A few months ago, I had tachycardia, hot flashes, and felt bad in general. When I first tried Tyromax (four drops), it felt great and worked well for two days before I had an adrenaline reaction, after which I could not even tolerate two drops a day. That is, until I took small bit of cynomel in February, which lowered my tachycardia and adrenaline so effectively that I could then tolerate some NDT.
Since then, for the past 1.5 months, I have taken daily:
-25 mg cynomel, recently cut down to 20
-7 drops of tyromax, recently cut down to 6
Blood Numbers in October 2020 (before taking any thyroid):
Total Cholesterol: 206 (Standard Range <200 mg/dL)
Triglyceride: 97 (Standard Range <150 mg/dL)
HDL Cholesterol: 58 (Standard Range >40 mg/dL)
LDL Cholesterol: 129 (Standard Range<130 mg/dL)
TSH: 1.32 (Standard Range 0.34 - 4.82 uIU/mL)
Glucose: 106 (Standard Range 70 - 100 mg/dL)
Blood Numbers April 17, 2021 (taking 6-7 drops Tyromax plus 20 mcg cynomel, neither dosed prior to taking the test that day)
Total Cholesterol: 184 (dropped 22, Standard Range <200 mg/dL)
Triglyceride: 92 (dropped 5, Standard Range <150 mg/dL)
HDL Cholesterol: 40 (dropped 18, Standard Range >40 mg/dL)
LDL Cholesterol: 126 (dropped 3, Standard Range<130 mg/dL)
TSH: 0.08 (dropped 1.24, Standard Range 0.34 - 4.82 uIU/mL)
Glucose: 103 (dropped 3, Standard Range 70 - 100 mg/dL)
Highlights/Questions:
-Cholesterol dropped 22, down to 184. Is this a good level to have cholesterol, when supplementing thyroid? I know Dr. Peat speaks highly of high cholesterol, but what is an ideal cholesterol level while supplementing thyroid? Was it better to have it at 206?
-HDL dropped a lot, from 58 to 40. Is this a good thing?
-TSH down from 1.32 to 0.08. Is this to be expected with thyroid supplementation? Is it a good thing when thyroid supplementation lowers your TSH so much?
Clearly the Tyromax is affecting my body. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these changes. Thanks.
