> Hi Zo,
> Good to hear from you. I haven't been around much either. I didn't quite understand your message. Are you on synthroid and cytomel now or was this another recommendation you came across? I've been taking Armour thyroid with the T4/T3 for many years, having been on a T4 synthroid generic previously. I know I do better with T3 for my hypothyroidism. Lately I've been considering if I want to go with synthetic T4 again and add cytomel, so your post is very timely. Armour has T1, T2 and maybe others and I don't know if that's a good thing or if it's more burden for the liver. But a bigger issue is that I've stopped eating critters, just can't do it anymore, and the pork derived Armour is bothering my conscience. Unfortunately, soybeans for protein are not a big option since soy isoflavones block thyroxine update. We need a new food. - Barbara
>Barbara,
Do you know how significant the effect of soy on thyroid is? I face the same problem getting enough protein and also take t4 and t3. I know my mood causes my eating patterns to change drastically but now I wonder if diet changes are also changing mood perhaps by way of soy to thyroid levels to mood.
