DG -- it appears as if you have found a very good Dr.
A quick summary of my Thyroid condition:
1996 (I was 28) had severe fatigue, dry skin, constripation -- typical low thyroid symptoms. Funny, at this point my love affair with wine had not begun.
My blood work did NOT indicate a thyroid imbalance -- most Drs. use that as the only test. We tested my body Temp. for two weeks and I was waking up with a 92 degree body Temp. She put me on 90 mg. of Armour and also Prozac -- my PMS was out of control and it really did help. We also tried several attempts at birth control bills but they made me soooooo sick. Finally, only about two years ago we found Yasmin and I am on it continuously (no week of a period)
Here we are 12 years later -- still on 90mg Armour -- but my drinking did not escalate until the Anti-depressants -- I have been on Prozac, Effexor and now Lexapro. My Dr. has since added Seroquel. I take Evening Primose Oil (highly recommend). But I go though phases -I have benver been diagnosed bi-polar but I have been living on a chemical roller coaster for in my opinion too long. I am drinking wine again -- I seem can only last two weeks -- for now... let me know if you have questions...
