Pretty much what Peatful said, whoever is taking it doesn't have enough fuel in the tank. Make sure they are eating enough (varies on the body but in my experience 2500-3000 calories minimum), vitamin and mineral levels that come to mind would be biotin, selenium, magnesium, retinol and d3 but probably a whole host of others as well.

I guess we are more taken aback by the massive increase than anything. NDT was only being used for a couple of weeks tops before the test, and it was only in the 40-80mg range. If anything would have expected a decrease in TSH.
Maybe this is why NDT increases my need and tolerance of an ace inhibitor. Vitamin D3 has the opposite effect, it forces me to lower the dosage of the ace inhibitor, maybe due to hypercalcemia lowering TSH, parathyroid hormone and that blocks the RAAS. I quickly become intolerant of this state though.
Totally agree with you. We are trying it in the context of a full health building program. Looks like the amount of food eaten is the biggest hurdle to get past now.

I went through a long period of severe calorie restriction and in this time even the caffeine content in a few swigs of pepsi would tank me, shaking hands, shaky mental state etc, NDT is STRONG stuff comparatively. It may be worth looking into thyroid surrogates first such as aspirin (anecdotally I've found ingesting wintergreen oil an easy way to get a clean source) or maybe low dose caffeine, maybe even a combination of the two. Methylene blue also helps with metabolism but I have no experience with this personally.
Did you repeat the thyroid panel just to make sure the TSH result wasn’t an error? From my understanding, adrenaline can lower TSH so if their result wasn’t an error or a dietary issue, perhaps NDT lowered stress hormones that were likely elevated to compensate for poor thyroid function and revealed what their TSH really is?

I just reread the top post and it occurred to me how out of whack this TSH number is. Any possibility that there's a pituitary problem? Tumor maybe? TSH is a pituitary hormone.
