Thank you very much for your kind reply!  I've always wanted to have a hair test done so I'll keep that in mind as it does make sense to me.

I really could kick myself because I'd actually been doing very well mood-wise until shortly after I broke my gluten and dairy-free diet back in February.  I did the same thing last August, which was after a period of a lot of stress, and soon began to feel depressed, then this unrelenting and overwhelming fatigue, and by October had a full-on thyroiditis attack with palpitations/tachycardia and sort of like panic attacks, also obstructive apnea (from the thyroid swelling) so trying to sleep was hard.  But with a couple of simple remedies I found on EarthClinic.com everything quickly calmed down.  By then I was sleeping mostly at night so my mood also improved a whole lot, and through most of the winter I felt way better than I had most of the year.  Then I guess I took my progress for granted and now got myself a little deeper "in the hole".

About the supps, 1) I always take Vit. C but not that much, only recently I began to take about 2g/day; it's kind of hard for me to remember when to take what but I'll try to do better..   2)  I don't plan on taking licorice because a naturopath told me years ago to avoid it due to my b/p's tendency to go up rather than down.  3)  I use Real Salt in my food but I have a question, should I ingest 1 tsp. in addition to that?  I do know I cannot eat much salt a few hours before going to bed or my hands will swell up while I sleep and go numb and wake me up...  4) I knew Pantothenic Acid is essential in dealing with stress but had forgotten whatever I'd read about panthetine, time to hit the books again and/or do a search, I'm planning to place an order of supps in  a day or two so I might include it in it.  5)  I'd also been taking a B-complex daily (but sometimes I'd forget...) and recently began trying to take it 2x/day because even Adele Davis "back in the day" always said it was absolutely essential for adrenal health.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and share your valuable suggestions!  I think I'd read one of your previous posts referring to the Buteyko tecnique but I forgot to look it up, however, I noticed that when I become more aware of my breathing I notice sometimes I've even been holding my breath .  On top I have permanent nasal congestion (from mold exposure, I'm sure) so I don't get a lot of oxygen most of the time and I read that in itself can cause b/p to go up plus some of my other symptoms, so I then begin to breathe deeply and slowly and so far those few attempts seem to have helped, so I know your suggestion has a lot of merit, also meditation sounds right, I'll definitely explore that!

Thank you for your input.   I'm sure you're on to something here, I once read that problems with magnesium and potassium were common in hypothyroid patients, also because the parathyroid is so close to the thyroid it's practically inevitable that it will be affected as well, and it's been clear to me for some time that I have a mineral imbalance as I feel the constant need to take the "4" but not always in the same amount.  During my previous thyroiditis attack soaking my feet a few times in hot water with Epsom Salt took my palpitations away but this time magnesium was not helping much, and when I took calcium I felt better.  But another day after rubbing some "magnesium oil" on it started to calm down.  I've also had to play with my powdered potassium bicarbonate, omitting it entirely some days, so naturally, I'd prefer for my own body to regulate them itself.  

I had wondered about raw milk products because I've bought organic cream cheese a couple of times and did not react to it with worsened nasal congestion like it was happening with the regular one, maybe next time I go to the health food store I'll buy some raw milk cheddar instead of the even more expensive goat gouda I've been buying in very small chunks as a very special treat, so thanks for posting that!

I agree that a healthy liver is key and your opinion reinforces the thought that I need to address that above all.  I'm very afraid of liver flushes though so I'm going to stick with something else.  I'd been taking Triphala but it really doesn't seem to be helping much or maybe I'd just not been taking enoug...  I was and doing castor oil packs but tgot tired of that so I stopped and only restarted last week.  They did help, especially when I started feeling pressure and/or aches on the upper right side of my abdomen and I had gotten better, but then I regressed and lately I've gotten worse, maybe because I'd been eating a lot of regular butter, the only dairy product that didn't seem to obviously bother me.  But I think the gluten/casein eating is what has done a number on me each and every time so  I've vowed to "clean up my act" for good and have begun eating organic foods too.  I bought an "OTC" milk thistle supplement and plan to order a better one online, hopefully with other liver supporting ingredients, I'm also going to order Dr. Christopher's Liver & Gall Bladder Cleanse because it sounded good as I'm sure I must have stones.  The other night after I put on my castor oil pack I developed an ache that lasted for hours so I think the pack caused one of them to try to pass through and it got kind of stuck, but the next day the ache was gone.  I'd felt a less intense ache before and then put the pack on and it made it go away, this was the first time the ache came after I put the pack on.  I also noticed that after my attacks began unless I had a digestive enzyme (w/ox bile) my gut would begin to grumble right after a meal and I'd need to go to the bathroom soon after, some days I had several BMs but sometimes felt worse rather than better, my impression was of being pretty toxic, so I've stuck with OP at least once a day.

Thanks, I'm a great believer in magnesium and have taken it in different forms since 1983. I also take Vit. D (2,000 IU) almost daily, sometimes instead of my softgels I just take a tablespoon of cod liver oil so I can get Vit. A too.  But I think I neglected calcium in recent times because at one point it seemed to me I needed magnesium more than calcium.  Balancing all the supplements I take gets a little difficult sometimes, especially now that I'm hypothyroid again.
