Hi all
I am concerned about my sister-in-law's health. Several years ago she was diagnosed with hyothyroidism. She started on Synthroid but did not tolerate it well and is now taking Armour. Some of her symptoms improved (her lab work comes back normal) but she has extreme fatigue, temors, depression, headaches, high cholestral, heartburn, dry hair, brown patches on face, ringing in ears, very poor memory and craves sweets. She is unable to work (is on disability)and sleeps more than she's awake. She is on multiple heavy-duty medications (a total of 11) including Valtrex. I believe she is overmedicated and some of her symptoms may be side effects but I also think that she may have Adrenal Fatigue. How do you think I should approach her? She is quite passive about medical care and not very open to new ideas. She has had a long history of poor eating habits. She is 52 yrs. old. She does not smoke or drink alcohol.
