Since starting the journey of using thyroid hormone to treat the symptoms of low body temperature, fatigue and joint pain, using NDT, T4, T4+T3, T3 only, I only get as a result loss of lean body mass (feeling weak at the gym), and my skin have aged a lot, whit big nasolabial folds.
The truth is that thyroid only make me tired.
Without thyroid, my TSH goes to 4 to 5, FreeT4 gets low, but still on the reference range, but I never get a FreeT3 below 70%, my FreeT3 is on 70% of the reference range without thyroid, so I am not T3 deficient.
The problem is my cholesterol, my LDL is close to 300, HDL is fine, at 70.
Also, my Ferritin is 230, my transferrin is below range, and the PCR protein, that is a marker of inflammation, is very low, so it looks like iron overload.
So, the only markers that I find in blood are high ferritin, high cholesterol, and high Methyl Malonic acid.
My pulse is fine (75-85), and my major symptoms are liquid sperm, joint pain, and general fatigue.
The only thing that increases my temperature are caffeine.
My question: is anything besides Thyroid that increases the cholesterol??
What besides thyroid lowers body temperature?
I am giving up on thyroid, this is not for me. I can’t tolerate it.
