Unfortunately this forum doesn't get a lot of traffic. However, there are many people who frequent the main boards who are very knowledgeable about thyroid issues.
I highly recommend the Stop the Thyroid Madness website that Nancy shared above. It has been a HUGE help to me as I have tried to heal. The website is a little disjointed and daunting, but it's worth the hunt.
I had my thyroid removed Sept. 2012. I was fortunate that I was able to lose to goal on Atkins even before being diagnosed. I did do the <entire> diet, climbing the carb ladder and all. I have read many sources that say that people with thyroid problems should be having at least 50 carbs per day. I seem to do well at a higher carb level.
I am taking NP Thyroid, which is a natural dessicated thyroid as recommended on the above website. I am also taking a slew of vitamins and minerals. It took me a couple of months to get things optimized, but I finally feel better than I have in several years.
I hope you are able to get things figured out and find what works for you. It's no fun to be in bad health.
