Herbal Supplement For Iron Deficiency

Question: How long does hypothyroidism take to manifest? Twice I have tested low on my TSH levels, the later test involving both T3 and T4. My doctor now sent me a prescription for synthroid a few days ago that I have yet to fill. The only reason I even had my thyroid checked in the beginning was because of some infection they thought my toe had that really wasn't that bad and the antibiotics ended up making me feel worse because they were too strong, which is a whole 'nother story. I've had a few CBCs, but I guess that doesn't indicate thyroid function because they never told me anything. I know what the symptoms are for hypothyroidism, but I don't have any of them. I mean, yeah I'm sleepy or drowsy when I get less than 7-8 hrs sleep and I do have iron deficiency anemia which could be the cause of that. I get hot or cold when it is truly hot or cold and everyone else feels it. My hair and nails continue to grow without abandon and my skin is not pale (I'm tan) or flaky, although it may be dry from time to time because I have had eczema all my life. So if I actually did have hypthyroidism would I know it right off or would it take some time? If anything, I would have HYPERthyroidism as I only weigh around 125-130 lbs and 5'7". I'm freakin skinny! In the meantime I'm taking an herbal supplement my mom already had in the cabinet that is kelp and alfalfa that has 100% DV iodine. IDK how much good that'll do since I don't feel symptoms anyway.

Answer: I have this but have no answer for this question. I do know the hot and cold can get really bad too. I hope your doing well with your infection as well.
