Hypothyroidism

Member Stories Lab Tests
#1

Hi

I went to my endocrinologist because I have still no libido and fat body and face. He checked my homorne. Everything is in range, but he found that I have High level of Thyroxine T4L 10.0 ng/L (6.1-11.2) and high TSH 3.87 mUI/L (0.34-5.60)

for him, I have Hypothyroidism. He check my thyroid with ultrasound device and found that I have to much iodine in it and a goiter.

he asked me if I was eating alga, I said no but I was taking Vitamins-minerals supplement

for him I have to stop it, if not my thyroid won’t be able to work properly.

My question is do you think I have Hypothyroidism because of propecia or because I’am taking too much supplement and especially iodine?

How much iodine are you taking? These tests don’t provide a clear picture of anything really. You need more, visit the thyroid threads here. Ft3, rt3, ft4, etc.

I am taking centrum or twinlab which contain both 150 mcg iodine, which is 100% DV

Try stopping and see what happens. Personally I don’t like multivitamins. Your kidneys work overtime to excrete the extra and you have no idea if what you are taking is absorbable.

I do think that I’d you’re developing a goiter your should listen to your doctor and try and request further testing.
