katycoyote,

Your story is pretty much my story. I too went to the site stopthethyroidmaddness.com and found it to be EXCEPTIONAL when it comes to information about thyroid.

I am on Nature-throid, the desicated meds. My TSH was a 10.8 and came down to a 2.5 (or near that i cant remember exact at this moment). I am so very happy I fought hard to use desicated thyroid meds. It came down like that and I am only on 1/2 grain (broken up to 2 times a day).

However, as you said, I still have neuropothy in my feet. However, the numb spot on the back of my heal is definately getting better, almost all feeling has returned. BUT I would rather have the numb spot than this horrid burning.

Benfotiamine helps me the most.
