Apologies for this seemingly random question but which do members think has the ‘least worst’ effect on T4 - pain or analgesics?

Just trying to bump your query up a bit as you have had no replies yet.

I don’t know the answer to this BUT I rarely need to take painkillers. However if I need them I will take them and curiously they make me feel mentally better too - more relaxed. As I don’t need to take them all the time I have no idea how this would show up in testing T4. Maybe someone who has to take regular painkillers will come along and relate their experience.

Thanks. I avoid them too but recently found a couple of paracetamol make me feel as good as you say.

I would say neither….. I take AdvilDuel every night for chronic pain from psoriatic arthritis and my FT4 levels have been steady.
