Good morning, having a TSH always tending to high , averaging 3.50 or 4 MicrUi/ML I am thinking of trying lavo-thyroxine and see if it solves my mental fog accompanied by confusion and poor concentration.
I was thinking of something like 25 micrograms to start , does anyone have experience? Thanks
 
Using t3 (6mcg twice daily) will likely alleviate your symptoms short-term but try finding the root cause of your symptoms which unfortunately could be many....
too much e2, too little dht, too little dhea, too much stress, overtraining, depression etc

I recommend measuring ft3 and ft4. Supplement with iodine and selenium before adding thyroid hormones.

Hi thank you for your reply .
My e2 and dht were quite good in the last examinations .
The dhea was also ok .

I am 38 years old and these are the values :
Dht 579.26 pg/mL 250 - 990
Estradiol 22.6 pg/mL 0.0 - 39.8
Dhea-S 188.1 ug/dL 34.5 - 568.
Just cortisol it so High :
23.92 > ug/dL 5.27 - 22.45

I try take thyrosine,zinc,selenium and iodine two months but dont work for me .

Check your gut and digestion. Many with "brain fog" have some kind of ongoing intestinal infection like H Pylori or have digestion problems (gluten sensitivity, low stomach acid, low pancreatic enzymes etc). As said above, if you don't address the actual problem, you will be just covering up symptoms with thyroid medications.

Hi and thank you for your response. I've been trying the vertical diet (and therefore low FODMAP) for a few days now, and from tomorrow I'll also eliminate supplements except for probiotics, so I can assess. I've also come to the conclusion that everything is about digestion. Do you have any other advice to give me on this? Thank you."
