[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 138212, member: 15043"] Thanks for the replies guys. I’ve just had crazy brain fog for so long, and tried everything else to get rid of it, with no luck. With my extremely low basal temps, I’m just trying to figure out if doing a trial run with dessicated thyroid would be smart, or would be risky. Sounds like it might be worth a shot. Just took my basal temp, on 3 different thermometers, and they all came back at 96.6. The only reason I’ve been ignoring thyroid is because on paper, my labs look perfect, from what I can see. Here are all the thyroid labs I’ve ever had done. The only 2 ways to raise basal temp, from my understanding, is to treat with thyroid, or corticosteroids to raise cortisol. My cortisol always comes back on the low end, but within range. Problem is, I don’t think I’m comfortable with taking corticosteroids. Too many side effects. I’d be much more comfortable trialing dessicated thyroid. I don’t think I feel comfortable taking a synthetic thyroid supplement. I’m currently trying out pregnenolone cream from Empower to see if it helps my situation.
