Wonder if it's linked to Queuine Deficiency dysregulating tetrahydrobiopterin.

The heart cannot utilize phenylalanine appropriately when BH4 is dysregulated. Also why peroxynitrites build up causing arterial stiffening, calcification and scarring.

Cholestrol doesn't cause heart attacks, it's just trying to heal wounds, which is what it does. It's the unhealable calcified scars that is the problem.

There are doctors who will treat you before you're out of the normal range. If you could get in to see a young-ish internist with a good teaching hospital, they are less likely to dismiss you just because you're in the normal range. Most people feel their best with a TSH range between 1 and 2.

Please stay in touch. I used to be a thyroid advocate with ThyroidChange and can help you navigate some roadblocks. You don't have to live like this.

Disclaimer- I had to fight to get my Graves' disease tested for and properly treated.
