I'm glad to hear that you have had some improvement! It gives me hope. I feel like until I find out what is causing this I can't move forward. My thyroid is only 3.13. I agree about the winter thing. During the summer even though my symptoms continued to progress overall they weren't as intense. The cold has made it worse. I also noticed that when it's that time of the month they seem to worsen as well. Do you have that going on? I don't mean to get to personal but I am really enjoying having someone to talk to about this. It's incredibly helpful and I really appreciate it. Do you recommend taking vitamins for now? It's weird because I am hesitant to get up and walk around for fear of the uncomfortable feeling. And if I do push myself to walk or exercise the next day I pay for it X3. I read somewhere though that even if it hurts you are supposed to keep trying to get exercise. I'm just so scared I'm going to end up in a wheel chair or something.
