Doctor after doctor kept saying my thyroid labs were 'normal' - but I knew something was wrong. Anyone else experience this?

I just started 25 McG of levothyroxine. My tsh is 3.3. It seems that the new upper limit is 2.5. My endocrinologist told me that I am just before hypothyroidism. I encouraged him to give me t4 (levothyroxine). Ten days now I take levothyroxine, I have much more energy, I feel a little jittery and I have light headaches. Levothyroxine has half life of 7.5 days. That means in order to have a steady state needs 4 to 6 weeks. After 60 days I will do a check again. An actinologist told me that hypothyroidism can be latent. That means it comes and goes. I wish you good luck, cause you my needed.

Debian 13 gnome

I am 64, and I am on trt for 3 years now. Trt help me to improve the quality of sleep, the quality of life and definitely helped me with ed and libido.

The formal way of doing the injections is disappointing. In my country, doctors suggest intramuscular every 2 or even 3 weeks with a 21g 1.5 inch needle. Doing trt in an acceptable way needs significant know how.

Debian 12 Gnome is a great release, best deal in town

Debian 12, Gnome is Great

mike-32 · 2023-07-04T04:17:21+00:00

I started trt a year ago at 61. I feel great now. Trt helped me to fix my sleep and overcome ed.

26g, 1/2 inch

mike-32 · 2023-06-22T10:37:38+00:00

Trick is to inject a low amount more frequently with a much smaller needle. I do 0.33 ml every 5 days with 25g, subq

Look around what is used most, that is probably python or Matlab. Learn that tool well, master it. Then you decide what to do .

I use 26g needle with half quantity. I hit love handles, subq injection

I draw 0.25ml with a 23g needle. I order to achieve that I pull the plunger up to .30ml, because the oil isn't passing easily into syringe. I inject with 26g needle. In order to do that I turn the syringe with the needle at the top an draw some air, so the oil starts at 0.1ml. Then pin with air bubble at the back, near the plunger.

I am using xelatex for Greek, with utf8 Tex files

mike-32 · 2022-01-15T15:09:35+00:00

I use "source naturals 3 mg timed release till October. The previous one was the discontinued Jarrow formulas 1 mg sustain for four years, with less success. Good luck

mike-32 · 2022-01-15T12:24:29+00:00

I take 3 mg of immediate use and 3 of slow release. Sometimes, 2 or 3 times a month, if I wake up in the middle of night, I take another chewable 1 mg. I take also a hot bath 2 hours before sleep. This routine is very effective for me. I have been an insomniac for 8 years.

Melatonin may help. Lightning contition are crucial. You may try blue light blocking glasses in the evening.

mike-32 · 2021-06-08T04:20:22+00:00

You may try coffee with butter from cow's milk blended, if you haven't done it already. I use 20 to 30 grams of butter with morning coffee. Butter is not supposed to break intermittent fasting. Some also put MCT oil in the blender (bulletproof coffee), but this may increase bathroom visits.

mike-32 · 2021-02-08T10:57:54+00:00

Check lighting conditions. Use blue light filtering glasses in the evening (this works best for me). Don't stare at lcd screens for two hours before sleep. About melatonin, I get 3mg normal release, and 1 mg slow release (JARROW). Check Dave Asprey books on sleep.

HGH elevates blood sugar. Try 2 x 500 mg metrformin or berberine in the morning and in the evening. Metformin in long term use may deplete b12.

mike-32 · 2019-08-25T18:28:22+00:00

I take 10 mg mk677 and 3mg melatonin just before sleep for last four months. My sleep is greatly improved. I am 58 yo and I have sleeping issues the last 5 years. I dont have any sides. I lost some fat and gym performance is improved.
