ssivitality, Bless you. Battling thyroid myself right now.
It sounds like you may have either sublinical hyperthyroidism or Hyperthroidism and if your TSI is elevated along with a really low TSH like you have, it could be Graves Disease.
I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (elevated antibodies), BUT, it has not gone into Hypothyroid Disease so medication is needed. I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with Graves Disease (Hyperthryoidism) as well. This week I was told that I did NOT have Graves Disease....I was misdiagnosed almost 2 years ago. With that said, they say I have Subclinical Thyroid Disease. I am presently on Methimazole 5 mg and they are changing me to PTU. The Methimazole caused neuropathy symptoms and extreme itching.
Thyroid is very complicated. Please read Isabelle Wentz book on Thyroid Disease. She cured herself from Thyroid Disease with healthy eating and supplements. She is a Pharamacist. I personally could not go by her strict protocol.
To be honest, I believe the high protein, almost no carb diet, too low of fats, sea salt (which has no iodine in it which your thyroid needs) & hardly no complex or simple carbs threw me into Thyroid Disease. I lost a lot of weight fast on this plan back in 2016 and the end of the year I started having symptoms. I personally cannot recommend this type diet to anyone after my experience. We need healthy fats...we need iodine...we need a few simple carbs & we need complex carbs. I went to the Endocrinologist in 2017 explaining my symptoms and she ran all the tests and diagnosed me with Hashimotos.
One medication that they do not prescribe much any more is Naltrexone for Thyroid Disease. It can treat both hyper & hypo, but, you have to start low and build up. It is for inflammation in the body as well. I couldn't tolerate the Synthroid or the Armour. The Naltrexone gave me bad headaches. Since I only had the high antibodies, she said I really didn't need to be on anything. Hashimoto's can push you over into Hyperthyrodism. You can go back and forth between Hypo & Hyper. Both of these diseases can have the same symptoms.
I go every 3 months for bloodwork and I get an ultrasound of my Thyroid.
I wish you the best with this. It's not easy to get a balance on meds, but, once you do, you feel so much better.
Praying for you. New Year Blessings to you.

Thank you for this response. I will take a look at suggested reading.
Diet is very important. Consumption consists of whole food only, no caffeine whatsoever, grains known to cause problems, zero dairy products. As much live and in season food as possible. No refined sugars, only good fats but most important that I’ve found is regular before 10pm sleep and up before sunrise. Only drink water with lemon or lime as well as herb t until nine then fruit only until noon. Proper food combining essential. Regular elimination daily a must, clean teeth and mouth, feet and body. Daily exercise, even just walking.
I got my test results Jan 06. What has the above protocols done for me so far?
Has brought resting heart rate down, lowered, at least eliminated the over 100bpm just sitting and the booming of my heart in pillow when trying to sleep.
I was supplementing with acerola C, probiotics, ComplexB but now not regularly, at the moment.
I am meditating twice daily which makes a huge difference.
Were low adrenals and haven’t recently checked back on that yet.
Stress has been large and is the contributing factor as my lifestyle is fairly clean and much more now.
Other stay had huge recurring stress factor I couldn’t avoid. That night boom boom in pillow again. Upped meditations, sleep and avoidance of all stressors best I can.
I believe my body has ability to heal itself, with my help and mindfulness.
I’ve started incorporating a herbal blend formulated for hypothyroidism sourced locally. Will report back in a mnths time so again, thank you for suggested read.
