Just given up Pt2

A follow up from my previous post

Hello lovely people - I firstly want to say thank you for all your lovely kind words regarding this post. It was very much appreciated.

Sadly, I still feel no better, my health physically and mentally is failing and I am not sure I have enough strength left to fight with.

I still can't work out whether I am over medicated or not, as the trembling (inside, usually my left hand , but not all the time, seems to be in phases and then passes) is the only thing that makes me think I might be. I am still outing on weight, despite my poor diet, still anorexic in my eating, so that's why I still feel I must be undermedicated. Sometimes if I am stood up for long periods in the day, my legs swell up and become very uncomfortable. I can press into my calves, or ankles and they leave a indent for a long while afterwards. /I still have all my hypo symptoms, but I am taking my T3, at the same dose as before (when I was well last year,) but is the Thybon 20 Henning different to the Tiromel? Should it make such a difference? I am trying to get back up to my Adrenavive dose that I was taking before, but I am not sure if that would be what's making me shake? I just feel so ill. I feel tired all the time, thirsty, irritable, bloated, hot or cold, craving sugar upon sugar and struggling to focus, concentrate or just move about without need to sit down or sleep. Except at night or course, when I just can't get to sleep at all!

Would going back to Tiromel be worth trying? My money is very tight, but I am so desperate for something to work! Could I be deficient in anything? Where is the best place to go for it? (Please PM me, I don't want my post to be switched off to replies!) Is it worth seeing my Private Endo to see if he can change my private prescription to Tiromel, is that even possible?

Where is the best place to get my bloods tested? Maybe for any vitamin or mineral deficiencies?

Finally, I promise, how do I know whether my adrenals are working or not? I am so chronically stressed all of the time, so how do I know my cortisol level is right? Can you be really stressed and low cortisol? I don't understand. I do feel slightly less stressed when I take my Adrenavive, but that's not right, is it?

Thank you very much
