Okay so I went to the doctor and got these (first 2) labs:
My first test results:
Vitamin D 31 (30-100ng/mL)-->I am supplementing Vitamin D3 now on my own
TSH 3rd Generation 5.14H (.4-4.5mIU/L)
Testosterone Total 204L (241-827ng/dL)
My second test results (free testosterone wasn't present as this isn't the complete test because the lab didn't send it over yet):
TSH 3rd Generation 3.07 (.4-4.5mIU/L)
T4 TOTAL: 8.2 (4.5-12 mcg/dL)
T3 TOTAL: 95 (76-181 ng/dL)
FSH: 2 (1.6-8.0mIU/mL)
LH: 4.3 (1.5-9.3 mIU/mL)
Testosterone TOTAL: 321 (241-827 ng/dL)
I began supplementing with kelp and potassium iodide...first month around 4-6mg a day. Second month 6-8mg. Third month 8-11mg a day.
My temperature did rise. I had better mental clarity and more energy. But I still gained a lot of quick weight (ate well, went to the gym 4-5 days a week) and couldn't lose fat. I also still had hair falling out. I was also taking b-complex, vitamin c and selenium.
These were my labs:
TSH-5.75 (.4-4.5) HIGH
TOTAL T4- 8.7 (4.5-12)
FREE T4 INDEX(T7)-3.1 (1.4-3.8)
T4,FREE-1.3 (.8-1.8)
T3,TOTAL-86 (76-181)
T3 UPTAKE-36 (22-35%) HIGH
PROLACTIN-16.4 (2-18) HIGH NORMAL
TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL-466 (250-1100)
TESTOSTERONE, FREE-112.8 (35-155)
My TSH was higher, my total t3 was LOWER. But my testosterone more than doubled from last time. The doctor gave me .5grain of armour thyroid so I could lose the fat and stop the bloating, however I am still going to take iodine...Probably not as much though more like 3mg a day.
I feel like I felt better due to
Iodine detoxifying me (I got
Acne the first 3 weeks on iodine) but it totally went away. But my thyroid is still sluggish and the uncontrollable weight gain was ridiculous.
I am also going to take some natural L-DOPA to combat the high prolactin (I am only 21 yrs old and male!)
Any advice?
