Re: coccnot oil

 I was on high dose iodine 'lugols' for several months, it did not help my hypothyroidism.

I also use coconut oil, although i don't know how much it has help my thyroid, but i like it because you can cook with it at high temperatures without danger of transfats. I only use coconut oil, butter or olive oil.

Maca is the only thing that has imcreased my temps and i think a green powder is helping too. My hypo started with the menopause, so maybe caused by unbalanced hormones in my case.

This is very likely.  Hypothyroidism is very common after menopause as high levels of unopposed estrogen from the body and from estrogen replacement therapy will suppress thyroid function.

I tried doing a home cholesterol test, but couldn't get enough blood from finger to fill the resevoir, so still don't know what my cholesterol is doing.

It would be interesting to see if mine is high.

Cholesterol testing is not very accurate to begin with, but finger sticks for cholesterol tests are even less accurate.  Make sure that you are relaxed for 15 to 20 minutes before taking the blood sample, and never drink coffee before this or any other lab test.
