Re: joint pains muscle aches

[Guest guest]

The aches and pains you have could be hypothyroid symptoms from lack of

ferritin, which is needed for thyroid utilization. Dr. no likes men's

ferritin at 150. You cannot donate blood more than 2x/year to keep those

levels. If you are getting erythrocytosis (thick blood), you need to adjust

your dose downwards, and take it more frequently. Maybe you can get by with 85

mg every 6 days or 70 mg every 5 days.

Dr. no also says T only needs to be at 650, though some feel better higher

and possibly lower too, so not sure how high your levels are. But suffice to

say, without adequate thyroid, every cell in your body will be negatively

affected.
