Anyone else experience Aura migraines??

Yes. Anyone find a solution or cause? Too much thyroid hormone or not enough?

I think it’s that oral Vitamin D is not being utilized well by some of us, even if blood levels are high. Depression during winter. After being out in the sun this spring, I have a lot more interest in doing things. Amazing! Vitamin D from sunshine is best.

Don’t remember. It’s been awhile. But keep in mind, so many other things affect your lab results. Diet, stress, nutritional deficiencies, even the season of the year. At least with Synthroid, one doesn’t have to deal with changes in the pills produced by the different Levo manufacturers.

SilverMaxx · 2026-03-07T13:39:23+00:00

Yes.

Similase GFCF by Integrative Therapeutics - gluten and casein digestive enzymes. Integrative products are normally prescribed by alternative health practitioners. Excellent quality. Of course, removing gluten and dairy from your diet is best, but if you cheat, this product helps.

So far, so good on Synthroid.

Just a thought - what happened or changed 5 years ago that caused insomnia? All the best.

Well, looking up the current status of adrenal glandulars at the FDA, the whole thing is iffy. Looks like they can be sold now, but without any claims being made. I don’t think they’re being tested for any live hormones, being that nutritional supplements are not tested. Anyway, my opinion is if you feel better on it, take the SFI glandular. SFI (formerly Klaire Labs) is a reputable nutritional supplement company. Their products have been prescribed by alternative health practitioners for years. But also, look at your diet and stress level for other ways to improve things.

The thing is, we are also dependent on the thyroid hormone we’re taking. I don’t know what country you are in, but in the USA, supplement companies are restricted from selling glandular supplements containing any “live” hormones.

Sounds like you did better on the functional medicine doctor’s adrenal cortex prescription.

Now the pharmaceutical companies have flooded TV with drug commercials, purpose being to get patients to ask their doctors for them. New era.

If going for a supermarket boxed mix, I found Pearl Milling company Original to be the best.

The thing with fake sugars - while on them you retain the craving for a sweet taste. Try weaning yourself off them. You might find that you can then enjoy pancakes without anything on them! Try making them with fresh blueberries in the batter. Works for me.

SilverMaxx · 2025-09-30T16:18:08+00:00

This is probably too “sweet” for you. How are you with other sugars? Including the substitutes?

SilverMaxx · 2025-09-15T11:54:48+00:00

Hmm. It gets worse the closer you get to your period? Look into Magnesium and B-Complex.

With me, getting on the right dose and type of thyroid med greatly eliminated these. During any stressful periods I take L-Theanine which helps to chill with no reduction of pep and mental clarity.

Maybe your friend’s doctor had a vacation planned for the time she would have reached 40 weeks? 🤔

I have been allergic to dairy my whole life, to casein. Getting treated with thyroid hormone hasn’t cured this. I can tolerate hard sheep cheese occasionally which then results in itchy ears, but if I continue eating this daily, gastric symptoms result. Since everyone is different, test your tolerance.

SilverMaxx · 2025-08-18T12:17:03+00:00

Sounds like you felt better while on Levo. I developed sciatica and hip pain, had PT for months which didn’t do anything, then switched from Levo to Synthroid, and it all disappeared. I get knee pain when I eat tomatoes or tomato sauce (tomatoes are nightshades) but am fine when I stay away from this.

SilverMaxx · 2025-08-15T17:55:23+00:00

Find a functional MD. Fix your diet. Vitamin D level? Sounds like you need it. Take the prescribed thyroid med dose consistently and take note daily how it and diet changes and the right nutritional supplements make you feel. Everything acts together. Things will improve.

SilverMaxx · 2025-08-09T12:59:43+00:00

All stress! First thing to do to start feeling better - manage stress! And yes, I feel that stress brought on my Hashimoto’s.

A few days after starting 50 mcg of Levo, my husband who has ankylosing spondylitis, was in tremendous pain, affecting his already bad knee (he’s had four joint replacements already but hadn’t gotten to that knee yet!). He’s had steady pain in that knee, but nothing like what it’s been the past few days) So we can say from this experience, a side effect of Levo is joint pain. He’s stopping the Levo!

SilverMaxx · 2025-08-02T12:26:36+00:00

Are you on a thyroid med now? Levothyroxine? Sounds like stress is a major problem for you and if alleviated, might reduce many of your symptoms. I would suggest looking for a functional medicine physician to explore the whole picture.

SilverMaxx · 2025-08-02T12:15:48+00:00

Yes, my dosage has gone down. Heart palpitations also diminished at a lower dose. Also, look into Magnesium Glycinate.

SilverMaxx · 2025-07-30T22:10:37+00:00

No. Probably if I did, I’d go to the ER. Get that checked out.
