    maybe she should go see a different doctor. my mother is having problems with her thyroid, too. she's been on what is called synthroid, but her condition has gotten worse - which leads me to believe that the medication is not a cure, but instead just treatment of the symptoms which actually makes the condition worse in the long run. this sounds too serious to take suggestions of what kind of gear to run on her - that would seem more like a science experiment

    My Doctor has a thyroid problem and she is fit. She runs HRT clinics in two states I know about. There is a solution, you just have to do your homework and find a way to keep her hormones in sync.

    My sympathies, and hopefully some clarity...

    Likely Hyperthyroidism, which depending on the degree can be a good thing and compliment fitness, making some look good without even working out.

    Superhuman - ...which leads me to believe that the medication is not a cure, but instead just treatment of the symptoms which actually makes the condition worse in the long run.
    Some T-medications are treatments, while others usually a combined blend of the T-family members, CAN literally jump-start your gland causing it to function properly.

    Synthroid is for Hypothyroidism (under producing), and would obviously not be the medicine for his cousin. It also, belongs to the former category above (treatments), meaning it won’t repair anything. It’s very name bears the prefix ‘Syn’ for synthetic. It simply replaces or supplements the thyroid hormone in your body. Much like when we run Test.

    Firstly, the two are one, she doesn’t have both. Graves' disease is the most common form of hyperthyroidism. It occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid gland and causes it to overproduce the hormone called thyroxine. We all know the thyroid governs metabolism, which is why we use (ramping hopefully) Cytomel a.k.a. T3. It gives us a slight (couple of percentage points) boost, which benefits us in the long run. Well, when you have too much thyroid hormone in your system, your body's metabolism rate can increase by 60 percent to 100 percent because thyroxine regulates your cells' metabolism. These rates are progressive (not immediate) and if caught soon enough can be better managed, but can lead to a number of health problems the onset of which is usually an irregular heartbeat (which is why Arrhythmias should always be investigated) and unexplained, unreasonable anxiety. Severe problems affect the tissue behind your eyes as well as your skin and/or muscle, usually on your lower legs and feet.

    The bad news is that there's no way to stop your immune system from attacking the thyroid gland.

    The good news for her is that treatments can decrease the production of thyroxine and Graves' is very rarely life-threatening, though proper care should be administered. So I’d definitely recommend finding another physician, one who can better control her levels through testing and trial.

    It’s basically just a rare case of mistaken identity, in which the body erroneously turns on itself.

    Best wishes to you and the family.
