Also cold limbs is a symptom of low thyroid levels.

Congrats on being able to go off your thyroid meds! I have a friend who has thyroid disease and she struggles so much to keep herself in balance. Seems the docs are constantly adjusting her meds. You will get the eating under control once you get your body used to the new norm.

LOL - no slaps. I have thyroid and take medicine, too. May I ask why you went off? I have hypothyroid after treatment for Graves Disease (too fast) so I will likely be on a combination T4 and T3 medication for a long time - but all doses have been reduced with my weight loss.

Went off because never really knew why I was on it to start with. Different Doctor started me on it 5 years ago. said it was suppose to be 5 something and It was right at 6. Never understood this, but I know this is when the weight started being a problem. So I asked new doctor about why I was on it and she said to stop taking it and see if anything changed. I tried to stop before just cold turkey and that is when I developed vertigo. She said cold hands and feet, if they have always been cold, and they have for like 30 years or more, it was circulation, so take more vit. E.

I take an herbal thyroid support multi from Alice Foods (amazon) that I think is an excellent tonic.
