Some of you have contacted me wondering about my personal thyroid challenge, and thank you for asking!! I started breaking out after a few weeks, which was kinda yucky but maybe kinda necessary.
Now, it’s been two months since I started and my skin has almost completely cleared up (I also went for a facial from my new favorite lady, Narine!). I got a reduction in medication two weeks ago from my doctor and I have to wait another 4 weeks to get my TSH levels checked. If the levels are normal, we’re in business!! That will mean that my thyroid has started working on it’s own again.
The good news is I got my period normally (tmi? whatever.) which NEVER happened when I was hypothyroid…so I’m hoping that’s a good sign.
In addition, a friend of mine found this cool site that has free yoga, pranayama and meditation classes. This yoga class is specifically for the endocrine system! I haven’t tried it just yet, but I will soon enough. An fyi, in case it seems weird, the “hummmm” sound she makes in the beginning is the vibrational sound of the 5th chakra (throat).
Anywho. Come on little thyroid…you can do it…go go go!! :)

Hi again,
I’ll be interested to hear about your journey with this. I’ve been on Levoxyl for about 5 years now after I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I’ve been prescribed with this medicine for life, which never settled with me. I’d like to hear about your steps!

Good gravy Quinn. I think I may have screwed up…because I think the pharmacy has been refilling with the OLD dose!! :( I don’t think they lowered it. I discovered this just before I got married and it fell to low priority. In any case, I have to get back on the horn with this. BUT! There are things we can do for a healthy thyroid! Lemme flush out my little journey here and I will keep you guys posted! xo
