@BeADocToGoTo1 -I appreciate all your suggestions. I have my thyroid checked twice a year and an ultrasound every other. I take Levothyroxine but have tried NP Thyroid Andrew it didn’t make a difference.
I hardly take any supplements now. I was taking quite a few in the past year that the Functional Medicine doctor had me doing.
She also had me eating certain foods in case some were causing inflammation.
I eat very well....coffee is my worse vice but I only drink two cups in the morning.

I feel like my body is an alien...it never feels right. I feel like adrenaline is constantly flowing.
What I really want to find out from the counselor/therapist is if I truly am depressed or the constant fatigue is just CFS. So many doctors have told me different things and I just want to know what a specialist opinion is rather than what my PCP says.

Since I really can’t tolerate anti depressants it I guess doesn’t matter since I can’t take them and would have to try and resolve it other ways.
I take melatonin every night 1mg.

My sleep is junk....I never feel well rested. I will post on Tuesday after the appointment.
I like what you said about your body feeling like an alien....never feeling quite right anymore!

If you try it, would you leaf me a message?

Sorry: I was following this but then got lost....what is it your refering to trying?

This body measures very very little or no NO-3 using saliva strips. My husband generates Magenta.

Perhaps I should be looking into manganese.....
