Hi everyone. Im here to learn more about my health issues and maybe get some advice.
Let me start with Im a 38 year old female 5'8 and 180 lbs (lost 70lbs in last year). I have Hashimotos (hypothyroid), Celiac and have been bipolar since 14. Ive gotten very little help from my endo or pcp with my issues. Almost everything I have learned has been on my own.
Ive come along ways in the last 2 or 3 years. Im taking 75mg of T3, 3.5 mcg of LDN, 2 blood pressure medicines and a sleeping med as well as a few supplements like Magnesium Malate and Vit D. The LDN and my diet have allowed me to stop taking all my bipolar meds and anti-depressants. No issues with Bipolar any longer.
Im also on the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol diet) which is a super strict paleo and has allowed me to lose all of my inflammation and I feel loads better.
Even with my thyroid meds perfect (high end of T3 range, and Tsh completely supressed) I still dont feel as well as I feel like I should. I have 0 motivation and Im still tired as hell and have 0 libido. Does anyone have any suggestions on what my next step should be? What else do I need to imcorporate into my diet or what supplements. I cannot tolerate T4 at all just an fyi.
Thanks for any help and I look forward to spending alot of times reading the files.
