Bottom line for

[Guest guest]

, it is obvious that you are very frustrated, and very

understandably!! Several of us have been there. I HAVE BEEN THERE.

You are not a lone wolf, and we are not people who couldn't possibly

have an understanding of what you might need, as you have expressed

in one form or another. We DO have an idea.

Here's the bottom line: This is a thyroid support group. This

particular one is for natural thyroid hormone (like Armour). There

are several of us here who have knowledge concerning optimal thyroid

meds, optimal thyroid treatment, proper labwork, knowledge of

cutting edge opinions about the above, and knowledge about other

conditions to look at.

You seem to have a thyroid problem. You are on Armour. That is a

great start!! Many come here still on synthetic T4-only--that's not

a good start.

Many problems which are not explainable point to a bad thyroid, and

in your case, an possibly undertreated thyroid. A bad or

undertreated thyroid can cause a MYRIAD of symptoms!! Celiac can be

one of them. You appear to be undertreated.

You need to know what your free T3 and free T4 are. Your free T3

needs to be in the upper part of the range, if not higher. Your free

T4 needs to be at least mid range. This is not a " what works for one

person does not necessarily work for another. " These are levels that

are proven over and over again to work the best. And, it is a fact

that the very best and educated docs know, promote, and seek these

levels in their patients.

If you have problems getting your free's to those points (or even if

you don't), it is important to next get your adrenals tested, and

see what is going on there. There is a post right above this from

someone who, once they got adrenal support, everything starting

falling into place. I personally, have not needed adrenal support,

but testosterone support, which is related.

Once you find the way to get your free T3 at the top, your free T4

around mid or higher, and your other hormones tested and given

support, if needed, you just might find some of your problems going

away.

We can help you, as a thyroid support group, if you find those

free's, find those adrenal results, and take the chance to try what

we are recommending by bringing this info to your doc.

And if you haven't already, there might be a good doc more to

explore on the two Top Doc lists provided in the LINKS section of

this site. Or, maybe you current doc will be open to trying what we

are trying to help you with.
