@LetTheRedeemed
Thank you. I was wondering if there's something like a number that's too low.
I am for sure working on lifestyle and feeling healthy in general. But I have good health insurance now so I might as well take advantage of it and have my bloodwork done.

In August I started cynomel and later also cynoplus. The first results are from before I started.
I felt after a month or 2 that I took too much. My heart rate was high in a way it felt uncomfortable. I took then only about a quarter or less of the cynomel three times a day. Then a tiny piece of a cynoplus at night.

My TSH is now super low. I'm thinking about skipping the cynoplus at night.

I have also thought about quitting thyroid altogether but I used to have really bad heart palpitations. I've had them my whole life so they don't scare me anymore but it's super nice not to have them at all. For the rest I cannot say I feel any different.

I eat like my parents did when I lived in the Netherlands. I cook all my food at home. I eat some (home made) sourdough bread, lots of fruit and dairy. I don't crave meat but I do eat it daily, often more like a condiment. Fresh squeezed orange juice ( I really hate oj from a container). I have not changed this for a long time. I like to eat like this.
I don't do a carrot salad often but I do take

My heart rate is in the 80's but goes up fast when I exercise or walk (hills and mountains).
My temp is around 37C. It has actually gone down a bit since I take cynomel. It used to be more 37.4. All my thermometers read somwhat differently though.

My goal is mostly healthy aging (60 y/o female). Some weight loss would be great but it's not super important.

I used to have the same issue. Now I put it in my morning smoothie. I now use Aniprin. I do still have bleeding gum issues even though I take a good vit K supplement.

I'm surprised to hear that. I have had only good experiences with them.
I do know their response to emails is slow or non existent. I had an issue with them only once, they did not respond but later the issue was resolved anyway. It just took time.

@S-Holmes
Do you have any positive feedback from the glucose loading?

Also where did you get the low dose patches? 7mg is the lowest I have seen but I would like 2 or 3 mg.

Thanks

I like and the follow along classes of kettlebellsolo (Brit van Schravendijk and Micheal something Italian). Great short classes with different KB movements than the usual. Short and sweet. Just right.
You can find them on FB or Instagram but they also have a page. You do need one or more kettlebells.

I checked Amazon for a good one. Read the reviews etc.
Then I bought the exact same one from AliExpress for less than half of the price. The only difference was the brand name they had added on the Amazon one. Even the description was mostly copied.

I believe Jay Feldman has a whole podcast episode on this.

How do you keep them disease free? There's 2 things that keep me from keeping goats. I hear they are super susceptible to disease and the cougar population in my area.

I had 2 boxes of Cynomel and Cynoplus each. It took weeks before I heard anything. Probably 5-6 weeks or so.
The company did after I forwarded them the letter send me the order by airmail which went faster and was not intercepted.
They did the right thing but in the letter that I got from the FDA it also stated that the company did not have the correct paperwork. Because of that I would go with the first one that I mentioned.
However, I heard from others that their shipments were held too, so I'm not sure if they are getting stricter or that it's just a coincidence.

I have friends of mine do this all the time if they go to Mexico.
It's never been a problem. You can do carry on but I would think it's even less of a problem if you check it.

I buy from meds.com.mx
Delivery was quick.

Before that I ordered from mexmeds4you.com.mx.
That order got held by the FDA and I got a letter that it was a violation. Nothing happened further but I definitely would not recommend that pharmacy

I followed Danny Roddy's suggestions in his post. I took T3 during the day (cynomel) and after a few weeks added T3/T4 before bed (cynoplus). I quickly felt gittery. Now I only take just a 1/4 of cynomel 3 X a day. And a tiny piece of the cynoplus at night.
The one big change for me is that I don't have any more heart palpitations. I've had those since I was a teenager but worse since menopause.

@herayclitus
I would just ask. In many Asian or Mexican stores there's a butcher that prepares the meat. You can ask them for the thyroid. I often ask for parts of meat that they don't use for my dog and it's never an issue.
Standard supermarkets will never give it to you, they follow the rules.

It's to develop fear and panic so people spend more money on Christmas. It's a psyop

I like to chew sewak or miswak sticks. Works for me and I like the flavor.
I do still brush my teeth at night.
