Hi - nice to meet you! :-)

What kind of problems would you like to talk about? Do you want to know how to make your thyroid problem more bearable? Mood swings and forgetfulness are mostly caused by wrong thyroid levels. Once thyroid levels are balanced, so you will be too as well.

What kind of thyroid lab tests have you had done and post the numbers and the ranges and we'll try to help you find that balance. I wasn't able to understand those numbers you had that showed on your page. What test was the numbers too?

Take care and looking to hear from you... :-)
