Tried to get in more but it just was not possible, been having lots of muscle fatigue and just plan tiredness. I start some new thyroid medication in the morning and some other supplements so hopefully things will turn around. 

Just was wondering if any of you have opinions on homeopathic medicine?

If thyroid is part of the picture: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com ... changed my life. Also, more vitamin D! Seven hours of sleep? For me, that would not get me through the day - my 2c. Take care and I hope your get it figured out. :) Snoq

Snoq, thanks for the link. If you don't mind me asking... What do you take for your thyroid? I went to a natural heath center and they told me to get on armour thyroid. My Endro. doc switch me and I started taking it today... so I'll see in a few weeks if it makes any difference. The natural health people told me that my adrenals are not working well and gave me stuff to help that, like I said I'll see how I feel after a few weeks of this regimen.

Yes - Armour Thyroid is my new best friend. I also had some severe adrenal stuff going on. PM me if you would like more details; I'm not comfortable posting it publicly but I'm happy to tell you about it. :)

Homeopathic medicine is great stuff for LOTS of stuff. I am one who goes to different types of doc's for different things. I am not anti traditional medical field, nor am I anti homeopathic. There is much good on both sides of the fence and equally as much quackery. I really like to find true healers no matter the discipline. They are pretty easy to identify, usually in the first visit, but sometimes it takes a few times. The healers have a special spirit around them. The very worst are the non-healer doctors & surgeons who got into medicine for who knows why. You can spot one of them from a mile away! Non-healer chiropractors are #2 on my list!

Sorry, that was kind of long!
