Wow. I am TOTALLY amazed that no one commented on the thyroid medications the patient was taking daily.

The first thing: your homeopath would have told you to expect a change in the activity of your thyroid, and to work with your doctor to monitor for these changes so that your dosage--or meds-- could be adjusted. Was this done? I have a hard time believing the thyroid issue was not discussed in case taking...

Seems to me that the symptoms you suffered were side effects of the thryoid medication being taken daily. No wonder you couldn't tolerate it! The dosage must be adjusted as your body re-balances and the thyroid assumes its functions again. Working with your MD to monitor and adjust the meds as you change is absolutely crucial; when my patients tell me their MD won't agree to help them do this, I strongly advise them to find another MD who WILL help them accomplish the restoration of their health: usually, when a doctor is told to "shape up" in this way, they usually comply with their patient's requests, no matter what they think about homeopathy.

Even if you decide to antidote, this business of working with your doc to stop using those drugs is absolutely essential. I strongly urge you to begin this process with your MD as you continue to work with your homeopath.

If you choose not to continue with homeopathy, I hope, as Chris does, that you find another modality to work on your individual complaints.
