I was wondering about anyone experiencing side effects from using Licorice in place of Florinef?

Thank you so much for your responses. I have my thyroid checked every 2 months because it is sometimes erratic. I appreciate your feedback. I have tried all the things you listed. I had IV saline for 1/5 years 2x a week, but this ruined my veins and I can no longer do anything that involves my veins, especially since having COVID, they are in worse shape. I also see a Functional Doctor and an Endo. The functional doctor does not know what to do and the Endo just tries to push drugs for Osteoporosis which I won't do due to my strong reactions and these things just bring on a stronger flare. I am not sure what the range was for Renin and Aldosterone. I don't remember them testing for Angiotensin. However, the drugs they use for these, so far, do not agree with me, so I am trying to find something natural. Quercitin is a methyl donor and unfortunately does not work for me. I take Vitamin C. I am on the fence regarding Melatonin. I am going to try Licorice. There is some Licorice in my Iberogast and I do fine with that. I take Thiamine and I think it helps me with motility. All wonderful ideas, thanks again!!!

I have experienced rapid weight loss during a flare for many years. I realized years ago, (after keeping track of water intake vs. output) this is water loss - not a problem with food or absorption - I love to eat. High calorie diets have no effect. Salt has no effect. I am intolerant to Meds. I also have Mast Cell Activation and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. After getting COVID twice (could not get vaccine due to allergic reaction to preservatives) I have been in a flare and am now 84 pounds and I am 5'4. Weather changes in the fall always bring on 9-11 pounds of weight/water loss in a 2-month time period, but I usually gain it back in the Spring. Since COVID, I have never recovered the weight. I am also not able to get blood drawn which I usually have regularly due to severe dehydration. Blood tests for Copectin and Aldosterone are normal. Severe insomnia 1-4 hrs of sleep a night have plagued me for 20 years. I Have extremely severe Osteoporosis, gut issues, but according to my bloodwork every thing is great. I am not a candidate for TPN. I am still losing weight. There is really nothing Drs. can do which is perfectly understandable. Any suggestions for any natural products or supplements which might help.
