I set this up for my wife whom I love and cherish. Hopefully we can find some great alternatives.

It would be useful to write up your results and normal range for TSH, FT4 and FT3 if you have them. Also worth finding out the following:-

B12

Iron/ferritin

Vit D

In the meantime, check with nutritionist you are getting enough fruit and veg in your diet - as organic as you can manage. Also it's sometimes beneficial to stop gluten. It all depends what is underlying cause of low t3 or t4 production. If you have anti bodies (auto immune trigger) that's causing problems to the thyroid which is best healed through gut repair and eating the right foods. This goes all way through to understanding if you are th1 of th2 dominant if that's part of the problem.

It's important to establish where the week spots are in order to evaluate treatment. Drs don't often do a full appraisal. Get your levels optimal not just in low end of normal. My guess is you need iron supplements, magnesium selenium and zinc along with vit b complex and c and e.

If you have high tsh low t4 but ok make sure the meds you are taking work within the details. I spoke to a consultant recently who recommended I go for natural bovine adrenal support (mine were shot - these too are needed) and thyroid support - both as nature made not man. These can work better on some people.

It can be hard work but it's v important to get the full picture from your doctor and take a full blood panel. I insisted on cortisol too and they later found out why... The thyroid needs good liver function, digestive function, vitamins and minerals to work well. When some or all of these go off and /or your adrenals are down you can get the imbalance and thyroid struggle. Much of it is diet related and discovering if you have auto immune problem.

Discuss with your doctor and don't be afraid to do your own research online and you will get the answers you need. I sympathise as its a vulnerable time in life so you want and need the energy and to feel strong. Take the supplements sbd s good probiotic. Check your symptoms and your blood work. Put on your super sleuth hat and change meds if you have to or find the support naturally. You shouldn't be having headaches so make sure you get the answers you need. Check body temp in the morning and keep a record. This should be helpful to your doctor. It's a very big area to work through but what you learn along the way will be useful for the rest of your life. And your child's.

Wishing you well.
