question: Hi- My cholesterol total was 323...I went on a strict diet for 6 weeks. Now my total cholesterol is 281. I am being treated for hypothyroid and am very sensitive to medication ( a liitle goes a long way). Am taking 25 mg of synthroid. My TSH bounces around between 2.0-2.7. I have noticed that when my cholesterol is up, my TSH goes up, and vise versa. I also have started leaking urine from my bladder, and have just been diagnosed with a kidney stone. Are these changes in health related? Hormonal? ...or am I just getting old (64 years old, female). I am also taking natural hormones sublingually (bi-est, and 95 mg progesterone. Thanks for the input.
