Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 anne,... do you find that the high E effects your thyroid at all? Are you on any thyroid meds? What does your E show on tests? Is your SHBG high? Can't say definitively that high E has effected my thyroid, I'm just eyeing it. Actually going on armour, 4 grains now, and cortef, has made me more hypoT as it will when you need to increase. And it seems as if I need less E now. I read in Philip Young's book on thyroid, Thyroid, Guardian of Health, that E will fill the thyroid receptors as it has a strong affinity. I'm thinking this is why I need less E now that I am on armour. Not a lot less E, but I have been able to give up my two shots of E gel before bed.
