I have successfully utilized BH4 for gastroporesis.
Often with the thyroid, the patients are deficient in t4-t3 conversion nutrients such as selenium, iodine, zinc. If it is manganese, I start searching upstream to the pituitary or hypothalamus.
Before increasing thyroid meds, consider if your adrenals are doing enough to support your thyroid. And, gut microbiome!
Jennifer, I have many of the same symptoms as you and found a surprising solution. I also have autoimmune issues - I've been diagnosed as Celiac, I'm on Synthyroid because of a total thyroidectomy and now I have Osteopenia. I stopped dying my hair 10 years ago because no matter how organic or natural the dye, I wanted to rip my scalp off for weeks after. I still have some itching sometimes but not to the same degree.
However, this past year I noticed that it is worse during a full moon and starts ramping up the week prior and slowly dissipates the week after. I decided to do parasite cleansing for those 3 weeks and it has made a world of difference. I took Well of Life's Parapurify pills for a month and I now take them monthly during those 2 weeks. If I don't take it, my scalp starts itching intensely again. I have also added zinc and a quality vitamin and mineral supplement daily. My hair loss has slowed down ( I was losing handfuls daily) and my eyelashes have stopped falling out.
Have you tried Natural Dessicated Thyroid. T4 only is not optimun treatment. There is a body of work by Janie Hasthorpe called “Stop the Thyroid Madness”. Web page and on FB.
Thanks Dianne. I will check her out. I also follow Dr. Child's, Forefront Health, The Bone Coach and Dr. Osborne who have discussed Synthroid T4 vs Natural Dessicated Thyroid with T3 and T2. Unfortunately, I am Canadian and the 2 Endocrinologists I have had since my thyroid removal refused to give me natural thyroid or test anything other then TSH. I cannot even order or pay for a complete thyroid panel unless I go to the US. Doctors appear to be handcuffed here to the Pharmaceutical Syndicate and their hospital overlords. To find a doctor here willing to find the actual problem and rectify it, (versus simply treating the symptoms with T4, tell you you are "in range" , get paid and move on) is extremely challenging not to mention frustrating.
We can always count on you for some amazing coffee recipes! Although I don't need another excuse to drink it. Great idea to put in baking soda for a potassium boost. Re: thyroid, remember if you hold your phone up to your neck area, the RF and blue light can disrupt TSH via the leptin-melanocortin pathway(by way of the melanin receptors we have in our skin)
Thanks so much for the ElectroHealth Rx mention! By the way, we're starting up our free EMF webinars again this Thursday. Would love to have you join us!

Thanks, very interesting.

Thanks. I hadn't spent time yet on seeking a different source than standard meds.

I also want to thank you for your posts. I look forward to reading them and often learn something new. 💜
Glad to hear that!
