Dear Michele,
My whole family is filled with low thyroids! The over all experience is
that although it takes 4-6 weeks for the levels to change levels in the
blood, it takes days to feel better. I would be as encouraging as
possible with this mother that now that she is taking her medication her
situation should improve. You also might want to make sure she is not
taking fenugreek which can lower thyroid levels. Fenugreek is the go to
herb here in Michigan and a high proportion of my moms have thyroid
problems so it can be counter productive.
Let us know how she bounces back!
Warmly,
--
