Thx Bex, Mati and Bann, Wow I didn't know that if you had merc illness that would do something to the hypothalmus to where the blood tests come up normal for thyroid! That was actually quite encouraging to me; to know that maybe Im not crazy like the Drs think I am or just a hypochondriac (depressed one!). Well, I started taking "thyroid essentials" for the last two days which has ashwaghanda, bladderwrack, L tyrosine, selenium, iodine and other vits.This morning my wake up temperature was 98.1. HMMM... its been between 97.4 and 96.3 the past couple weeks. It seems thats already helping. I browsed at Vitamin Shopp today and also found a Raw Thyroid supplement (from organic bovine source) like Armour. I decided to give it a try. It was only 15 bucks. My husband was all for it especially when I told him that my sex drive is directly related to my thyroid problem. I pray it works! Thanks you guys for your insight and guidance. take care, Diane
