Hey all,
I have some symptoms of Hypothyroidism, as many PWCs do. I'm cold, lower body temperature, fatigue obviously. I had my TSH, T4 and T3 tested. The TSH and T4 were normal but my T3 wasn't:
T3: 84 (range 76-181)
Now it is in range but to me that's low. The doctor of course brushed it off like a mosquito because it was "in range". After doing research it seems like this should be addressed. I know that mitochondrial dysfunction can cause low body temp as well, and supplementing thyroid can be a complicated and important process so I guess I'm looking for advice.
Do many PWC's use dessicated (T3 and T4) thyroid to help them? I've read that it can help but I've also read that it can be very bad for some of us who have low cortisol. Cheney may have said never to add thyroid like this? It's all so confusing.
Thanks
