Can't sweat, cry, salivate and regulate body temperature

Thank you. I gave that a lot of thought, because yes, I do have many (all?) symptoms of hypothyroidism. But I suspect that hypothyroidism is not the root cause, rather it is a protective mechanism. Possibly to spare some nutrients via lowered metabolism?When I try to stimulate / support thyroid, my teeth randomly crack, crumble and fall apart for no apparent reason. I have lost many healthy teeth. Supplementing T3/T4/NDT is the worst, but thiamine have the same effect to some degree.

I have wondered about this. Ramping up metabolism can be a double edged sword, it seems.

Oh. I wasn’t recommending metabolic uncouplers (thyroid, caffeine, etc.) because that would obviously be unhealthy given your current state. So you don’t think you have any nutrient deficiencies? (biotin, niacinamide, copper, ascorbic acid, glycine, etc.) Have you tried eating liver?

@winters
I do have nutrient deficiencies. My body reacts to these nutrients in the same way it reacts to metabolic uncouplers, despite being deficient. I'm eating liver twice a month. -
Well, maybe it has nothing to do with nutrition. You might wanna get tested for toxic metals… mine is off the charts, so that can explain my issues
-
@winters I do suspect lead poisoning. What kind of test did you do? Testing for heavy metals is tricky, as the metals seems to be very selective in where they accumulate, and might not be detectable in blood. Is hair test reliable?

I collected nail samples and sent them to IdeaLabs

heavy metal detox stuff in there

@winters Thank you

I don’t really see much here. I’m planning on using something like DMSA to remove the antimony… if only I can convince a physician to prescribe it
