Re: !hyper thyroid!
Hyper thyroidism can be controlled by medication. Doc might ask you to go for some ultrascans.
Had the same problem, had medication for a few years and the T4 level went back to normal and since then, I have been off medication. Don't worry too much!

Re: !hyper thyroid!
Hey! I really wish you the best of luck. I guess in a very skewered way there's perspective to be learnt. But don't worry too much okay, like all the other sbf bros here say can cure one and they have gone through before. Dont worry we're all behind you bro. Good luck!

Re: !hyper thyroid!
it depends on your luck.
i took medicine for years already as my condition is ON and OFF. life is sad but no choice. definitely will effect daily activities. close one eyes and move on with life. even when im off medicine now, i somehow still feel the thyroid effect.

1. Actually, you should let your wifey know of your conidtion. It's not like cancer or aids where it could cause the whole family, father mother sisters brothers in laws and all relatives to go into depression. Hyperthyroid is not uncommon. 2. Not sure if your sinseh is right. Hyperthyroidism means your thyroid is too active. Seaweed contains lots of iodine, which activates your thyroid even more. (Hope I got that right, I remember reading about it some time ago). I remember I got hyperthyroidism around the time I took nutrition pills made from seaweed (kelp/algae) manufactured by a Japanese company (I think it's Red Sun). I can't say this is the direct link, but I suspect this was the cause. Also, I was taking about 2 litres of Sobe soya drink milk everyday around that time, something I never did before. It could be one or both causes. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism after I had difficulty climbing up and down staircases because of the pain in my thigh muscles. The doc gave me pink pills for about a year, and after the test showed T3 and T4 balance back to normal I stopped. That was about 6 years ago.

IMHO and Non-Professional view, don't hide from your wife. Go through this curable battle together cos support of loved one is critical in your journey to recovery.  It's SGH not others. You are advised to reduce intake of seaweed cos of it's high iodine content TCM is a long process and some of these "保健" products are simply a waste of money and time with false hope. It is highly advisable to seek treatment from SGH and only seeking Qualified TCM Physician and Reputable TCM Halls as a form of supplement for your recovery process Good luck and wishing you a speedy recovery!
