diagnosed with hypothyroidism today at 16, hopping on t4, what benefits can I expect?

[steroids]

doctors prescribed me 50mcg levothyroxine

tsh levels before starting are (5.57/6.66 6 months ago, 18.57 today before meds)
t4 levels are 1.2

i'm 16.5 and 5'10.

we are retesting my levels in 6 weeks to see if we need to increase/lower dose

what are some benefits could i expect of medicating my hypothyroidism?

deadass? that's awesome i am at 180 right now and i'm unactive because i physically don't lose weight
i've read i can grow taller but i don't know if thats true

deadass? that's awesome i am at 180 right now and i'm unactive because i physically don't lose weight

well there has been a height increase seen within children with an underactive thyroid

anyways, take cjc1295 if ur able to pin, mk677 if you can only do it oral, both if you aren't poor, and combine with aromasin and i think you could hit 6" minimum

how did they diagnose you?
what blood tests did u do

 

[steroids]

how did they diagnose you?
what blood tests did u do

checked total t4 and tsh levels through a blood test, everything was normal and the endocrin denied giving me medication 6 months ago because "5.57/6.66 is bad but not bad enough" so i wasn't given medication till 6 months later (this monday) and my tsh levels 3x'd. i wasn't diagnosed with hashimotos but most likely have it, was only diagnosed with hypothyroidism and prescribed 50mcg levo that i'll start taking tmrw

so i should ask for t3, t4 and tsh? is there a difference between "free" and "total"?

your eyes can get more deep set if you fix the hyperthyroidism

they're already deepset lol is there such thing as too deepset though
like deadass can too deepset be an issue?

they didn't even check my t3 ion think, and if they did it was in normal range. free doesn't mean shit i think i think the only ones that matter is total

the same for me, ive been diagnosed with hypothyroidism w 14 and the fucking doctor didn't want to supplement it because he didn't see enough of it, so now w 16.5 i noticed how bad it is.
i mean i feel ok, in two years in the gym i put almost 30kg without gaining too much fat easily but now that im cutting its so hard to lose fat man, 6 months in a cut, and now im noticing big changes in losing fat.
getting into T4 asap, also im gonna check my testosterone and gh levels to see if i have more hormone issues (also im 5'11)

also go to an endocrin and not a normal doctor, they know what they're doing more

my bad confused hypothyroidism with hyperthyroidism, your eyes wont change

 

[steroids]

yeah, i'm hoping mine will go away when i hope on t4, i'm hella excited since i mean i found out kinda late but still early enough for some benefits

i mean i have a good face bonemass development, eyes deepset also, but i think it could be so much better with my hormones at its fullest. i dont wanna fuck up my HPTA (the axis), but if i see im under the average permablast until 21 with testosterone

get xray of wrist and check if ur plates are open

My fucking endo refused to lemme ldo an xray last time. Fucking piece of shit.

 

[steroids]

lowkey for anyone with below average hypothyroid levels that are "average" but realistically aren't, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get medication because they don't think it causes big issues, when they really do. i got "lucky' i guess because they caught my levels probably at their worst and the endocrin i go to is super nice.
