I used thyroid off and on and it’s hard for me to say. I had tachycardia for quite some time so it was a delicate balance between not worsening that symptom yet correcting my hypo symptoms. Food alone wasn’t miraculously fixing my metabolism. T3 was better in my case than T4 which seemed to build up and then massively release and cause uncomfortable symptoms. I think treating my hypothyroid symptoms on my own was not the best idea. I still ended up faring better than most of the other people I know following that method of recovery despite being in my mid-late 40’s so I’m sure it helped but it would have been a better experience if I had had expert guidance.Thanks Blossom.
I wonder how much it would help (I suspect a huge amount) to give these people thyroid supplements especially T3.
