Ur symptoms do sound like so many here, u r right about that. I would also suggest u have ur thyroid checked out......I was have the heart flutters or as I called them palps...and had my heart checked...I also have hashimoto's thyroiditis.....and since being on the thyroid med synthroid, I do not have them ne longer.
In addition to the meds ur dr has tried for u have u changed ur diet and lifestyle?? It is a must along with meds in order to see results......we have a list of tips in our health Pages...u can access thru the the HP icon above the recent activities on the left of the page or use the link in the welcome message at the top of the forum.

I too have Hashimotos disorder, or so they tell me almost 15 years ago now. I have been up and down with my meds over these years, and if i miss taking it for more than 2 days, my TSH levels go through the roof. My current doctor now reckons I have GERD also. He referred me to a specialist which took me 6 months to get into to see him. I was in his office for 2 minutes and all he did was prescribe a pill, Nexium. He said take it for 4 weeks then come back and see me for further investigation. I think Im a GERD sufferer but i am not sure, it feels like Cancer the symptoms are so severe and chronic, my blood pressure is always normal, my heart tests are good and my lung xrays showed nothing. I am completly frustrated by this ailment. Please help.
