I have been carefully having my thyroid monitored (monthly) while on the MP. I take Synthroid (T4) and Cytomel. (T3)
Since starting the MP, my thyroid seems to be converting T4 to T3 better now, as evidenced by my lab tests, so I've lowered my T3 supplementation while increasing my T4. This is a good sign.
I just had new labs drawn yesterday, so will see if it's changed again, next Dr visit. I will try to remember to post here, with any updated info.
I just started Phase 2 of the MP. I used to take low dose armour thyroid, but am now totally off supplementation. My recent lab results for thyroid function look fine.
