Still using American Biologics thyroid glandular. I'm going up to 4 grains today: 1 tablet in the morning, 1 tablet in the evening. We'll see how that goes. My morning temperature is around 97.4 F. I started supplementing thyroid at 1/8 tablet a day back in May 2013, while my temperatures then were maxing out at around 97.3 F.
The thyroid hasn't made anywhere near the difference I was expecting it to temperature wise. But I have been slowly feeling better. I've put on about 40 pounds since I started following Peat's articles, and the biggest difference I've noticed is my mood stabilizing.
I've had major depression and severe chronic anxiety for many, many years, and while my temperatures have hardly budged, those two things have gotten better. It's still a struggle, but compared to how I used to be, I'd say this is nothing short of a miracle.
So who knows? The thyroid may be helping after all, in combination of course with the huge changes in diet. I haven't had any blood work done in a long time. I do know that before Peat and before thyroid supplementation my TSH was 2.99 and I felt absolutely horrible pretty much all the time.
I'm just going to keep being patient. I do feel like I'm getting stronger. I did a lot of damage to myself and changes aren't going to happen overnight. It'd be nice to get tested, and I should look into that. I'd need to order tests somewhere online and figure out how to do all that because my doctor isn't going to let me get tested for the things I want to be tested for and I don't want to let him know I'm taking thyroid and get into a huge debate over all this stuff.
