My inclination is that NDT should reduce TSH levels.
I am asking this because after seeing my 2.5 year old twin boys' lab TSH levels I feel a bit puzzled. My boys have been on (half a grain) thyroid for about two months. One of them is autistic and the other has a lot of developmental issues. When I wrote a detailed email to Ray Peat about their conditions, he suggested thyroid and Pregnenolone for them.
Two days ago they had some blood work done. My autistic son's Tsh is 3.25 and the others' 2.56. Well, maybe that should not be so surprising as their temperatures didn't rise at all since starting the supplementation!
I am asking this question as I was wondering maybe the body can differentiate between NDT and its own. And the fact that its own production is declining might raise TSH. Just a thought...
I am on NDT as well for some time and I have not seen my improvement either. When I take it, for a short period of time my pulse goes up but quickly comes down and stays low until the dose. I am guessing that I have T4 to T3 conversion issue. Maybe they have the same thing.
What do you think?
