> I have noticed that I seem to have a yearly "symptom" cycle. Right around August I have had anxiety and just feel generally dizzy/nausious and yucky. Then around January I have had to deal with depression and low energy. I am wondering if the thyroid can fluctuate between a little too high and a little too low throughout the year.
Have you considered Seasonal Affective Disorder (the acronym SAD is very appropriate)?
It may be related to: light exposure, and thus melatonin synthesis in the pineal gland; vitamin D status (sunlight on skin is the major source of this vitamin); diet changes due to seasonal availability of foods.
