@anniepie For some resin the Big 3 interferes with thyroid medication. Perhaps your doctor will increase the amount you are on. As for cholesterol meds, since those increase liver enzymes, they pose a problem when taken with the Big 3. I was taken off the cholesterol meds (or at least given the choice) since I needed the Big 3 more. (irene5)

Another thought is that MAC itself interferes with your thyroid. I remembered that before I was diagnosed, my doctor commented on how I had stopped taking my thyroid medication. I told her I hadn’t missed a day since I was 18! That same year I was diagnosed with MAC, and my thyroid has had to be monitored carefully ever since.
