Hi all. Just got bloodwork back and this time I took a very small dose of T3 before going as my doc wanted to see what my peak was.
4 hours after taking 5mcg of t3 my levels are 5.5.
I also have super high ALT - 35.
Other notable markers...
Protein down from 6 to 5.8 - I have historically low protein numbers as i have always had bad digestion. However this past year of "Peating" been struggling BIG with muscle loss since having covid 18 months ago. I am 52 yr old woman, long time hypothyroid and after a year I am not apparently hyperthyoid and burning more muscle than ever before. I feel like I am wasting away before my very eyes.
I consume currently 1950 calories a day, 205G carbs, 65 G Fat and 135 g protein. I have been at 125 g protein for years and always have horrible serum protein numbers as well as super low creatinine numbers.
Just hoping this current dip could be due to pushing metabolic function too much? Can too much t3 be catabolic? Can it raise liver enzymes? My T4 looks normal for the first time in 18 months
Any advice is welcome. Also @haidut mentioned at some point he has docs on here that take new patients but when I called them they never returned calls, if anyone knows of a smart functional doc I would love that info as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
