Hypothyroid patients need to take such thyroid hormone pills at the rest of their life. First reason is such thyroid hornone pills will make their thyroid gland become more LAZY. That means patients thyroid gland will produce less and less thyroid hormone. And, patients need to take more and more hormone pills as times goes by.
 

Second reason, most of hypothyroid patients get hurt in their thyroid gland by RAI131, Thyroid Surgery or high level of antibodies. There is not med can make patients to reborn a new thyroid gland. This is why Green Life ask patients no to hurt their thyroid in easy way.

We suggest patients taking TT. The reason is TT can help patient’s thyroid to work in more efficient way. That means patients will have more thyroid hormone produced by their own thyroid gland.

Q7. Do you have any instruction to remind me?

We suggest hypothyriod patients taking TT and thyroid hormone pills. Then, patients can lower down the dosage of thyroid hormone pills when their thyroid start to produce more thyroid hormone (patients get hyperthyroid symptoms). 

Patients will feel much more energy and feel much comfortable after taken TT. The reason is TT can help their thyroid to work in more efficient way. Normally, patients will feel the significant improvement just wtithin 1st TT treatment.

It depends on the thyroid condition of patient. Patients will get recovery completely if their thyroid get less hurt. These patients need not taking TT and hormone pills after recovery. 

However, some patients may still need taking thyroid hormone pills if they get much hurt in their thyroid gland. These patients will feel much comfortable and more energy under TT treatment. The reason is TT can’t make them to reborn a new thyroid gland.

We have met a mother, who become serious hypothyroidism after taken Radioactive Iodine. She told us that her whole life was changed after become serious hypothyroid patient. She can’t go out and buy things in supermarket. She can’t sent her baby to kindergarten. She even can’t get up and hold her baby when her baby was crying on the ground. She told us that she was living in hell! It is very terrible!

Q10. Can I do exercise?

Yes, hypothyroid patients can do exercise! Actually, hypothyroid patients are easier to feel tired. Doing some exercises are good for hypothyroid patients.

Q11. Can I lose weight by doing exercise?

No, You can't. Hypothyroid patients are easier to get swollen on body. The reason is water will be remained under their skin. It is caused by thyroid hormone imbalance. 

Some patients told Green Life that they can’t lose weight even under extremely hard exercise. The reason is that caused by thyroid hormone imbalanced. It can be solved by thyroid hormone only! We suggest patients taking TT and get thyroid hormone balanced first. Then, they can lose weight by doing exercise.

Hypothyroid patients can follow the Doctor’s advice to do blood test. Or, patients can do the blood test every year.
