Dear eawittman, I just joined the Empowher family and read your posting and wanted to share a great book I read a couple of years ago: The Thyroid Solution by Ridha Arem, MD. He is a nationally known endocrinologist that has presented the world with a new perspective on Thyroid Disease. I few years ago I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and was prescribed Synthroid. Even on the low dosage I had several side effects. Then I came across Dr. Arem's book and it saved me. I did not even know that my diet was contributing to my slow functioning thyroid. Did you know that too much broccoli can actually affect your thyroid. Sure enough my diet contained tons of it. So, once I made the adjustments to my diet my thyroid got well. In addition to that I was able to learn the difference between slow functioning thyroid and adrenal fatigue. I had both and I did not know it. You may want to consider reading the book. I am sure it is available in any of those online bookstores.
