I have had severe hypothyroid problems for the past 3 years. I have seen several specialists and no one has been able to help. Also tried numerous combinations of thyroid prescriptions and my body has rejected them all.

I am a thyroid patient since 15 years. I have tremors in my head and I'm nervous all the time.

Early on in 2010 I caught a cold that just wouldn't go away. Every month I had to see the doctor at least twice a month. Then I started feeling almost all the symptoms of hypothyroidism (I didn't know it then), friends and colleagues started commented on my "puffy" face and weight gain. Then I went for a physical checkup in July 2010 and discovered that my thyroid was almost destroyed. Now, almost all the symptoms have reappeared and I am at a complete loss.

My throat hurts often, has a raspy sound often and I work out with a high impact program. I lose and gain the same weight. I get tired easily; have to take a nap everyday sometimes 3 hours straight.
