I am an Euthyroid CFS/ME patient with
fT3 = 1.9 pg/ml (1.88 - 3.18) = 2.92 pmol/l (2.88 - 4.88)
fT4 = 1.01 ng/dl (0.7 - 1.48 ) = 13 pmol/l (9.01 - 19.05)
TSH = 0.97 µUI/ml (0.4 - 4)
I have brain symptoms, head pressure, brain fog, memory problems, cognitive problems, and muscles symptoms, pain, stiffness, cramps, weakness, moving feet in the morning;
Some supplements and drugs were helpful sometimes transiently, sometimes with a very limited improvement.
A few days ago I decided to do one more trial with T3 and T4, trying different associations.
And I quickly noticed that T3 was very efficient on both my muscle symptoms and brain issues.
Anyone experimented this already?
Do you think it is just an improvement that will precede a big crash?
Could it be that my 35 years lasting illness is an intracellular hypothryoidism?
Could it be that something in the blood of CFS patients prevents T3 and/or T2 hormons to do their job inside the cells?
I don't want to be over optimistic, so I stay dubitative for the upcoming days, let's see what will happen...
