[Finding My Self]

Great thread - I shall be watching it too! Have been through lots of thyroid - "There's nothing wrong with your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) so nowt wrong with you"......Ha. The other thyroid hormones were not there! (T2, T3, T4) Dr. Barry Durrant-Peatfield in the UK is a wow on this.... I didn't get as far as Armour (as he prescribes a lot too) but did well on the adrenal and thyroid 'glandulars' from Nutri in Cambridgeshire, England.

Sooooh often, the thyroid will pick up after the adrenals are boosted....a lot of low thyroid is from adrenal exhaustion....and no amount of thyroid supplementation will work if the adrenals aren't addressed as well - in fact, it can make the thyroid worse if the adrenals are ignored! And guess what?......low adrenal reserve leads to alcohol cravings (as alcohol prduces cortisol that the adrenals are seriously lacking in low thyroid) and alcohol in turn leads to adrenal exhaustion......that old vicious circle!

Good luck to everyone - underactive thyroid had me feeling more ill than at any time in my life - and I felt AWFUL!
