Hi! Really need some advice here. Male, 31. My TSH has been around 1.2-1.4-1.77 in recent tests, however, my free t4 and t3 are borderline low or below normal. I have all the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue, mood swings, dry skin, low libido, sluggish gut, carotenemia, high cholesterol, etc. My endo wants to put me on levothyroxine, her reasoning being that my brain actually thinks I have enough thyroid hormone, while in reality, I'm deficient. I have really bad constipation issues and was severely overtraining some time ago, along with overdoing kelp and iodized salt. She suggested the lowest dose of 25 mcg a day before breakfast. Want to hear your thoughts, thanks in advance!
