and yep definitely a hypo issue
saw my results and my TSH level had been running between 2.0-2.6 and now it is 5.03. almost double in less than 6months. so definitely hypothyroid (your body produces more TSH to compensate for other things that are low. hence hypo even though the TSH level is high).
unfortunately it involves a bit of guess and check to get the meds right. more than i would like but nothing horrible i suppose. for now i get to keep the foods too. and she agreed to target T3 first, which is not the traditional approach as most start with T4 but we think it will be easier to narrow down this way first. can always add T4 targeted drugs in combo or switch if the first T3 med doesn't seem to be doing the job.
yay more autoimmune problems. i was hoping to advoid further break down but what can you do at this point. and perhaps since i am lucky enough to have yes something new, but also something new that has a chance of being kept in check, i might just gain a bit of energy back.
