Tips for hypothyroidism !?!?
I’m an eleven year old girl. ( Don’t say I’m too young to be on here , because I dont care )
anyways ; my doctor probably seven weeks ago took my blood test ; and say I had hypothyroidism.. my levels were 8 point something..
So , about a week or two ago , I took it again. It got lowered to 5 point something.
The doctor wants me to take a small dose of L-thyroxine ( 0.05 mg daily )
and check back with her in april.
Is this a good pill ?
Will it to any damage to my body?
And PLEASE list some food that will help cure/lower it 
thank you.
NOTHING "cures" the condition.
Replacement will be life-long.
An absolute NECESSITY!!!
L-thyroxine is the standard pill given for hypothyroidism. It is a very good pill and has been used for a long time. L-thyroxine is just a pill with the hormone that your thyroid gland normally makes (its called thyroid hormone. It should not cause any harm to your body. You may experience mild side effects as your body gets used to normal levels of thyroid hormone (but you probably won’t experience any side effects at all).
Your doctor needs to determine the CAUSE of your hypothyroidism. A common cause, that is rarely diagnosed is Celiac Disease.
Best wishes and good luck.
