Also everyone thyroid therapy will have a negative effect on your adrenal glands and their is always the issue of balacning thyroid and adrenals. The thyroid controls the metabolic rate and the adrenals have to handle the stress of the extra metabolic function. If thyroid doses are high and adrenals are stressed or burnt out you end up feeling like crap again.

So i would use some adaptogenic herbs with my thyroid meds. Particularly - Siberian Gingseng, Panax Gingseng, Astralagus Membrecanus, Licorice Root, schizandra chinesis. You can usually get all these in a tonic.

Finally Zinc, Selenium and Iodine are the most imporant minerals for the thyroid gland. So levels of these should be checked via blood and urine in anyone with hashimoto's.

Selenium has been proven to reduce Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies at 200mcg per day for a couple of months.

Hope this helps. If anyone needs any more info feel free to PM me, i would love to help.
