TSH High?

[lgnorant]

it didn't damage it just produces too little t4 so you have to add some from the outside or is it that hard to understand....? anyway do what you think

Are u saying taking t4 for a period of time and then stopping won’t have my levels revert back to what they are ?

Is that not the same suggestion of someone with hypogonadism taking t and then stopping

The thyroid isn’t going to shut down the same way your endogenous testosterone production would. It’s not the same, no.

I will re test in another 6 weeks and if no significant improvement I will implement t4 as I will be doing my summer cut then also.

Summer cut in August?

In any case, trust what Luki says, he builds healthy mass monsters every year. He knows what he does better than many doctors. Bodybuilding is not for doctors in any case ..

My point is with no acertainable reason for hypo then the suggestion is life long medication

I’ve done
- free t4 and t3 = all clear
- antibodies = all clear

Last thing to do is ultrasound and if that comes back fine I will chalk this up to a who knows why and re test in 2 months time and hopefully it’s back to normal.

Don’t want to be married to thyroid meds over a possible false positive

This looks like subclinical hypothyroidism on paper, do you have any symptoms? (feeling cold easily, fatigue, brain fog, puffy face, etc) . some naturally have this set point and feel fine, other benefit from treatment.


If you are using HGH, your Free T4 will generally be lower.


When you stop using thyroid meds, the natural production will usually come back. Supplements don't usually restore thyroid function. If you believe it's from hard dieting, eating at maintenance for a while is your best bet.


Those labs with negative antibodies and symptoms would be called "idiopathic sublinical hypothyroidism" fancy term for we don't know the casue.

Apart from feeling cold sometimes (it is peak winter here in Australia however) I feel fine.

Could it be that since coming off my diet I have upped my cals to 3,500~ and im relatively holding my weight (176lb) at this caloric intake so my body is trying to pump alot of TSH to ramp up metabolism?

Generally, no. If you feel fine, i wouldn't worry about it. Some people just genetically have higher TSH and lower thyroid hormone, this has sometimes been linked to longetivity.
