internal shaking

Hi, I had RAI so require thyroid replacement.
I am in menopause as well at 53.
I have had internal shakiness which is most noticeable at night.
Endro wanted to keep me on my syn thyroid and just decrease by 1/2 pill one day a week.
I went to a new MD who works with hormones and he put me on armor, plus a combo patch plus testosterone.
I got off the patch and testosterone, hot flashes and irritableness.
I still feel inside shakiness. Now he is upping my dose of Armor and I am thinking, I can't take any more of this pulsing. I found another web-site that said this "pulsing" is menopausal, but I am reading on this sight, that it is a hyperthyroid. I am frustrated and extremely uncomfortable, foggy and unmotivated.
I am resisting the idea of more Armor and now am wondering if I need to go where the doctor will address the Adrenal issues or maybe just begin my own supplement support.

Thanks. I feel like I have an internal quivering all the time. I notice it worse when I am not busy and especially at night when trying to sleep. I was experiencing this while on Synthyoid, and the doc said maybe it was a T3 issue, so we are trying Armor.

The following is this weeks blood test report.
TSH 0.01 L mIU/L IG
Reference Range > or = 20 Years 0.40-4.50

T4, FREE 1.0     listed the following as normal 0.8-1.8 ng/dL IG
T3, FREE 5.4 H  listed the following as normal 2.3-4.2 pg/mL IG

Also checked my Vit D:

VITAMIN D, 25-OH, D3 51 ng/mL

VITAMIN D, 25-OH, D2 <4 ng/mL

Stated with the Vit D : VITAMIN D, 25-HYDROXY, IG LC/MS/MS
VITAMIN D, 25-OH, TOTAL 51  listing range 30-100 ng/mL
25-OHD3 indicates both endogenous production and
supplementation. 25-OHD2 is an indicator of exogenous
sources, such as diet or supplementation. Therapy is
based on measurement of Total 25-OHD, with levels
or = 30 ng/mL.

Can you be more specific, as to what you are calling "internal shaking" or "pulsing"?  

If you have current thyroid labs, including TSH, Free T3 and Free T4, please post them, along with their reference ranges, which vary from lab to lab, so must come from your own report.  Your labs will give us a better idea of what's going on.
