Hey guys, my blood labs are here and they are not looking too great. I suffer from very low energy levels (diagnosed with CFS, not sure if that diagnosis really fits. A lot of the associated symptoms are there tho.) Right now I'm trying to get away from artificially boosting my energy levels (dopamine boosting substances can make me feel normal and even good for an amount of time), because that always ends in a crash. I'll still use coffee and tyrosine to keep that dopaminergic tone tho, without that depression will surface.
Also, I have something like a cold/flu 24/7/365, so I think my immune system is really underperforming. Whenever I exert myself too much (which is basically every time I do a normal amount of activities) that immunity gets additionally lowered.
My diet before the blood was drawn was as nutrient dense as it gets: OJ, milk, coffee, skyr, liver, date syrup, some butter. Supplements I used: B complex, aspirin, vitamin D A, E, K1, K2, choline bitartrate, glycine, cyproheptadine, tyrosine + BCAAs, magnesium acetate.
I assume my thyroid is in good shape because of the TSH value belows, and blood tests I did a few months ago (my free T3 was at the high end of the range). Waking temp is relatively low at around 96.80 degrees, but I'm stabilizing at around 98,60 most days. Pulse is at 80 most of the time.
My interpretation skill of blood lab results is basically zero, so I would really appreciate you guys chiming in.
