Thanks for your comments healthyartist. When you say that armour spiraled you into this mess, can you elaborate? How high was your TSH when you started it? Once off of it how did you turn things around?
Here are the answers to your questions:
I take a custom combo that was made for me by a doctor based on vit/mineral deficineces determind through testing. It does include B vitamins - 150mg of B5 in particular and all other vitamin minerals with emphasis on the ones good for adrenals and thyroid. I went on this 2 years ago when in better health than I am now. I also take extra magnesium glycinate, probiotics.
I was taking adrenasense but its now making my hypoglycemia worse. Turns out the things in it like siberian ginseng are not recommended for hypoglycemia.
I just started iron because my ferritin was low.
I haven't eaten Sugar in over 10 years. I am a celiac and am gluten free. I eat 100% oragnic, nothing refined. Basically veggies, organic meat, wild caught fish and gluten free grains suh as quinoa and buckwheat.
I think I got this way due to years and years of candida and food allergies . However, I have been working on my digestion for years and it is now quite good and I did candida and paraiste cleanses and Liver Flushes etc. I used to have acid reflux, bloating and constipation, lack of bile flow etc. Now all of those symtoms are gone. I am quite sure the candida is gone as I feel completely different in that regard.
I think my problem is stress. I developed panic disorder while going through all of thiss because I was so stressed battling the candida for years and having my life restricted by allergies plus my doctor says that candida is a huge strain on both the thyroid and adrenals.
The problem is that I went to a group for panic disorder, they say stress can't hurt you etc. but whenenver I try to implement the pracrices the stress gets worse(which it's supposed to) but then I get really ill so I feel I can't win. I truly beleive I had subclinical hypothyroid for years and that if it had been treated I wouldn't be having the problems I have now. The diet/supplements kept my symtoms at bay but now are not enough.
I also find going to practioners (Ive been to about 12 over the years) and being told differnt things and not to eat this or that because it is toxic has caused me to become afraid of what I ingest and what I do. I can't enjoy myself because I'm worried I'm not resting enough etc. I just find it all so scary.
