Haagendazendiane and Swandattur thanks for food for thought .I've shied away from thyroid for years as so many people seem to struggle with it. But after 2.5 years of doing everything I can to restore my thyroid I have to admit that it's still not working well. everything else I do, while helpful , is not addressing the root of the problem. I've written down pages of notes from this forum and ray peat's brain and will comb through for more. 3 years ago thyroid tests showed borderline low t3 and mid range t4. I forget the tsh but think it was over 2. Clearly my liver struggles so conversion may be an issue ,so my plan for now is to start with tiny quantities of cynoplus and nibbles of cynomel, keep records of pulse and temp and all the other symptoms people report, change doses only after about 3 weeks and keep reading. in the meantime before I start, I'm having main meal at lunchtime, snacks every two hours, and more sugar, salt ,ice cream to counter increased stress and avoid those energy crashes which I'm prone to in the afternoons. Yesterday that approach helped me handle a tough day, I did feel the stress but recovered quicker and did not get that hollow tiredness as usual, and hopefully did not spike too much cortisol.
