j. said:for what is worth, i believe the tests mean something. i have 6 months of peating. i just had a thyroid test where my TSH was like 1.7, which is the lowest it's been in 5 years or so (i didn't do tests before). 3 months ago, it was 3.3. so my feelings of improvement where matched by an improvement in test numbers. by the way, i'm in my late 20s and don't take thyroid, i'm trying to see how far the diet can take me.
Yes yes, they do mean something. Just can not be relied upon for a full picture in the face of symptoms. Thats my point. Yes a TSH on a downwards trend, especially if this is consistent for a series of bloods (probably 3+) is a good sign, nobody will deny that (Peat included).
Thats the whole point Im making. Trialrun should now consider his symptoms and perhaps try the reflex tests etc. But the blood tests do NOT confirm his thyroid is functioning well.
There is no adrenal fatigue. Another unproven medical theory and helps to sell prednisolone and other synthetic corticosteroids.
