Went to see a doctor for my symptoms of hypothyroidism but of course the blood test was "fine" so he disregarded my concern but was more worried about Estradiol, Prolactin and LH. He also prescribed vitamin d as it was low, but a silly 800 UI/d.
I've always been skinny/frail built, despite my father being wide as a barn door and the men on my mothers side are at least very tall (>6'3) but somewhat built. Been lifting weights for years but can't seem to put on much mass or gain strength. I train with people who know what they're doing, but even during periods of overeating a lot I didn't gain much strength. I only ever seem to put on a lot of fat and have struggled to lose it the last couple of years. I carry a lot of fat especially around hips and chest. Slight gyno. Lethargy/apathy and general mental health has been going downhill since a few years, and this winter was especially bad. Anixiety, despair, suicidal thoughts, irritability, really fighting just to stay awake and get through every day. No interest in doing anything whatsoever. A few weeks ago I'd come home after work and several days a week I felt like I didn't even have the energy to spend my evening sitting up but had to lie down in bed.
To me it's pretty obvious I'm hypothyroid, but happy for your input. Also realize vitamin D is very important, but I felt like crap this summer too despite being outside for 3 months. I'm also wondering about the other results like T, E, Prolactin and LH. Do you have any ideas about the cause for results like these? Getting somewhat desperate. Really grateful for your thoughts
33, M, 6'0, 165 lbs
Low morning temp (35,8-36,1 C/96,4-97 F)
Pulse 80-85
1g aspirin/day, fair amount of nicotine (Zyn), lots of coffee (milk and sugar), only two days ago started supplementing vitamin-d/mk4 and gelatine
Sleep 7-8 h/d, but even sleeping 10h several days in a row seems to have no effect
Following Peat's ideas since 6 months, 2L 0,5% milk, 0,5-1 L OJ, lots of cheese every day. 120-150 g protein, no/very low PUFA, 2000-2200 kcal/day. Need around 1600-1700 to slowly lose weight, but that makes me really cold and stupid...
