Hi, I don't know if you are open to some extraordinary advice but I'll write it anyway. I used to have low thyroids, too. Probably not as serious as yours. It was slightly under the edge of being low but it was causing a many of the symptoms like a slower metabolism than a normal person, feeling tired and having joint pains after a few minutes of walking, cold feet&hands even at summer, a pale skin and the worst was feeling depressed all the time.... So I made a lot of research about it and found some solutions to fix it as much as I could.
1-Minimize all the stress factors that you can controll.
2-Do not eat brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, kale, peaches, pears, any food that have anti thyroid substances and limit the soy products at your diet..
3- Take vit A, Calcium, Megnesium and Zinc by food or by supplements
4-Eat fresh dill(a Mediterenean Herb) 3 times a day before the meals. And put it on top of every possible meal like yogurt, cucumbers, chicken etc. It helps the thyroid imbalances and increases the speed of slow metabolism caused by low thyroid levels. I tried it when I was on SBD last year and worked great.
