It takes time to recover. Large dose progesterone has definitely been helpful in my situation. Don't be to hard on yourself and allow yourself time to heal, it definitely takes time.Thanks for sharing! I do take T3 and am about to post another question after doing quite a bit of searching, just to get another idea. I had low T3 (bottom of the normal range), high TSH (3.0 so not crazy but not ideal), and mid-range T4. I have taken T3 on and off for years with good results but eventually my system crashes and I get this insane fatigue, which just happened again. I eat plenty of carbs and protein, so I am not sure what is going on except that I sometimes have low normal cortisol. I know that Ray Peat believes that thyroid should restore the adrenals, but I am just not sure how to make that happen. It could be a reduction of other stress hormones, but it's really hard to be dragging around all day, barely able to open my eyes. This happens almost every time I take T3! Then I have to stop, feel awful after a while, and cycle repeats!
