SPHL don't wish to depress you any more but the treatment for thyroid problems seems to be a Black Art.

My missus has a underactive thyroid and the treatment prescribed was increased incrementally until a desired blood reading was found. She went from being as lethargic as a dope smoker to as wired as a cokehead! She then took it into her own hands in the end and varied her pill intake until she felt OK. She'll be taking them for the rest of her days as I understand it. This was after going through the rigmarole of seeing a GP then a specialist and finally a third specialist.
