I know you all are going to say for me to get to another homeopath quick, but I'm scared to unless I understand what's happening to me. How do I trust another homeopath after two horrible experiences with practitioners who are seasoned and have excellent reputations?

I seem to be unable to tolerate my thyroid medication anymore. I'm having a constant migraine and other symptoms of thyroiditis and I've already cut back my dose once over the weekend. I had a bit of relief for one day and then it all started again yesterday. Terrible headache, tachycardia, shortness of breath, and anxiety. I'm taking the maximum dose of motrin and it's barely taking the edge off. I'm afraid I just can't take my thyroid medication anymore.

The good news is that I got a full set of thyroid labs done yesterday after much complaining to my HMO. So at least I'll have some info about what's going on.

But my question is this. If the carc is making me intolerant to my medication, does that mean I don't need medication anymore? What would happen if I stopped taking it altogether? I'm waiting for my endocrinologist's office to call me with a cancellation because he's booked up for awhile. But in the meantime, I'm not sure I can take the meds any longer. Is it possible that if I stopped the meds, my thyroid would be working on its own? Is it possible I'm cured of the disease and the medication is a big overdose now? Or am I proving the carc, heaven forbid?

Please help me sort through this because I'm so scared, and I vacillate between hating homeopathy and hoping it's actually producing the cure I took it for.
