Another person with sluggish thyroid.
-Low side t4, middle side t3
-HDL below low side (0.8mmol/L, ref > 1.4), LDL above top side (4.8mmol/L, ref 2.0 - 3.5 mmol/L)
-Brain fog, lower body temperature, hair loss, insomnia
-No morning wood
-I tried in the past big doses of t3 and it didn't do anything, even mega dose
-Very low DHT (100pg/ml, ref. 300-850pg/ml), testosterone middle range
I am wondering:
1. Does t3 and androsterone lower also HDL or just LDL?
2. Could be the reason why t3 didn't work because of my low HDL levels despite total cholesterol levels are good?
3. Would it make any sense to take cholesterol powder and extra fructose to rise HDL? Just thinking loudly if this would help thyroid to eventually work better and clear then extra LDL.
