Hashimoto Disease.

[visalent]

Dear Sir/Madam,
My daughter of 6 years old,found with Hashimoto disease and taking Thyronorm 50mg daily for the last one and half year. TSH and FT4 values are improved. Recently one Homeopathic doctor suggested some medicines along with Thyronorm. He suggested that Thyronorm is hormon suppliment and it is required to have some medicine to stimulate the gland itself for the production of its hormone. Is it right.?
Is it advantage to take some medicine with Thyronorm or I continue this only.....
Expecting valid advice..

I don't understand "not satisfied with the reply"....... not knowing what's in the supplements, there's not a lot we can tell you. We certainly can't tell you if they will help or not.  

There are no supplements that stimulate a non-working thyroid.

Not satisfied with the reply.

You'll know more whether the homeopathic medicine has done anything when she has further tests after being on it for a while.  My guess is that it won't do much.  If she's feeling fine, is there really any need ofr it?

She is normal in all. slight swelling on neck was the earlier symptom and still it persists a bit.

[Barb135]

I'd want to know what's in those pills.  

As goolarra said, no medicine will stimulate her thyroid to produce hormones.

How is your daughter feeling?  Does she have symptoms of being hypo?

You should also get her doctor to test Free T3, which is most important.

Dear sir,
Thanks for your response...
Test results follows

                      Present             4 months back              Normal range
TSH                   0.231                   0.113                        0.7 - 6.4
T4                      10                       10.3                           6.4 - 13.3
Free T4               1.49                    1.76                          0.89 - 1.76

She is taking thyronorm 50mg daily morning..The additional Homeopathic medicine started just recently. we have not tested the values after that. The medicine provided by the doctor and not having name, for the cost of 4$ for 15days medicine. He specified that , this is a recent development in the Homeopathy.

How is your daughter feeling?  Have her symptoms gone away?

Please post her TSH anf FT4 results and include reference ranges since they vary lab to lab.  Do they also test her FT3?

There is no medicine that will stimulate the thyroid to produce hormones.  However, various vitamins and minerals are necessary for the proper metabolism of thyroid hormones.  Do you know which medicine the doctor is suggesting?
