That is one of the best places for thyroid info, it was my starting point and I go back there often. What was your TSH? What is your FREE T3? FREE T4? If they are on the "high" side of normal then continue to look into thyroid. My TSH started at 10.8 and I now have it down to 2.8 but my T3 and T4 are still on the high side so I am still working on it. I am on desicated natural hormone and believe it is better than synthetic hormones dr's like. Took awhile and fired 2 dr's before I found one to work with me with desicated hormone meds.

Is my pn better.

Million dollar question. Yes. No. Depends what day you ask. The numb spot is getting better, not so numb but even that seems to change with the day. When I first got on Benfotiamine it was a miracle for me and seemed to alleviate all symptoms but now they are back...but it could be that it is winter. Winter seems to have made everything worse...or so it seems. Im heading back to florida in February, guess I will see if warmer temps help.

I never lost my balance. I did have brain fog that thyroid meds have cleared up. I use to be in complete pain when I stood for any amount of time but now that pain is gone. The horrid pain in my heels is gone. My worse symptom is the burning which starts at night.

Some days I have feelings that everything is getting worse. Some days everything is getting better. Attitude, thoughts, faith and prayer all affect my outlook and outcome.

MrsD said thyroid never gets back to complete normal and lingering affects could be permanent. I am praying and asking God to heal me completely and I believe that can happen.
