      @Kendra363 i am currently on a synthetic t4/t3 combo. I tried armour thyroid for one month and I was not feeling any better, losing hair and was very tired :( it’s possible I was on the wrong dose…

      What type of medication are you on? For me I was having normal labs and still very sick when on synthetic medication. Not all doctors know this but not everyone can process synthetic meds. I am one of them. I have to take pig thyroid. It's almost identical to human thyroid

      Tight blood sugar control is my first thought. And work on optimizing nutrition.

        @Dia do you have any specific suggestions? I tend to have low blood sugar. Any dietary recommendations? Thank you.

          @Hypohelp I don't know what your diet looks like so my first suggestion is to focus on real, whole, minimally processed foods. After that try to include a protein or healthy fat with each meal or snack you eat. That will help avoid sugar spikes and crashes.
