My TSH has doubled and my thyroid levels are bottom of their respective ranges.
I want to pick up some thyroid for as needed use. I have scoured the forum and while I know it is individual, I cant seem to find a pattern as to why someone should start with a t3 versus a t3/t4 combo? I see recommendations, but no reasons as to why and I don't understand it as well as others.
Is there a reason I should NOT use one of them to start? I understand how t3 is immediate and t4 takes time to build up, but I don't know what the correct choice to alleviate my body so it can start to progress and recover.
My labs are worse than my last, I just got the PRL test done finally so I know that as it falls will hopefully allow me to feel better. I am planning on having Cypro and Lisuride on hand.
My issue is coming off of all these stressors I am anticipating feeling like crap.
How does one decide to use one versus the other.
I am 33, male, ex chronic exerciser etc.. My food and nutrition is otherwise good to support it
TSH - 2.72 (up from 1.29 in april of 2017)
T4 free .90 (range of .8 to 1.8)
T3 .91 (range of 75-165)
Vit D 27 (down oddly from 39 in april 2017 - though ive been supplementing and tanning here and there - working on this)
B12 1700
Test 550 (down from 630 in april 2017)
Free test 19.25 (range of 5-21)
Fr Test %(bound?) 3.5 (1.5 - 4.2)
CRP .47 (range .20 - 10.0
Prolactin 18.2 (range 0 - 17ng/ml)
Can I get some insight please?
