I am just a couple of years older than you. We sound similar in that I too
tried progesterone cream (didn't do anything for me) and Vitex! So I know
all about the merry-go-round of herb/remedy of the month. I shudder when I
think of all the money I wasted when a small amount of Armour could have
saved me lots of agony as well as money. I also know the frusteration of
following a "pristine" diet and still not feeling great.
You need to simplify and try one new thing at a time or else you won't know
what's working. At one time a practitioner prescribed Armour based on lab
results -- and thyroid affects all hormonal systems, so a deficiency or
imbalance with your thyroid gland is certainly a plausible culprit for your
discomfort.
Good luck and let us know what happens.
