I had a question regarding taking exogenous T4 in the form of straight T4 or NDT and its effects on body temperature.
A year ago or so I came across the blog of a guy who focused on bringing up body temperatures. He said that taking T4 (either straight or just NDT) would put a "cap" on the body temperature at 98 degrees after 1 month supplementing. He said that even though it was helpful in bringing up low temps, that in resting situations the temp couldn't get past 98 degrees. He went on to explain why but I can't remember his explanation. He told me to look around and I would find the same thing. I remember coming across an article that Mary Shoman (from Stop the Thyroid Madness) saying how she couldn't get her temps all the way up to 98.6 but only up to 98. Then I tried it on myself (I have extremely low T3) for 2 months and found that my resting temps indeed couldn't get up past 98 degrees.
I figured I would have read about this somewhere prior. Have any of you guys and gals heard of this before?
For you who have been taking NDT for a period of time, have you find this to be true?
In reading others posts, I've never seen a mention of it. But he was adamant that it was indeed true and it was a reason not to take it.
I guess I'm just curious if anyone else has heard this. Thanks guys and gals!
