Hi everybody
Was recommended this forum by a friend after we looked at my blood test. He said there is some bright people in here
Im 41 male originally from europe. Been eating very clean food for a long time. tried many diets. still weight gain. tired as well.
Im 100% organic. never touch sugar,msg,aspartame or processed foods. my diet is NOT the issue.
Tried paleo diet. raw food diet. vegan. vegetarian. ayurvedic etc.
did fasting many times. lost some but quickly regained regardless of diet. My friends call me a freak of nature as I gain weight on same diet they loose weight on. I did EAT STOP EAT for many months.
Right now Im only drinking green juices and are loosing some weight slowly. I figured if I stop taking ANY fats and stop eating basically I MUST be loosing some fatty tissues.
Oh yes I know I know carbs makes you fat, not fat. did the no carb diet too. same same.
I did blood test as I was suspecting this is hormonal issue some time ago and found low test. I took clomid 25mg EOD for about 4 weeks and went to do another blood test. this time I checked a few more things and was shocked.
I got diagnosed by the local MD metabolic syndrome and hypothyroid based on these numbers:
total cholesterol: 304 mg/dl (0-200)
HDL 25 mg/dl (40 mg/dl)
Triglycerides 1068 mg/dl (0-150)
VLDL 214 mg/dl
LDL 82 mg/dl (0-100)
TSH 13.3 (0.270 -4.200)
T3 96.0 ng/dl (80-200)
T4 1.17 ng/dl ((0.90 - 1.90)
progesterone 0.70 (0.2 - 1.4)
estradiol 72.00 pg/ml
Total Test 8.44 ng/ml (2.8 - 8.0)
free test results will come in 2 weeks.
I asked for other things to be tested but they forgot to do that and remembered to charge me for it. welcome to south america.
So here is what I see:
EMERGENCY need to cut triglycerides down asap. Im now only drinking green juices only. 0 fats. forces the body to eat its own I hope. 5 days in. lost around 500 grams a day so far. will continue until im down in triglycerides to normal level. people have done this for months and saved their lives. I currently dont care about looks or muscles. just want to feel healthy and have energy.
I live in south america in a small town and have not much access to a good MD or Meds. will have to order all online and basically treat myself. so all your help in needed.
Cholesterol is high. think clomid fucked with that too. test was normal but thats thanks to clomid as it was low few months ago. super low.(200)
I stopped clomid. Thinking of doing aromasin as I seem to find lots of evidence it does NOT mess with cholesterol, triglycerides etc.
This would possibly help on the high E2 and keep my test in range. hopefully. Need your input on that.
as for the thyroid I am new to this as I have done very little research on this. had no idea it was this much in trouble. high TSH but t3 and t4 seems to be in range. how do I help the TSH into normal range? im clueless.
I did roids in my 30ies. 4 cycles. since then I always felt my balls never really came back. did PCT etc. but I just never became the same again. started gaining weight NO MATTER what I did. training my butt off 2 times a day and eat super clean did nothing. steady weight gain. steady loss of energy. had to have coffee to just get started on my day. right now on juices only I am feeling some energy. but it comes and goes in waves unpredictable. pretty much chronic fatigued out. Did adrenal glandulars and herbal remedies for adrenals. did not work. also I lost my libido by 80-90% now. Prostate is enlarged as I need to pee several times a night now.
the power of hormones is insane.
Im pretty much 35 kg overweight now despite all efforts. but lots of muscles underneath. 181 cm tall.
I need advice on the thyroid especially as I have no idea what to do.
and feedback on the plans for aromasin.
hope you guys in here can help out.
by the way great forum.
thanks
