I feel that I operate only via sympathetic nervous system activity. High estrogen and cortisol cause cocaine-like alertness and if I do anything that causes cortisol to drop (like oversleeping or drinking alcohol) my metabolism plummets. If my metabolism were thyroid-driven as opposed to catecholamine-driven I think that it would feel much less fragile. The t4 in combination t4+t3 doesn't convert to t3 and actually drops my temps, and I only ever feel thyroid activity from nibbling t3 but I quickly stop responding even to that, plus it is not sustainable to nibble t3 every hour for the rest of my life. After I tried t3 I truly felt that I have had zero natural thyroid/progesterone since my early teens.
My vitamin D is high, my blood sugar is good, and I think my liver is in decent health because I can drink pretty good amounts of coffee with no agitation. I eat as much protein every day as I can stomach (excess protein causes 5ht overload symptoms for me). So what could be the issue?
