Question:
This last suggestion from PEANUTS to check-out
Wilson's Thyroid Syndrom appears to be the most valuable so far. I did check many and I'm printing copies of same to pass on to my doctor in a couple of weeks.
I have all, but given up on homeopathy. Expensive and too much guessing to give me the confidance required to stick with it.
Regards to all,
Jerry.

Hi jbaljeu,
Wilson's Thyroid Syndroms not considered a valid DX at all by most doctors who understand thyroid, which most do not.
From my experience and studies, it is most likely that you are not getting sufficient thyrroid replacement yet.
The lab ranges do not prove the level you need to be well and symptom free.
I suggest either changing docs til you find one that listens to symptoms or telling your symptom to your current doc and asking for a trial med dose raise.
If you look on the Thyroid Board, you will see your experience and symptoms are very common for hypothyroidism. That is where I post mostly.
Read Our Stories, and the Information Archive topic.
If you can't get a doc to help you with the thyroid, there are online sources for dessicated thyroid for you to try yourself.
Just read up so you know what symptoms of an overdose are, and back off on the dose if you think you need to.
I recommend first working with a doctor on this if at all possible.
