@Insomniac Im trialing propranolol 10mg with great succes for now. The main two things it helped was maintaining calm and structured thought and action in stressful, high stakes situations and it mostly eliminated the red face blushing I would get in such situations. Both helped with self confidence even though I already trusted myself in such situations. I even genuinely enjoyed those moments now. I do take pregnenolone, t3 with cola and theanine at the same time but adding in the propranolol gave the biggest change. Aside from being a beta antagonist, it's also a kind of weak but still significant serotonin antagonist on several receptors. I still wouldn't like taking it daily for other potential sides and I'm hoping, maybe foolishly, that taking it for a while with thyroid will make some kind of more permanent change to how my body deals with stress, tipping the favor to thyroid instead of adrenaline.

RE: Help with EU Sources
@wester130 To be used sublingually then? I remember reading this form getting converted to thiamine HCl in the stomach.
Also UK is not EU source -
RE: Amoxicillin (Augmentin) gave me a diarrhea and possibly IBD flare up
Ray said positive things about lidocaine for bleeding colitis. You might research on that for a bit.
Also, acute gastrointestinal problems and fever could also be an allergic reaction to augmentin.

RE: My hormones are nonsensical and I haven't taken roids before. What do?
@Stinky-bill-19 thats good temps, but not necessarily due to good thyroidfunction I think. The Vyvanse could be giving higher temps, do you smoke or drink coffee before measuring? Edit: also hows your peripheral temp, do you have cold feet, nose etc?

RE: My hormones are nonsensical and I haven't taken roids before. What do?
Yeah I agree that your liver is struggling bc elevated bilirubin, elevated albumin, high free t3 and lowish shbg. Low thyroid functioning doesnt help. As said above, more carbs and thyroid supp could help with the liver but doesn't adress the thyroid itself directly, though a healthy liver makes way for healing the thyroid (and other organs), but is your diet in general kind to your liver, GI tract and thyroid to begin with? Look a bit into Ray's reasonings why certain foods can be (un)helpful.
Keep an eye on cholesterol when going on thyroid, it shouldn't go any lower as it is now.
Also kidneys dont exactly seem super healthy bc of high creatinine (and thus lowish egfr) and high potassium or did you just do some heavy exercise or take creatine hours to a day before the labs maybe?
Prolactin, LH and rt3 would've been helpful labs indeed.
Your doctor is most probably very wrong in thinking you need trt in the future. -

Why not post the whole lab? How's your cholesterol, how are your kidneys doing, did you get prolactin tested, hows your iron panel, bloodcount..

RE: Niacinimide for PUFA depletion
@Galaroc I don't do more than 150iu per day and mostly only take it if it was a pufa heavy day. Too much vitE has its own problems and disbalances. I also just don't stress too much about it. It's not forever, you can do better after you had a great time in beautiful Guatemala.

RE: Niacinimide for PUFA depletion
@Galaroc been traveling central america a lot the past 2 years and pufa is a huge problem here if you don't cook yourself. Best thing you can do is tocovit or similar mixed vit E or bring your own coconutoil and ask to cook with that, or cook yourself. Also temporarily you can just add a teaspoon of coconutoil after each meal to balance out/displace the pufa you are consuming.

RE: Fill me in on why I should boil my vegetables
@john can the boiling water be used or does it contain to much of said toxic substances. Seems like a waste of minerals and other possibly desired watersoluble things?
