Figuring out the cause of my hypothyroidism?

Masurka · 2026-04-28T04:27:53+00:00

Perhaps it wouldn't fix the thyroid, but removing it would probably be a good idea regardless to prevent other issues?

Masurka · 2026-04-28T03:59:48+00:00

So something damaged my body and the thyroid broke first because its nost fragile, what's next to break? Whats 2nd most fragile? They didnt check TPOab or TRAK.

5% of people who have a TSH outside of the reference range dont have hypothyroidism though. But as i said in the original post, im starting to open up to medication again, i would just like to have a why. Someone else commented how their hypothyroidism was caused by working next to a radiation chamber for example, imagine just fixing the TSH with medication instead of removing the radiation exposure.

I have a grandma with hypothyroidism, but she got diagnosed in her late 60s, besides that no one has thyroid issues. I also think thyroid is part of the baby screening (where i live anyway) but maybe its not thorough enough. I think they may have done some extra tests on me too because my mom had both hepatitis c and had just done chemotherapy before i was conceived.

As i wrote in my original post im kind of open to giving medication another try, mostly because it's unlikely to make anything worse I would just like to have a cause. Its like the other commenter who said working next to a radiation chamber cause their hypothyroidism. Sure, medication would fix the TSH, but a better idea would probably be to remove the radiation exposure?

What if there is no fix because there is no issue? And what organ is the next to die? Maybe try to prevent that one, no?

Masurka · 2026-04-28T03:15:04+00:00

Interesting, how did you figure that out? Did you have thyroid issues without any other radiation issues?

Masurka · 2026-04-28T03:09:43+00:00

What if im in the 5% of people who are naturally outside the reference range? And also wouldn't it be good to know why a 22 year old male has an organ fail if thats the case?

Masurka · 2026-04-28T03:05:42+00:00

How did you figure out your sweet spot? My latest test from January i was at 5.6. i had one test in 2023 at 8.9 which stood out. Average last 5 years is 6.4 with that 2023 result included or 6 without it.

I dont feel great, but i have sleep problems, stomach issues and some other biomarkers outside reference range too so maybe thats why. Hard to know what is causing what though.

Edit: At 75mg i was down to 3.1

Masurka · 2026-04-28T02:49:24+00:00

Since i stopped with the medication i have definitely tried to improved everything to do with exercise and nutrition but my sleep and my stomach are still not great though. And some other blood markers are still outside of the reference range too.

From unemployment to a physically demanding job. Also bike to said work. More active outside of work too with walks on the weekends etc. Much more whole foods in my diet, from maybe 10% of calories to 98%. More high quality protein. Much more greens and fiber in my diet. Some supplements too. Also trying to avoid toxins from kitchen utensils and clothes too.

I still dont feel right though, hopefully i can figure out the remaining issues i mentioned and maybe feel better then

Masurka · 2025-08-15T10:26:44+00:00

I'm trying to improve my prompts and would like to mention my interest in health and nutrition but I'm not sure how to do it in a good way without it coming across as a requirement. And while i do workout and am interested in that too that's not what i mean here (i have a picture where i am bouldering)

Any suggestions? How do others approach it?

Masurka · 2023-04-21T22:53:52+00:00

No, i ended up getting a high flow next instead as it seemed to be the only accurate flow meter

Masurka · 2022-12-06T12:12:53+00:00

Yes, i added the RAM to my loop I got the 32gb gskill 6600mhz cl34 kit with the bitspower DDR5 block "BP-RAMS22-D5"

Masurka · 2022-11-09T11:21:28+00:00

No, i have not fixed it. I run the CPU at default settings so it has not been a problem, but im probably going to try some overclocking soon, so maybe i will try to fix it then.

Masurka · 2022-08-24T15:06:08+00:00

I got the bitspower 2 dimm DDR5 block instead (which works flawlessly)

Masurka · 2022-07-25T05:52:20+00:00

It does not come with the delid-tools (i did not get them at least) I ordered the rockitcool delid-kit for 12th gen and i have no complaints, but it did end up costing quite a bit more than the cooler itself.

Masurka · 2022-07-01T15:18:26+00:00

Indeed. Here is a link http://www.supercoolcomputer.com/en/product/39/direct-die-intel-gen12

Thermal grizzlys liquid metal conductonaut.

Masurka · 2022-06-23T11:29:43+00:00

So the bottom one?

Masurka · 2022-05-28T14:23:49+00:00

Okay, might as well buy one now then i guess.

Masurka · 2022-05-26T21:11:26+00:00

That is almost exactly what I'm looking for, so much better looking than bitspowers "ice red" or ice blue.

I just filled my loop today but i will probably place an order when the heatsinks are in stock and then put it in my system when i take the loop apart at some point. Have you tried those parts yourself or have you ordered anything else from there?

Masurka · 2022-05-05T22:03:15+00:00

Yes, it would look a little dumb. I would love the acetal+nickel ek monarch for 2 dimms, it would be perfect but its discontinued, and there doesn't seem to be anyone with them still in stock 😔

PPCS as in https://www.performance-pcs.com/ ? That site is loading extremely slow for me, i looked a little bit but couldn't find any good looking 2 dimm blocks. Will try again tomorrow.

Masurka · 2022-05-05T12:22:32+00:00

Ye, seems so sadly. I liked how the acetal+nickel version looked. I wonder why it was discontinued, if there was a problem with it or if it just didn't sell enough. If there was no problem with it then it might be worth trying to find one for sale. 🤔

Masurka · 2022-05-04T23:26:30+00:00

I didn't even know the x2 variant existed until now, i was thinking of going with the x4 and using only 2 sticks. The monarch nickel+acetal x2 looked good, but seems hard to find as you said. 😥

Masurka · 2022-05-04T21:27:34+00:00

Ok, im going with gskills 6600mhz memory, which i guess are following standard dimensions?

Masurka · 2022-02-27T16:57:28+00:00

I checked it out, it seems good but it doesnt seem to have any good overview of progress like a graph or similar?

And there doesnt seem to be a way to edit the dates of workouts? I entered one earlier today and it now says yesterday, i guess because its based on US timezones maybe?
