@lykos said in Copper deficiency,histamine intolerance, fatigue:
blood tests
TSH t3 t4Yes, but mind when the results of the blood test is borderline, don't trust it. Listen to your symptoms, at least 2 or 3 symptoms of a list (hypo-symptoms).
NB: Borderline
A thyroid test in the "low quarter" (or lower quarter) means that the result is in the lowest part of the normal range. (Gauss curb). -
@LucH i think all my problems started when i was exposed to mold for long time, i know mold tanks copper really fast but i probably have some dysbiosis or candida based alone from my gyms and rhinitis. Doctors suck here, trial and error with everything sadly when it comes to health.

@lykos, what LucH said. Along with fatigue and poor copper metabolism, having low iron despite adequate intake is another sign of an under-active thyroid. Despite my intake of iron-rich foods like red meat and supplementing with food-based iron, my ferritin was down to 6 and didn’t budge until I started taking thyroid (Armour). I was also diagnosed with mold toxicity and gut dysbiosis (SIBO), which cleared up when I targeted my thyroid. To rule out your symptoms being thyroid related, if you haven’t done so already, you may find it useful to track your temps (including extremities) first thing in the morning, and before and 20–30 minutes after you eat, and also your pulse rate, for two weeks. And in case you haven’t read it, here is Ray Peat’s article on TSH, temperature, pulse rate, and other indicators in hypothyroidism:
