Just some background I’m 37 years old I’m 6’4” on the thin side , I’ve tried pretty well to be healthy, I did get covid fairly bad and wonder if it did some damage..
I’d say the last couple years have got more into ray peat but ate mostly Whole Foods prior with some bad decisions mixed in between. My work has always been physically demanding. I was recently kicked by a horse in my knee and leg… Im a farrier for a living.
I thought I would wait it out before going to get it looked at and see if it was just bruised. A couple days later I was working at my house a client had hauled horses to me and at the same time my neighbor who farms conventionally next door decided to spray his barley fields with herbicide that next morning I started having odd symptoms my throat was inflamed my heart seemed to be racing my legs hurt seemed to have more pressure in my body that was uncomfortable, shaky, tired, anxiety..
So I went to get checked they said my knee seemed fine but they wanted to do blood work because of my symptoms . I got a call a few hours later that they wanted to send me to go see endocrinologist for my hyperthyroid
my TSH was 1.95
And my T4 was 2.22 .
Since then I’ve had days where I feel good and then days I’m back to the bad symptoms. Today is one of the bad days..
I opted to go to a functional medicine doctor than the endocrinologist for my follow up … they didn’t take blood ,they said they should wait a few more weeks. he prescribed propranolol I haven’t taking it yet. As I’m nervous to mess anything up further before I get some more advise.
I just started taking coq10 with some coconut oil and gotu kola and that seems to help a little.
sorry If my writing is all over the place !
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance

just to be clear are those thyroid levels in a healthy range?
