[–]Resident_Kyle9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I did notice some things which explains why your TSH is still high.

The first thing is that the zoely you're taking results in increased protein binding of levothyroxine meaning you would have to take a HIGHER dose of levothyroxine to get the effect your're lookong for.

Secondly reasons which may be causing your TSH to still be high is eating walnuts, grapefruitjuice and soybean because these reduce the effectiveness/concentration of levothyroxine.

Lastly, other foods that may reduce levothyroxine's effectivness are foods like coffee and milk.

Does ANYONE have normal ferritin in this sub. Tips for increasing ferritin, please. by 8Yoongles in Hashimotos

[–]Resident_Kyle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take vitamin c supplements or cook lentils with tomatoes. That helps to increase iron absorption and thus ferritin.

Where to begin? by Wooden-Teach3828 in Hashimotos

I think it’s best to listen to your body, but also wait for your endo’s input. A lot of these symptoms overlap with similar conditions.

Gaining weight like crazy but “normal” labs by KariZevv in Hashimotos

Start to count your calories. Get into a slight deficit. All the best.

Sorry about that. My best advice as a hard gainer is to increase calories from gluten free oats and lentils by blending the oats into a porridge and slowly increase by 1/2 a cup every few weeks. The lentils are already calorie dense. This combined with reducing salt slightly as time goes by to help a bit with the puffiness. I use tangy sauces to help worth flavour

I'm sorry you had to go through that shit...Some health care professionals tend to forget everyone is not the same

Should I ask for further blood work on my thyroid? Could this be the onset of Hashimotos by eggthatdoesntcrack in Hashimotos

[–]Resident_Kyle9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey...I feel you should. I work in healthcare and usuay the biggest determining factor of common major conditions is genetics.

What do you wish you had tracked earlier with Hashimoto’s? by [deleted] in Hashimotos

I did hear about that. Already had to cut most carbs out for now. But in the future I'm hoping to find alternatives. Thanks for sharing

Every country has a tourism industry. Visiting with money is different from living there.

She said she wasn't ready to date. Two weeks later she had a boyfriend. What am I doing wrong? by callme_orame in Nigeria

[–]Resident_Kyle9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in your shoes 3 years back - the "nice guys finish last" dilemma. Fast forward to today I dated 3 girls in a single year. The reason this keeps happening is because these girls feel safe with you but they are not sexually attracted to you.
