Re: Really need some advice...Thanks so much.
The majority of your symptoms definitely indicate a hypothyroid state. The hard part is trying to find the cause of the hypothyroidism. Here is something I wrote earlier on hypothyroidism:
As for hypothyroidism again this has numerous causes. This can be hypothalamus/pituitary dysfunction, chlorine, fluoride or bromine exposure,
Iodine deficiency, hormone imbalances, adrenal dysfunction, poor T4 to T3 conversion, high rT3 levels, chronic stress, and Hashimoto's thyroidosis (autoimmunity). Throwing
Iodine at hypothyroidism is not always going to help since this will only work in a handful of causes of hypothyroidism.
There are several things you could try for the hypothyroidism to see if they help. In particular ashwagandha and
Iodine for starters. Nettle leaf and forskohlii are also helpful for the thyroid.
Lack of sex drive can also have various causes including high progesterone levels, low testosterone levels, elevated prolactin levels to name a few.
