Hello everyone, maybe someone has some ideas regarding this..
I was doing quite well on a Ray Peat diet and finally getting my hormones under control. Then had a very stressful event + tried out a new supplement (progestene by haidut!) and the day after developed a very strong tight feeling in my throat + pain swallowing, as well as all low metabolism symptoms I had previously.. temperature dropped by 0.5C, constipation, coated tongue, dandruff, waking up in the middle of the night, sleeping very poorly but being exhausted. It is about 6 days later and no improvement. I went to a doctor who said my thyroid feels a big enlarged and swollen and sent me to an ultrasound, that I would like to avoid if I can..
Never thought one stressful event could set one back like this, but obviously it can.. I must have just stressed my thyroid out completely to the point it shut down/swelled up very rapidly with the combination of the bike race + new supplement.
Any ideas what to do help the body a bit? I continue taking prog-e as I did this before, but not even a dose of 100 ml makes any real difference, get a bit sleepy for 15 minutes but then back to feeling "wired and tired". I tried to nibble on NTD during the day today but it makes the tightness/pain of swallowing worse.. I also had bad experiences with NTD previously, feeling better initially but inevitably 4 days later I always have a lot of adrenaline and have to stop taking it.
I take some vitamin e, taurine and inositol. About 100 g protein/ day and 400 grams carbs/day. Would like to take aspirin but it gives me a lot of stomach upset so weary to try it.
On one hand it's interesting to see that it is indeed my thyroid that is causing the problems and somehow I need to address it (NTD has not worked previously), but have to admit I am really surprised how bad it got, and a bit afraid. Any help would be appreciated.
