So I need more T4 in my life?
I don’t think I was taking my temps after eating/drinking/etc. How long should one wait after a drink of water to take one’s temp? I’m going to take my temps for the next week for the endo. I’m going to take my temps upon waking up (usually around 11am), and then 3:00pm and 5:30pm just because the later time seemed to always have a higher reading for me.
I’ve stopped taking iodoral a while back, but have added in kelp flakes to season everything. Hoping the iodine in that will be good for iodine upkeep.
This actually brings up a good point. I’ve seen people talk about dhea-s but I’ve yet to figure out the diff between DHEA and DHEA-s. Will try to make sure the endo tests for it.
I decided to try DHEA in case I’m in the situation of high levels of cortisol, low levels of DHEA, where my body cannot make enough DHEA to balance cortisol. Obviously it would be better to test this first but I was getting impatient. I only took DHEA for like a week then realized I was being rash and should wait to get tested first. Will also make sure to get the D25 tested.
I have read the damage hormones sticky. I see stress being the main cause of my issues. I don’t think I’ve had head trauma, though I have suffered numerous injuries.
Regarding the injuries, to date I’ve been diagnosed with torn labrums in my hips and left shoulder, a torn trap, damaged ligaments where my first rib and clavicle meet the sternum, damaged subclavius, damage to pretty much all the muscles in my left back (QL, Levator, erectors, serratus, multifidus, supraspinatus, etc), torn right pectineus, some damage to the right rectus femoris. Thereâ??s also some damage to the tendon that starts out with the right adductor magnus and then connects with the abdominal rectus. â?¦Basically all of this happened from working out for years with undiagnosed injuries suffered during a practice session in high school wrestling. In addition to all that my right peroneus longus is acts up because I tore three ligaments in that ankle playing soccer. So yeah, kind of a mess. Thankfully I have successfully treated most of these with PRP, so it’s just really the torn trap, adductor/ab tendon, and ankle that’s left. Of course, that doc wants to wait until I get my test levels up before he treats me again.
All these injuries also makes me wonder if I’m a good candidate for hgh? I imagine raised test levels with raise GH levels but if hgh makes these PRP injections more effective then sign me up. Unless, of course, taking hgh would negatively affect my thyroid. I’m talking about legal use of hgh with a script I don’t want to even try to mess with the black market. I’ll try to get them to test my gh levels, if for no other reason then to satisfy my curiosity.
I’m very hopeful with this endo because his specialty is thyroid issues, followed by low testosterone. On paper seems like exactly what I need.
