I don't know if the symptoms are from my thyroid level belong low ...or are side effects from Armour thyroid.

I have been through a string of catastrophes.
I can't "go" anymore.

I'm just gonna sit in my chair and vegetate.

There are natural hormone replacements. Could that be an option?

Essential oils have helped me in many ways. I'm not sure how you feel about homeopathic treatment options. Clove is helpful with general thyroid dysfunction. There are other oils recommended for hypo or hypo issues. Myrrh supports the thyroid. Some people aren't open to that, but I wanted to share that with you.

I was looking for some way to be encouraging for you.
