I agree that thyroid and various other possibilities should be looked at. And for thyroid to be explored properly, you almost surely need to learn about it and advocate for yourself. Most docs and labs are waaaay behind.

As for the B12 deficiency possibility. There is no way you can rely on B12 deficiency being the cause, or on any type of B12 treatment eliminating the problems.

However, B12 treatment is a very good idea, as it is safe, inexpensive and may be at least part of what you need. Good insurance.

I also am not impressed with the patch. Looks to me like just another slick marketing campaign designed to relieve people of their money.

I would get myself a good brand of oral methylcobalamin and take it in doses of AT LEAST 1000 mcg.
