Light hypothyroidism-Need competent people's opinion

[Luca999]

What do you think is my hypothyroidism? No carbohydrates at the last meal the night before the blood test the next day. No sport the night before

My MANTRA has a section on thyroid.
Spend some time researching the links.
A wealth of info.
********************************
First step is education....
********************************
Cannot tell how much research you have done on TRT.
If not a lot, I recommend you get a few books.
Get a few good books and educate yourself now:
1. Get Nelsons book "Testosterone: A Man's Guide".
2. Get Lee Myer's book "Natural Versus Testosterone Therapy".
3. Get “Testosterone for life - Dr. Abraham Morgentaller “.
4. Get “The Definitive Testosterone Replacement Therapy MANual: How to OptimizeYour Testosterone For Lifelong Health And Happiness” by Jay Campbell.
These books will give you a much better understanding of TRT....

Second step might be to have a look at your thyroid and see if any issues there.
********************************
Do some research.
I do like Tiredthyroid as a starting point.
Easy to read sections.

My two cents is, doesn't look to bad before it does. Start supplementing with iodine and selenium.

https://stopthethyroidmadness.com/selenium/

 

[Luca999]

Hello
Thank you for your answer I already selenium about 350 mcg per day and 150 -200 mcg iodine per day for 4 years. I limit gluten and lactose
Which dosage do you recommend?

 

[Luca999]

symptoms :

dry skin and rough, cracked heels
thin hair (hair loss is also common with too much thyroid)
thin eyebrows; outer third of eyebrow thin or missing
pulse below 70 or sometimes, over 90 beats per minute
morning basal temperature below 97.8 oF or 36.5 oC
constipation: bowel movements come out as hard pellets after heavy pushing
nightmares/disturbed sleep

I believe your supplements are fine. Have you ever had your reverse T3 checked, because of your symptoms you should definitely have that checked if you haven't.

 

[Luca999]

Okay thank you I will try to test that

 

[Vince]

Okay thank you I will try to test that

I just had my reverse 3T checked for the first time 8 weeks ago, I had to ask to have it checked.

can cytomel by itself be used to treat hypothyroidism

I been thinking about Iodine use and what it may do. I read that you will go hyper when you start Iodine but you are to ignore it for 6 months. If you go hyper your RT3 will go up to compensate. This may be happening to some starting DHEA as well. I have use Iodoral 12.5 and Selenium for years. I didn't have labs for RT3 from before Iodine supplementation. My RT3 is top of range now. All other labs are close to what they was before Iodine. I wonder if the Iodine causes high RT3. If that is the case we are giving job security to the Doctors recommending this protocol.

 

[Luca999]

very interesting holistic approach thanks you

I was always told not to supplement with more then 500mcg of iodine daily, at that amount you should be good.
