What Important Life Lesson Thyroid Disease Taught You
I received the results of my thyroid condition July 2009. My TSH was 7.9. My doctor gave me a prescription for Synthroid. I was not happy about going on medication for the rest of my life, so I looked into alternative medicine. I found a business card for an acupuncturist and decided to see what they could do. I started in Sept. and now it is Feb. I went for blood work last week and my number is now 5.1. I am very happy that I decided not to go on the medication.
The lesson is to explore other possibilities if it is medically possible of course. I'm glad that i did it.
How Has This Lesson Changed Your Life?
My instinct was telling me to explore my options. I decided to try the acupuncture. It's my health, my life. This result has made me feel good about my decision. It was better than what I expected. My number dropped by almost 3 points. I felt terrible when my doctor told me that I had to go on medication. But I was determined to find another way.
