As an experiment, I have stopped drinking coffee for a few days (4 days so far), and have noticed that my usually cold extremities are now consistently warm, which presumably means my thyroid function is improving.
Can anyone help me figure out why this might be happening? My guess is that I'm just more sensitive than most to caffeine, and was only getting the stress response from coffee, even when drinking it with meals. Now that there's no stress response, my thyroid is able to function more comfortably. Does that seem plausible?
In any case, I'll give it another week or so before reaching any conclusions.
EDIT: I should also mention that my bowel function seems to be improving, which is (speculatively) a result of the improvement to thyroid function.
