I can’t quite relate, but my wife was diagnosed with a thyroid condition and the doctor wanted to kill her thyroid and put her on synthroid for the rest of her life. She did some research and concluded she had a sulfite allergy. She told the doctor, who smirked and somewhat condescendingly told her she had hypothyroidism. My wife decided to just avoid sulfites. All the symptoms went away. She’s very glad she didn’t listen to her doctor, who just wanted to follow the standard routine and process her through. The symptoms of a faulty thyroid and sulfite allergies are very similar. I wonder how many people have had their thyroid killed for no good reason.
