[QUOTE="Mikeyp6679, post: 154431, member: 15417"] Need some advice with some side effects guys. Had a thread in the bloodwork forum but figured this would be more appropriate here. The numbers prior to beginning protocol: Free T3 - 1.3 pg/ml (ref 2.0 - 4.4) Free T4 - .82 ng/dl (ref .82 - 1.77) TSH - 1.180 uIU/mL (ref .45 - 4.5) Thyroglobulin Antibody - <1 IU/mL (ref 0.0 - 0.9) Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab - 12 IU/mL (ref 0-34) Reverse T3 - 23.1 ng/dL (ref 9.2 - 24.1) Been on protocol since 7/5. Started with 2 pills of t3/t4 (9mcg/38mcg each), and have titrated up to 2 in am 1 early afternoon. Symptoms of fatigue and low energy have improved a little I'd say but not quite there yet...but the noticable fat gain in midsection and water retention has me very concerned. Up almost 10 pounds. Extremeries are swelling a little too...fine in am and by the end of the day it's worse. Does this make sense to anyone? Or do I have other serious health issues I need to investigate? It's got me in the absolute dumps. Also, diet and thyroid. Is there a better approach with macro breakdown? Low carb better etc? I'm confused with the metabolism and thyroid meds...once a dosage has been established does that just define and set your metabolism for you? Would you lose the body's ability to self regulate? I know its complicated and I'm sure I'm oversimplifying it. [/QUOTE]
