low thyroid - been on it for quite a few years now - but I still have MANY of those symptoms. Every time my Dr. does my blood work to test my levels, though - she says it looks "just fine". 🤷‍♀️

@Heather Anne I had Grave's disease and made it 18 years before doc pushed to kill my thyroid. And, I would rather deal with Graves symptoms than the hypo symptoms I've had for 6 years now. The levothyroxine did nothing so they had to put me on Synthroid, which costs way too much even with insurance.

[@cgreen6420]

My advice for anybody with thyroid issues is eliminate the carbs. Doesn't matter whether hypo or hyper, carbs hurt you. I went to what I called the caveman diet. The only vegetables that don't seem to upset my body are root veggies like onions, carrots, garlic, and potatoes (boiled or baked).

Hello Dr. Berry. I'm Rebecca Bailey. I've been carnivore for more than 3 years, and I've lost between 90-100 lbs so far, as of 12/2024. I've seen great benefits from my weight loss, but today I've been on Lugol's now for about 3-4 weeks, and have begun having an amazing bonus to the Lugol's which is I've always had thin fingernails, used to have lines in them, but amazingly my nails have gotten very hard, and the lines are gone. I give all the credit to you, and others touting Lugol's for thyroid. As time goes by I feel, and look better. I'm 70 years old, but most people think I'm 40. LOL. I have extreme problems losing weight since I started oral birth control in 1973 when I got married the first time. Before that when I was about 15 I easily lost 30 lbs before I started high school by eating half what I usually did. Easily kept it off til I started the oral birth control in 1973. I did starvation diets, til I discovered Carnivore, and dropped the SAD diet. God Bless you, and all you do. I'm engaged to be married once more on June 30, 2025 after the loss of my first husband in June of 2012. Losing almost 100 lbs brought my soon to be husband to me. We're getting married June 30, 2025. We greatly miss our late spouses, but will honor them by marrying on the same date we all four got married on the first time - June 30, 2025. There are a lot more coincidences, but we know God played matchmaker for us. We are beyond happy, and he's doing carnivore with me. I hope we are able to live to a ripe old age. God Bless.

This was a reminder to my own situation with a low functioning thyroid. When I was 40, I suffered an attack which I thought was a severe sore throat and didn't follow up on it right away with a doctor. Over a year later I was still dealing with minor sore throat and ear issues and finally got it checked out. In the meantime the symptoms of low thyroid (feeling cold, achy, depression) also appeared but I failed to recognize them. Long story short, I got medical help and was put on thyroxin. In my mid forties I went to a nutritional consultant where I was advised to immediately remove processed foods, sugar, wheat and gluten rich grains and as much dairy from my diet as possible (excepting fermented products like yogurt). Have pretty much followed as closely as possible to this regimen although I do treat myself to ice cream or a piece of cake for special occasions. And here are the results -- my thyroid came back to more normal function so I could quit taking the thyroxin. Which proves to me that food can play a large role in our well-being. In my 70's now and my last blood test showed even higher thyroid function than before. I wish I could have had access to your excellent videos when I was younger, but thankfully you are helping many others now.

Those are all my symptoms that my endo says “my labs are good” despite great loss of QOL and being hypothyroid for over 20 years. Finally got them to check antibodies for Hashimoto’s and I thought okay this explains it all!

Wrt the uncommon symptoms, many mimic perimenopause. If you're 45 and have these symptoms, go see your gynecologist. I thought for years that my endocrinologist was undertreating me and once I realized it was perimenopause and got hrt, I feel like myself again. I apologized to my endocrinologist. I suffered needlessly for years. Actually thought I had early onset dementia.

After years of doctors telling me there is nothing wrong with me, to learn to “deal with the aches and pains”, not knowing why I get daily headaches and memory loss, or why I’m tired all the time, I’ve finally been diagnosed with an extremely under-active thyroid. How it went unnoticed for so long, I have no idea. But I’ve experienced so many of these symptoms. My new doctor kept telling me “you like a healthy person” & then noticed a goiter. I’m just happy I’m finally being treated so I can start to feel like myself again.

[@NessaHavoc]

I encourage people to go get a second opinion if they can. My mother was diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism which is an autoimmune disease, after almost 5 years of misdiagnosis. They readily chalked it all up to her being obese. The reason being that her TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) was within normal range. There are other tests though like T4 and T3 which is what the thyroid itself produces. Those were low but no one looked further because her basic TSH was fine. TSH is released by the pituitary gland, which meant she had a functioning pituitary gland but not a functioning thyroid. There was also a test where they detected and measured antibodies that were attacking her thyroid. So listen to your gut, and don't let them dust your symptoms under a rug.

[@tns4358]

I’ve watched this because I was curious. I’m hypothyroid and menopausal. ( premature) The hypothyroid symptoms I have now compared to before being properly diagnosed are way more subtile and takes me longer to realize I’m off. The muscle weakness, actually more like pain/soreness, body stiffness it sneaks up on you, I even have constipation, which I never had before, the extra face dryness it’s weird too, sometimes the heels get cracked, my legs itch so bad, and I do get swelling in my legs and face puffy/eyes, gain weight that creeps in quickly with no changes in eating habits. I take all the supplements in the world and iodine etc. My brain takes longer to put the symptoms together! Great video! As I am writing I’m going through one of these episodes where I have to increase my dose. I have a very narrow therapeutic index and that doesn’t help either. I can only tolerate one kind of desiccated thyroid and compounded. I’ve only experienced hyper symptoms once when I started mercury chelation, I’ve lowered my dose to 1/3 since that, and I feel it with Armour, my body seems to take it too fast and I can’t keep even with it. It’s great to have awareness of the many ways we all experience symptoms.

Mine is caused because I live down river from the Hanford Nuclear plant! I spent all summer water skiing on the Columbia River! So I’m sure I drank gallons of that water! I do have a cyst in my thyroid, so I take 0.05 mg pill each morning! The reason it’s so weak, is because I started having panic attacks after I was taking the regular thyroid pill they start you out on! They were way too strong for me! I’ve been on the pills for over 20 years now. I did just notice the ones I’m taking now are Not the natural thyroid! I have no idea how long I’ve been on this kind, but I will be contacting my Dr & getting this fixed ASAP! Anyway, I do have a lot of these symptoms! I’m actually surprised! I will be asking my doc for the complete test, as well! Thank you so much, Dr Barry!❤️

Amen brother. I use a western philosophy MD for my in-network internist but control my thyroid through a naturalist PA who really knows what blood lab work to order to interpret and monitor my hypothyroidism. She's the one that recognized my T3 and T4 responded independently to naturethroid and levothyroxine; i take both to get proper levels of T3, T4. She's amazing in how she reads the different blood lab indicators, translates to lay language and provides natural, logical health habits to keep it in balance--not simply "up the dose" or prescribe another pharmaceutical to mask various symptoms. She's not against pharma, just relies on it as a last measure. Dr Berry you are what the West needs in real healthcare. My PAs and your battles are convincing a blind, numb public conditioned to search for another pill to swallow without listening to to myriad side effects that will bring you back for another pill. Keep preaching, PLEASE! We're listening. May God continue blessing you and those who listen to your wisdom.

It is very important to take the medication everyday. I learned this the hard way, I stopped taking my medication for about 2 months and one night I woke up having blurred vission, I felt Hot Tingling all over my body, I felt I could not breathe, I had palpitations, I thought i was going to die. My family called the ambulance and when they were examining me they thought I was on drugs because my eye pupils were wide and would not shrink under light, of course I was not doing any drugs this was just something else happening to my body. When I was examined at the emergency room my sugar levels were very high and my blood pressure was very elevated as well. They treated my sugar and my blood pressure but for some reason nothing was working. There were 4 doctors trying things to help me, when the blood test came back they saw that my Thyroids were out of wack. When they treated my thyroids everything else just calmed down. Let me tell you it was the worst night of my life and ever since I have not missed taking my Levothyroxine.

Almost 61, no Thyroid as radiated 20 years ago, had VSG in MX so lost 120 lbs 6 yrs ago & kept it off w/Keto. I am 3 weeks into Carnivore which long term is not for me BUT works well for a cut, yes you can gain weight on Keto! So hard to find someone that will give me anything but modern thyroid meds in Michigan.

Wow! I have every one (except maybe one) of the more unusual symptoms. Odd. I wonder if I need to move to Tennessee to become one of your patients. So far I've been tested about 10 times for this, but never the more 'extra' tests. I look forward to learning more from you! Thanks to you, and to God, for God's leading me to you. He always shows me stuff on KZbin that have changed my life. Weird. Is God in charge of KZbin algorhythms?

The shortlist of symptoms my wife has that coincide with this list: Breast tenderness, sweet cravings, eye spasms, perspiration issues (i.e. temp regulation), frequent infections, concentration, shortness of breath (unexplained), joint pain, muscle pain, poor appetite, low libido, low sodium in blood work, high LDL. As a chiropractor, I don't order blood work though I can. I am at a point where I'm going to start ordering thyroid tests on patients who don't respond to care properly who haven't had a complete thyroid workup. Its borderline negligence that TSH is the standard of care. That's like going to the drive-thru, placing your order, but you have no guarantee that what you ordered is what you're going to get. Of course, most people assume that what they order in a fast-food drive-thru is actually food, but that's another story!! Now if only I could get Armour Thyroid for patients...that's why we have smart docs like you to make sure we get the right meds when a patient needs them!!

Thank you for this information I think I have low thyroid but the times I’ve been tested the results are always negative I’ve suffered hair loss for almost 25 years, also have depression and anxiety and a lot of other symptoms you mentioned I’m looking forward to the video about what test to ask our doctor for cuz I think a lot of them are clueless

[@ahc1957]

I just went to my doctor and mentioned that I think I have a thyroid problem. I’m aware of many symptoms and asked for a blood test to confirm. My daughter and husband have thyroid issues that had unusual symptoms. I did the research and had to insist that they get tested. Sure enough, they both tested positive even though the doctor said their symptoms were not usual. It ended up that my husband has hypothyroidism and my daughter had Graves which required radiation and heart meds. I had no problem but now I have very many of the symptoms you just mentioned. Waiting on an ultrasound and blood test in 2 days.

I'm 51 female and I have been on the same dosage ever since May 1998 it's been the same ever since then. I found out from my biological Uncle that my birth mother's sister and cousin have the high thyroid. I'm the only one with three other siblings and one of my brothers is a half brother and he can look like a body builder even now at 43 years old. I'm 5'3" and the last time I got on the scale in July I was 308.6lbs. I have past injuries that make it hard for me to do not much when my herniated disc is out and my hips take turns going out on me and my feet are not the same at all and I have high arches. I have no energy maybe I can last 2-4 hours I have to make sure that I get everything done before around there because I can't do anything for the rest of the night. In the last three years I've been getting bed sores on the butt. And yeast infections non stop I think I got it gone and over night it feels like it comes full on again. I haven't been able to do to much apt. cleaning in the last 3-5 years much. No one wants to hang out with me because I can't do much. Winter time is horrible last November and December were bad I could barely stand up to go into the bathroom and kitchen when needed. I need to know if there is something that can actually help me with losing weight. I have small thighs and definitely a lower belly and chest and water retention feet and up to just above my knees when it's bad retention and other areas. I can cook I can only eat chicken and hamburger. I have cholesterol med's. Potassium. An histamine and nasal spray others. In 2005 my right ear went out and I always had excellent hearing. I started my period at 11 years old. Never had a normal period. No actual boyfriends or kid's. Just saying some of the things that happened to me and my symptoms and almost all of what was said for both the actual symptoms for low thyroid and the other one's you could have too. I've never had good sleep. It's 2am. right now but I started sleeping the opposite of my neighbor in my first apt. our bedrooms are on the same wall so my neighbor snored so I started to go to bed at 7:30am. after he woke up that was in 1999 or 2000. I need some feedback on what exactly I need to tell my doctor on what the other blood tests I need to have done to see if there is anything that can help me with my gut. Whenever I would work out I would only lose inches no weight and gain muscle majorly. I hope this helps someone else. If need be you can ask me anything. On here.

So the big question. Does the low thyroid function cause the depression and stress symptoms, or does being chronically stressed and saturated in stress hormones destroy your thyroid function? Is it even possibly a vicious circle?

[@susanredbird3287]

I had all these symptoms on synthroid. I could not function. I could not hear and had to get hearing aids. My TSH was 4.2 and they said it was fine. It took fighting! They raised my medication and now I can hear! Even the ear doctor can not believe it. My ear drums were not even vibrating and now they are. I have some fancy hearing aid in a box now. Don't give up, keep asking for help. Oh yes, my blood sugar is down. It's a learning curve for sure. I had wrist and hand pain, knee and shin pain and it's gone. I had sores on my scalp that were filled with pus and itched and burned. All gone now.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism years ago, with all the classic symptoms you describe; however, now I'm suffering from heat - always hot and often sweaty. What is your recommendation or thoughts on this?

[@socratesaristotle101]

I don't know about the US but many GP's in Canada are still mistaken in thinking if your tsh level is 5 mU/L you're borderline but require no treatment. One doc visit I was told my tsh was fine. It was 5 mU/L. Less than two months later it was 16 mU/L. My endocrinologist says our tsh level should be no greater than 1 mU/L and no less than 1 mU/L. Also, I've noticed a huge difference in my tsh number according to what I eat. When I eat clean foods, my tsh is way better. In addition, doctors need to look at the reason the thyroid has run amuck. For me, I have SJOGRENS syndrome and lupus. Both affect my thyroid function....so make sure your doc checks that you are otherwise healthy and if not healthy, keep digging for answers.

I printed out all of my symptoms and showed them to my GP, he was hesitant about my self diagnosis but agreed to start me on Levothyroxine.
