Snoopy, I don't really have doubts about my homeopath. Especially now that I have a better understanding of the possible reason why I'm having trouble tolerating my medication. But I do have doubts about homeopathy. I'm afraid it will leave me in a worse state than I was in before. I'm afraid I will be left with marginal thyroid function but unable to tolerate my medication any longer. That's a very scary prospect for someone who has been dependent on thyroid medication for 15 years and was told they'd have to be on it for life. I started homeopathic treatment thinking it would cure the autoimmune problem so that at least I wouldn't be reactive to my meds or my own thyroid function, but now I'm more so. Was that caused by a mistake in treatment, or is this a normal part of the process by which the remedy is freeing me of medication? How am I to know? So I thought by lowering my thyroid dose (as someone here suggested), I would be able to tell if the remedy was doing what it's supposed to do or is the whole thing so out of control that nothing I do at this point will help short of antidoting this remedy and starting over with some other treatment modality. Makes sense to me anyway.
