It's been a few weeks since my last post, but I wanted to bring everyone up to date on my current status.
After a plethora of tests, and doctors, I decided to take matters into my hands. I had the lab run all of my tests again, and I took aim at resolving the various areas that I felt were in my control. They were my D3, B12, Iron, Testosterone, LDL, cholesterol, and glucose. So I supplemented and began eating a very strict diet. (In the beginning my diet was mostly just a superior plant protein powder with tons of super foods, since my appetite was gone)
In 5 weeks time, all of the above levels were optimized and I am feeling 80% better. My RT3 went from a very high 33, to 20 as well. My cortisol was also low, but now its optimal.
I have never taken anything for my Secondary Hypo, with the exception of propranolol, which is for the HR and palpitations., and they are basically gone. So I am hoping to get off this soon.
The only issue that I have run into, is that my BP will rise for no apparent reason. It is usually around 130/80, but sometime will rise to 154/90, and stay there for a few days.
Any idea?
Anyway, for those of you who are struggling, I would suggest getting all your vitals checked and working on optimizing your levels. It is working for me (Praise the Lord)

DanteNXS, Have thyroid levels been retested? Secondary hypothyroidism means your thyroid doesn't receive sufficient stimulation to produce thyroid hormone and you may need replacement.

I just got tested today, should have the results back next week.
I forgot to mention that I am also seeing a functional chiropractor, who has been adjusting my upper Spine. He stated that it was compressed, which affects the endocrine system.
I was told the same. Not in all cases it works. I did get some benefit naturally, my periods stopped being awfully painful, but I figured that the reason for my upper spine to be painful and stiff is low t3 which causes muscle issues. Yet for some it might be the other way around, you might get great benefits from fixing it and I hope it works for you. Vague nerve can cause tons of nasty symptoms!
My understanding, is that every area of the body is directly/indirectly, controlled by the CNS, and that the nerves which run through the spine/discs, are meshed. Example, C1, C7, T2, and T9, if compressed, would lead to all kinds of endocrine and heart issues.
True, but when the damage is done elsewhere for other reason then fixing your back does not cure, thats what I meant.
But like I said, my periods aren't painful anymore it fixed something that was compressed. I do think anyone should try it as it might be the solution for some people. Not that expensive to try and you get to feel relaxed and nice anyways even though it did not fix the root cause
How can you treat the root cause without functional medicine testing like food sensitivities, stool samples, urine, saliva, to diagnose leaky gut etc..?
That's a very good question and I apologize for not mentioning it.
I was tested for parasites, ulcers, Lyme disease, but not any of the other stuff, until recently. My functional chiropractor advised me on what to take to heal my gut and my diet is very gut friendly. He stated that levels would not have optimized unless my gut was in good shape.
I am waiting for the results on the tests you mentioned, hopefully all is well, if not then I will do what's necessary to resolve it.

What is the difference between the antibodies tested please?
Why are FT4 and FT3 stuck at the bottom of the range despite increasing Levothryoxine?
