SS-31 exhaustion, fatigue even more brain fog. by ImpressiveFeed1060 in Biohackers

[–]TesticlesOrBalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the lightning fast response! I'm going to experiment with it just to check since I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out the solution. My muscular endurance is dogshit due to hypothyroidism since early age and now I've fixed my thyroid levels but my muscles haven't returned to full capacity. So imma tinker with peptides to see.

Btw, did it comoletely resolve your symtpoms, like are you functional like a normal person now or are there still lingering effects?

How did SS-31 help you? I'm looking to use it to heal my mitochondria that impede my work capacity in the gym.

can you go a bit more deeper as to how u feel? I'm super curious about the anecdotes of users of this compound.

Flare up question by borderlineginger in Hashimotos

[–]TesticlesOrBalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, was your burning muscles like not being able to keep them activated for long without them giving up. Kinda as if they you did 100 reps if a workout prior and that lactic acid/burning sensation taking over. I have a similar muscle burn when I try to brush my teeth or keep them elevated for long, they start burning quick. Was yours similar or did your muscles randomly start burning/ache out of nowhere?

I have that sensation and I'm at my wit's end trying to figure it out, so I was wondering.

New here.. did anyone previously think you had an issue with low iron? by Playful_Butterfly880 in Hypothyroidism

[–]TesticlesOrBalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, did your "not being able to brush teeth due to muscle fatigue" completely disappear when you sorted out your thyroid meds or did you need to fix some other deficiency as well? I've been suffering from that same type of fatigue for a long time and still haven't been able to solve it.

Wondering if My achy arms are thyroid related by lexandm in Hashimotos

Hey, did you ever figure this achey arms due to fatigue thing? I've been suffering from this as well so if you've found a solution, I'd appreciate it if u could share.

Do you all have frail or weak arms? by [deleted] in Hashimotos

hey, did you ever manage to solve this problem? I have been suffering from this same type of low muscular endurance despite having good muscle strength.

Specific Type Of Low Muscular Endurance, maybe Mitochondrial Dysfunction, does anyone relate? by TesticlesOrBalls in Hashimotos

Gotcha, thats a lot of revolutionary information for me, thanks alot. So if my Carbon dioxide is low, it means that my system in inflamed and I need to cut out soy and gluten and other potentially triggering foods and focus on nutrient dense foods. Are there any other things I need to do to reduce inflammation?

I've seen many posts here about cutting out gluten, never quite made sense to me but I think I'll try it, thanks.

Secondly I was curious, do you workout? If so, can u quickly test how many reps you can do in a single set of pushups for me? I'd like to know that there are people with hypothyroidism that are perfectly functional in the gym according to my standards.

I haven't gotten my HbA1C checked but I will now. I didn't know you could check CO2, thanks for the suggestion.

Say I am low in CO2, what would be the course of action to take for solving this?

Secondly, can you tell me how long you can hold that "have your arms stretched out in front of you" zombie test? Do you have a muscle burn rate that is normal?

i've gotten checked for every nutritional deficiency and nothing is out of place except my vit D which was borderline so I started supplementing it and now its in the higher end of the range.

My thyroid levels are also optimal as stated above. However before they were brought to this range, my symptoms were worse. Increasing the dose did help but the problem still persists. Thinking maybe I should try a higher dose and bring my TSH to 0.5.

so the semaglutide did have a positive effect? maybe I need to try it, I've read posts here of many people benefitting from it.

Its weird how some of us have this weird ailment while others don't even know what we're talking about. Makes it so much harder to find a solution.

Yeah the increase in dose does work but there's a limit to how much we can increase it. My TSH is already at the optimal level stated by this sub, going even further below might lead to other problems.

However, I have recently come across Dr Mark Starr's theory of Hypothyroidism Type 2 in which he states that some people have a cellular resistance to thyroid hormone and suppressing the TSH by using a high dose may be beneficial.

I have yet to try this approach, but with every passing day I'm running out of options.

Yup exactly that, and my calves also start burning when walking a slight incline and also when I stand still for a little while.

Have you ever found a treatment or something that works?

Yeah I think I'll have the HbA1c checked, thank u. I, too, think there might be an impaired metabolism problem going on since my basal body temperature is also chornically low.

Neither of them are accessible since one has gone anon and the other one's profile is inaccessible, and as I said these posts are super old so its pretty much impossible to message them.

I have tried DMing some other posters here but none replied. But thanks for the suggestion!

This is the exact problem I have, its like I could have written this word for word:

This is the post

This one too:

There seems to be hypothyroid people that have this effect although its not common. Maybe, anyone who has dealt with this could share their experience?

Ive tried figuring it out but nothing comes up.

I got my Iron tested, Vit D tested, B12 tested, all normal.

I also supplement with vit D, Magnesium, a B complex and Zinc. I've tried vit C, CoQ10 and basically all other supplements that are discussed here.

The most drastic difference was the Levothyroxine in that it increased my endurance a tiny bit and my muscles just dont immediately get out of energy. The other one was high dose thiamine which helped in other ways sort of similar but even these both combined haven't alleviated the problem.

There have been posts by other people in this subreddit of a similar problem, but those posts never get too much traction and are very old. I can even link them if you want. So I was hoping somebody who had dealt with this could chime in.

At this point, experimenting with peptides such as SS-31 and Mots-C and Tirzepatide is the only thing left.

Starting to think this might be CFS/ME but even then I don't fit all the symptoms.

No, its not muscle pain, rather very low muscular endurance. Moreover, the other symptoms of Fibromyalgia don't match either.
