The Problem with Thyroid or TSH Ranges (and why they might not help you)

One of my biggest bugbears with thyroid treatment in the UK, is the importance often placed by doctors on blood tests results for TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). 

If someone complains of symptoms of thyroid (fatigue, pain, cold, constipation, brain fog, etc)  they are sent for a TSH level test.  If test results show their levels are within range, then they are usually told all is fine and not given any thyroid medication or their thyroid medication levels are not changed. 

Yet the individual may still have a host of thyroid symptoms which are ignored. # Told that their results are within range, the individual is often left with symptoms and feels ignored, alone or as if they are faking feeling ill. 

I find it really sad seeing people talk about what has happened and how bad they are feeling. I work with people who, over and over again, repeat that their lives are really difficult because they are struggling with fatigue, pain, anxiety, racing heart, etc. And they are not being treated because a blood test shows their levels are within a range. 

For me if a person has symptoms, they are ill and need and deserve treatment. 

And this is why I am a homeopath. I treat you and your symptoms. Your blood test results are not of huge importance to me because they do not give me an accurate picture of what is going on for you. And you are at the centre of what I do. 

In other words I treat you. Homeopathy is individualised medicine. It is bespoke, and it is natural. I take your symptoms and find a remedy which fits the individual symptoms you experience and which fits you. And that is what makes you feel better. 

So come on over. Come and chat. Come and find out how I can help you be symptom free, feel better and get your life back regardless of a blood test result.
