Mine is only concerned with 1 number. I've slowly gained weight, loss hair, chronic fatigue. Eating healthy. My blood pressure drops at times so low I can't get up off the floor. I tried once the just stay still standing through this 'whatever', ended up passing out, wedging my foot behind the EC and breaking leg & ankle. Go me!
I want a natural way or better drugs, something, anything. Currently I got do disgusted being sick always, anxiety, jittery that I just stopped...but I read as much as I could find first. Tried iodine supplements. I'm now 34, wasn't told any other numbers and he's letting me try to figure this out on my own taking 30 mg daily...but, every dose, wether synthetic or iodine.. I'm weak, shaky before but after the pill, add anxious to it. I don't understand, sleep deprivation is terrible and I worry about just the stress of that. I really don't stress on anything, but I'd be niave thinking that I'm not subconsciously stressing from the body exhaustion. I also can feel adrenal flowing through me at times, it's hard to explain but I can actually feel flight or fight kicking in. Yoga, meditation, only help so far. I'm interested in Armor hoping these side effects will slow down. My autoimmune is shot and I'm getting puffy, extremely painful joints, back, etc. the more pain, the less I can walk distances which is very important to me. This also brings on extreme muscle pain, which certain yoga positions can abate it somewhat...but not nearly enough for the chronic pain levels I have. My knees & ankles have these big puffy sections which I'm told look like they are sprained..they arnt, just look & feel that way.
I live in Connecticut, near Hartford. So any decent Thryoid Doctor would help. I saw one last year from Hartford but he's just too slow on the uptake and you can tell he's a numbers guy, not big on symptoms at all. He saw me sitting there dong nothing while literally soaking through my clothing. I worry about some crazy toxicity they haven't picked up on, why else would your body release so much water? Unless it's a crazy way to get rid of excess? I drink a lot, have always been so thirsty. Not diabetic, unless they missread all the tests I go through.
