Its partly thyroid, of course. I tried a lot of iodine in various forms and didn't tolerate it well, it would make it not even worth taking because I would get so could that I couldn't even sleep at one point.

It kinda doesn't help that I live in a place where the temperatures are extreme, very hot in the day and cold at night...very cold in the winter, at least when you live like I live but I manage and I wouldn't move unless I had to.

Its getting better though. I think I was zinc deficient because since I've started supplementing zinc about 6 weeks ago I notice a lot of changes. I suspected high copper and was afraid to use too many isolated supplements but I believe some are necessary at times, but not good long term. Since excess copper is excreted in the bile it can prevent dietary zinc from being absorbed so its a hard deficiency to overcome without good amounts of zinc, as zinc and copper work in a balance like calcium and magnesium.

Still struggling a bit but feeling so much happier mentally which makes all the difference.

Thanks a bunch for your interest and wanting to help, I appreciate it!
