Ran out of thyroid hormone

Time to suicide the store doesn’t have more. I went through three months supply in three weeks

I have some T4 (I actually have mild hypothyroidism).

T4 mono therapy is worse than doing nothing

It is not ideal, but it puts me in the normal range.

It upsets everything when you only take t4. You have to take t3 along with in a 3:1 t4 to t3 ratio. Doing carnivore while hypothyroid is pourinh salut on wound

I am not carnivore anymore. I might talk to my doctor and see what she thinks, she is the one who put me on T4 many years ago and I have never had any trouble with maintaining or losing weight. I lose weight pretty quickly.

Will taking T3 affect my body's natural hormone production?

T4 converts to t3 in the liver but in most people they are a hypo because their liver cannot convert efficiently. Perhaps due to not enough fructose or too much estrogen or maybe even endotoxin or cell PUFA saturation but whatever the case it’s best to take t4 along with t3 as the serum ratio of these hormones is 4:1 and in the brain it’s 2:1 ( meaning when you only take t4 you upset the ratios of thyroid hormone in the brain as well).

ChatGPT 4 told me that the most common treatment for hypothyroidism is T4 alone. Are most doctors just retarded?

ChatGPT also agreed with the 3:1 (or 4:1) ratio, so it seems you know what you are talking about.

When I do test for thyroid hormones my T4 is always elevated a little above the normal range and TSH low, as if my body doesn't want to convert all of it.

T4 will lower TSH reliably and will also increase free t4 levels but most people do not have central hypothyroidism. The problem is for whatever reason they aren’t able to convert the t4 to t3, and whatever t3 they do produce isn’t able to get inside the cell ( major cause being PUFA saturation or vitamin A deficiency). Taking t3 as well will short circuit this pathway as say if you were producing 20 mcg t3 per day, then taking 40 mg will ensure The cells pick up enough thyroid even though the efficiency would still be low. But your cells would be getting what a normal persons cells would get is. 25 mcg t3.
The whole reason why doctors only prescribe t4 is a gigantic mishap in medical history, but luckily some doctors are picking up that it actually does more harm than good in most cases.

Thanks.

I will talk to my doctor about it. At least ask if I can try it out for a while and we will take a look at the results in the next blood test. She usually prescribes me whatever I ask for.

he thyroid mogged you to oblivion and lived longer than the average person. The most influence men have lived short yet impactful lives.

@BrahminBoss I went to see my doctor today. Apparently my T3 is in the upper range of normal now (was in the lower end some years ago). Does that mean T4 mono therapy can work for some people or has perhaps my thyroid gland gone back to functioning the way it is suppose to?

T4 can work for young men only (doesnt work in young women or old men), but even then its not optimal. If you only have t4 then eat some sugary dessert/fruit juice with sugar and use aspirin and coffee whenever you take t4 as they will help convert t4 to t3. If youre only using t4 then go high on simple sugars as live needs fructose to convert t4 to t3, else t4 becomes reverse t3 which is actually more harmful than not taking anything at all

So T4 to T3 in 4:1 a good routine everyday right, will start in a week , thanks for all this info
