28 year old male. 6’4 200lbs
Recent blood draw.
Thyroid has always been a part of me for about 3 years under a doctors care. I was always on levo+liothyronine which was t4/t3 dosing(38/9 & went up to 57/12.5) (always felt great)
Over a year ago i switched to dessicated from synthetic ( had no reason to, just wanted to be more “natural” & switch to dessicated) I did feel “good” for a few months but the desicatted felt too powerful after a few months. Couldn't sleep, hot, palps. I was overdosed at one point from the doctor & decided to cut everything cold turkey
(TSH 0.1) for a full 8 months no thyroid care. It never really fixed itself. The Lowest my tsh went was 3.0. This summer
Fast forward to 3 months ago trying NP thyroid and that stuff foulded me up big time. Not sure if that t3 was too strong for me during this time or I was just allergic to it for
Some reason.
I took labs again to see if there was an improvement from last month. My TSH. 3 weeks ago was 5.6 t4 was 1.1 & t3 was a little higher at 3.5. I have terrible
dry brittle hair, hair fall, low mood & no interest in experiecing life and being more aggressive if that makes sense. & im a very active construction worker that loves all the action. This is not like me to be so down all the time. I feel so blah.
My question is.. do i wait this out or can i just take a t4 medication? I have no signs of hashis or hyperthyroid. Ultrasound shows a very healthy thyroid. I hate feeling like this it can take months to improve this naturally i feel like. (If it even does!!) my hair, mind, & body is suffering big time. & my relationships.
I’m building my house in the spring & i need full mind & body present during those times! i dont think i can ride this feeling out. I dont know. Ugh
