T3 treatment has been going well. My doc wants me to cycle on and off of the medication a few times to attempt to kick-start my thyroid. It'll be interesting to see if this works; I'm not sure if...

Been having bad insomnia and a HUUUUUGE increase in appetite; I'm up at 4am feeling like I could eat an entire roast turkey dinner. How is it possible to be hyper and hypothyroid at the same time??

Been taking Cytomel for about five days now, doubling dose every other day until I reach 50 mcg/day total or I hit 98.6 body temp at 8am, 11am and 2pm. Haven't felt hyper at all yet on a 20mcg/day...

I had slightly elevated SGPT and SGOT liver tests, along with candida antibodies, and the NP thinks my liver and the candida may be causing my thyroid issues...

Been doing OK on the new dose of thyroid meds. Very anxious, though. Hands and feet are warmer for the most part, and hair fallout is less even when I wash my hair every other day.

Breaking out...

My skin suckssss today. Lots of pustules everywhere, and tons of inflammation/irritation. I think it's from the LED lights, though I don't know why it happened all of a sudden.

Did the GI panel...

Why are you eating low-carb if you are underweight? Eating some potatoes won't kill you, might give you energy and could help you put on some weight. Low-carb is not for everyone...

Hey Big L,

Thanks for stopping by! :) It's always nice to hear from Primal people with some of the same health issues, especially since much of this forum seems dedicated to weight loss.

I am...

Hey strom,

The rice and potatoes are my attempt to pack on some pounds of body fat, which hopefully will help regulate my hormones (I'm underweight). Carbs boost thyroid function, and I wasn't...

Hey aktres,

I'd love to try a "neutral" cleanser, but I'm not a fan of the parabens and BHT in most mainstream cleansers like Purpose and Cetaphil. I also reacted horribly to a gentle "Free and...
