Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum and thyroid supplementation. I am a 52-year-old male 6'3" tall 322 pounds, very muscular but probably 75 or 80 lbs overweight. I have been on testosterone replacement therapy for many years. I self inject once per week. Lately I have had a hard time absorbing my testosterone. The doctors theory is that because I am fat much of my testosterone is converting to estrogen. So one month ago the doctor prescribed Armidex twice per week to try and keep my estrogen numbers down. Last tests showed my estrogen numbers near 300. We just retested, and I have not seen those numbers yet
I have always had a struggle with energy towards the end of the day. When I've asked my doctor to check my thyroid numbers. The results have always shown me at the very low end of "normal". So they have not chosen to supplement. After lots of reading I decided to order thyroid on the pimpom website. I ordered Thiroyd 60 mg and have been chewing up and swallowing one pill in the morning on an empty stomach and one pill around dinner time on an empty stomach. Initially I felt the sweats and rapid heartbeat, but that has settled down. But my appetite has gone through the roof… craving sugar, And I feel certain I have gained weight. There is no change in my energy level. I supplement with vitamin D about 12,000iu per day, three drops of 4000iu Carlson, 1 tablespoon of natural calm late at night, zinc and krill oil. Other medications include amdol/benzap 5-20 once per day and nasonex.
I try to eat clean. More of a primal style. Very little bread or sugar. Good fats, proteins, vegetables. I lift heavy kettle bells.… When I have the energy ...
I need to drop weight, I want to feel better again. I force myself through workouts when I have time and energy. The weight is probably what's causing my ED even cialis doesn't always help, I have to sleep with a CPAP, I'm just not happy.
Am I supplementing the Thiroyd correctly? Are any of the other medications or supplements getting in the way of its effectiveness?
Seriously… Help!!!
