Incidentally your brain is bigger the higher your TSH, smaller the rise in T4

and T3 levels.

Hi Dawn, I expect it is swollen with the mucin that causes myxodema which would also explain headaches. > thyroid treatment > From: stfluffybrain@...> Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:56:20 +0000> Subject: your brain changes size with treatment, awesome > > http://www.ajnr.org/cgi/content/full/23/9/1539> > Incidentally your brain is bigger the higher your TSH, smaller the rise in T4 and T3 levels. > > > > ------------------------------------> > TPA is not medically qualified.

This article might also have some relevence to the topic of taurine which has

recently been discussed on this board.

Quote from article:

" In humans, taurine concentrations in blood platelets are reduced in

hyperthyroidism and increased in hypothyroidism. After treatment, the changes

reverse "

So what are the implications when a hypothyroid human ingests taurine?

Hi

I am right with u there and that quote was intiguing. If I hadn't already been

taking tauring I might have considered it from this quote in the paper. Luckily

some of us are now taking it and I am hoping it is helping.

I think I am sleeping better, but I also put my thyroid hormones up lately so is

difficult to discern which is giving me the benefit. I THINK I am less swollen

but cannot be sure of this comment long term as yet.

Wonder if my brain has got smaller hehe./

I assume as my TSH went down my brain did get smaller cos I no longer felt like

someone had used my head as a football all night when I woke up in the morning

after starting armour with the direct T3 in it.

It had started to feel a little bad on a morning again so I put up my

naturethroid but I also started the taurine. No football head, good, back to

feeling fresher on a morning again.

Fingers crossed.

lotsa luv
