Dang, didn't know about the cholestrol connection---
Although, now I am on 2 different cholestrol medicines, plus my Levoxyl for my thyroid...of course, the docs didn't tell me there is prolly a connection...thanks
I have a really marginal form of hypothyroidism, where the doc has not prescribed any levothyroxin. TSH is marginally elevated, T4 within range but on the low end of the range, T3 normal, basal metabolism is indeed slow. W/O the bicycle racing activities that I participate in (training anywhere from 200 to 300 miles/week), I would be on a diet of under 1900 kcal/day, and that's at 220 pounds. Resting heart rate is slow, but in a big part due to fitness. Doc still watches the thyroid chemistry on a regular basis, as well as checking my training logs (this is one of the best sports medicine docs in the Twin Cities).
