@merylg ,
Isn't this condition the most difficult,frustrating, and painful thing(s)?
The T3 causing shingles was a mind-blow for me. Up to that point, I thought I'd figured that avoiding acids was it. But today, I read about some of the causes of lactic acidosis. ( I believe it to be a possible complication with ME/CFS/SEID?)
Increased epinephrine is one of the many possible causes of lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis can be difficult to diagnose. It can also be subclinical, so we can survive with it but painfully.
Dysbiosis/ SIBO can also be a cause of lactic acidosis. I've read on Chris Kresser's site that infections of sorts may cause a low T3 syndrome. So, another cause of thyroid dysfunction may be coming from elsewhere. (the gut?)
I'm with you having to try various diets...confusing but powerful. I had to lower carbs to about 80gm daily. If I go below 50...not good. I've read that though some folks do well with very low carb, most may have a problem stabilizing blood sugar after a time.
I don't have a blood glucose issue now, but who knows what's next?
Your 'body coldness' sounds just awful. Hope you can solve that one.
Sorry, I forgot to add that I believe the subclinical acidosis irritates the nerves and causes the shingles outbreak. ( lactic acid has been found in the cerebral spinal fluid of people)
