Well, your TSH is very high which tells me you need some professional help with your thyroid support. Don't give up on Maui just yet. Talk with the pharmacists, starting close by and see what turns up. There's good information to share with a willing doctor on Acella's website (click on For Practicioners and click that you are one) and also at this site: TPAUK (scroll down, click on For Doctors, then also read For Patients).Hi, it sounds like we have some similarities. Maybe coffee depleted me due to lowering b1. I look forward to trying Purebulk b1. What brand of progesterone do you use and pregnenolone?
The vitamin e you take looks good, I will order some. I don't see a link for the magnesium.
Here are my thyroid numbers.
TSH 3.57 q 0.27-4.20
T3, Total 81 80-200
I tried cynomel t3, but it made me feel worse.
I will try to find a doctor who knows about Acella. But I am Maui and I doubt anyone here would even consider thyroid medication with my numbers. Does your doctor do telemedicine?
You can search online for endocrinologists on Maui. Here's a list of them. You can give them each a call and ask if they prescribe natural desiccated thyroid and/or thyroid meds that include T3 or specifically NP Thyroid by Acella. Do some sleuthing. Do not be hesitant to make an appointment (could be by phone even) and interview the doctor for the job. Read everything about hypothyroidism that Ray Peat has written and listen to his interviews about thyroid first so you will recognize a good doctor when you find one.
My doctor does not do telemedicine, sorry. He's on the far side of 82 and even getting through to his office staff by phone to make an appointment can take days.
Before I found my endo in 2015, I tried taking some T3 on my own too. It gave me heart palpitations. My endo read me the riot act for trying that on my own; he said I could have wound up in the emergency room.
I think Progest-E is a very good product. I get my pregnenolone from here. They sell progesterone too, but I find that it is too thin and runny to be user friendly. I'm used to rubbing into my gums so a thicker product works better for me.
