Feel like I'm going in reverse

Well, it's been an interesting couple of months. I quit taking Synthroid around the beginning of September after learning my t4 levels were quite high. And, I had been feeling my heart race more and feeling more jittery in the morning. The first day I quit taking it I was extra jittery and had heart palpitations while helping out at the school. Had to go lay down in the nurses office -- very embarrassing. After being off it a couple months, I had my thyroid levels tested again and this time antibodies as well. My TSH was at .009, but T3 and T4 levels normal. Antibodies were a bit high though. Doctor suggested Hashimoto's and prescribed Armour Thyroid at a low dose. I felt worse after taking it. Took it for about a week, but every morning my heart rate was pretty fast and woke up with headaches for 3 days, so decided to quit taking it. I feel like I'm going back in time to when my heart was really racy all the time. Not good. I need to try something different because this thyroid treatment I'm getting is just not working. I tried taking the Alpha Lipoic Acid for a couple of weeks, but didn't notice any difference, except for the second day I took it I was driving and my head started feeling really fuzzy, kind of pre-syncope. Had to pull the car over and get out and jump around a bit and I drank some water that was in the car. That seemed to help get my blood pressure up enough that I felt okay to finish driving and pick up the kids from school. That is one of my biggest frustrations with all of this is not feeling like I can drive very much because I don't know when I'm going to feel weird. I'm not sure where to turn. I made an appointment with another doctor who uses "alternative" treatment who my neighbor recommended. Also considering the Boydston Institute after reading about their take on Hashimoto's (http://www.drboydston.com/thyroid.html). I really need to get to a more functional level again.
