So Synthroid was actually the last thing we tried! We did the compounds, generics, etc. and nothing was working until Synthroid. My levels were good T3 was right where we wanted it T4 was within range as well. My complaint is that my boujee ass body of course "requires" that I take the name brand!
Synthroid was actually what led me to realize the issues people can have with generics and different manufacturers etc. I had never thought of that before but its a big deal esp as someone who is on seizure meds.
Ahh so high-intensity interval training cardio would be better? I am a weird person who loves cardio and running but willing to move into whatever will help me not take any more drugs!
Bookmarked this comment as well for that article!
I'd be interested to know if they tried you on liothyronine (Cytomel/NP Thyroid) or Armour Thyroid. Blood TSH, T4, or T3 are not always a good measure of thyroid function.
Maybe this isn't your case, but many people who take Synthroid just end up feeling hot, becoming heat intolerant, and/or losing weight without a real increase in energy.
Seizures are often related to metabolism as well. It is theorized that the brain's ability to use glucose for fuel has been compromised, much like what is happening with diabetes.
Yes, occasional high-intensity running will often give many more benefits without the negatives of long-distance.
And don't forget sunlight. Super underutilized.
