Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 > > Hi Bee and thyroid experts, > > So I've been on the diet almost six weeks and had my thyroid labs checked as you recommended to see if I should reduce medication. I have Hashimotos and also reverse T3 which means I don't convert T4 to T3 efficiently as normal people do so I take a sustained release bio-identical T3 medication without any T4 (as there is in Armour and Synthroid/Levoxyl). > > When I compare my results to those of 6 weeks ago pre-diet: > TSH is lower but still in range. Not sure why. > T3 is higher but still near top of range (This is good. Either my HCL is helping me use my medication more effectively or the Candida diet is working!!) > > T4 is for the first time ever LOW out of range. Totally confounded by that. > > Bee-Do you think I should stay on my current level of T3 med for now and check it in another month or reduce? Anyone else want to take a stab an interpreting? +++Hi Chris. If your dose needs to be lowered your doctor should be advising you, but I think you need more time. Check it in another month. Also post the actual test results for me next time. Luv, Bee Quote
