thyroid recovery

[SilverTest]

hey guys

1) how long does the thyroid take to rebound after 4 weeks usage at 100 mcg per day ?

2) does it rebound suddenly , or gradually return to normal?

3) what is more important to test as far as blood work to insure normal thyroid function, TSH or T3 levels ?

The response is purely individual but in general, as most of the inner glands, it will bounce back gradually.

Regarding your last question, there are many values to check but the starting ones are TSH (which regulates the amount of T4/T3 in the blood) and FT3, FT4, which are the free portions of those hormones.

TSH is regulated by TRH...

x2.

He answered everything you needed.

On a side note, the thyroid is a relatively, lets say, 'dumb' or 'slow' gland, even weeks into treatment of exogenous thyroid hormones, it will still continue to produce t4, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) will drop quite rapidly. The t4/t3 feedback system is quite complex. To put things simply, you will bounce back very quickly after a 4 week cycle, maybe even in 2 weeks or less. I would bet on less.

Like BJJ stated, get your full thyroid panel checked, but if you can't, then get TSH checked as this will determine how much t4 you make.

My last TSH blood test came back on the low-normal range, and this was after 2 months on T3, so my body was still producing T4, even though i was supplementation with exogenous T3.
