Male, 58, former athlete, Hashimoto's with zero thryroid function and high antibodies including RNP antibodies.
Meds:
NP (natural dessicated thyroid) 135mg/day
Prednisone 10MG/d
Ezetimibe (cholesterol) 10mg/d
Aspirin, low dose
The problem is massive fatigue. Without Prednisone I'm non functional and can't stand up without help. The 10mg pred helps immensely, but is not a cure. I still have bouts of fatigue I can't overcome, other than sleeping it off.
I want to try T3 only. While my reverse T3 labs seem to come out OK (Note: every time they've been tested, I felt well) and my T3 levels are in the mid range, I've run out of things to try. I keep reading about people who use T3 multiple times per day and "titrate" up to a dose that works for them. And it relieves/cures their Chronic Fatigue.
Quite simply, I'm tired of being tired and having to sit down all the time. As a former athlete and gym guy, I would like to be able to do at least some exercise.
What do you guys think?
