I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am struggling with the treatment. I've tried a few different brands of thyroid medication, but they all seem to give me headaches, make me gassy, burp a lot, and I just feel restless. It's really hard to deal with. Even when I try taking other supplements, I get the same symptoms. I've also noticed I can't drink tea or coffee or eat mutton anymore. My TSH level is at 150, and I've stopped taking the medication. What should I do?
