Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 >Nick, i'm not on natural or any thyroid at all. Then your numbers are high, are you sure that you are hypo????? Most people would love their labs to be there. > >Many thyroid experts believe temps aren't always correct. In a hypothyroid state people can manifest differently in order to cope. Increased adrenaline etc is just one. Nothing is perfect, low temperature is a definite marker of problems, normal needn't mean there isn't a problem. >I think what is common in the state is SENSITIVITY to cold. For example, i am fine in a heated room in winter but as soon as things get a bit cold my whole body freezes whilst other people cope much better. My ACTH stimulation test was perfect so my adrenals work fine. I believe poor circulation to be the cause of this from hypoT. It takes more than an ACTH stim to prove adrenals are ok. Cold sensitivity is a common adrenal marker. > >I have a pretty strong case of thyroid resistance. When thyroid is as high as mine in the blood (making me very skinny) i am thinking that this can help to raise temperature although superficially. Skinny build and high labs does not sound hypo. Could you actually be hyper in terms of your own production (hence the skinny build) and this have triggered RT3 as a protective mechanism causing the effective hypo symptoms. The resistance is induced by your own over production taking hyper to hypo?? Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
