selenium

Following advice from Thyroid UK and using The Thyroid Solution book by Dr Ridha Arem, I started using Zinc-15mg/B12-1000mcg/Coenzyme Q10-30mg, all daily, and
Selenium
-200mcg/Magnesium-375mg every other day. I also switched taking thyroxine to bedtime last September.

Getting better!
Magnesium, calcium & Zinc, SAM-e, 5HTP,
Selenium
, hemp oil ( my hair had got so coarse & crispy ! Then I remembered Hemp oil taken orally is a very good source of Omeaga, and makes your hair so soft, it really does! ) I stopped eating Almonds, apparently they aren't good for your thyroid!

NatureThroid Confusion
It's been an entire year now, since I started and through it all, I feel like I've been in and out of Hyperthyroid, due to possibly the
Selenium
pushing me over, however that works, I'm not sure, but I just kept on, thinking it will even out. So, about a month ago, I ran out of
Selenium
.

Starting T3 - dosage help please!
I am also supplementing B12, D, ferritin, folate,
selenium
, vitamin C, zinc & copper, Co-enzyme Q10 etc. I feel quite good on some days but still not brilliant on others. I get a real 'crash' every day about 2 - 4p.m.

Starting dose of Levothyroxine for subclinical hypothyoidism
(I've also started eating brazil nuts every day for
selenium
!). Anyway, my doctor gave me a prescription in case I decide I want to trial the Thyroxine. I picked it up, and see that the instruction from her is to take 25 ug/day.

Blue Horizon Blood Tests
And last of all, when I go for the blood test should I stop taking any vitamin supplements for a week before (Vitamin D - 5000iu, B12 -1000mcg, Tesco version of Berroca, thinking or also starting
Selenium
)? Sorry for the long ramble but I think I have got everything in.

Blood results back from Blue Horizon. Advice required on what to say to GP!
I will be ordering
Selenium
and a few other bits today. I would be very grateful for any advice on how I can be best prepared for my GP visit as I would prefer to trial on Levo rather than wait. Does it look like T4 is not converting?

Has anyone with Beta Thalassemia improved their thyroid function and anemia the natural way without going on medication.
I'm eating Brazil nuts to increase my
selenium
. How do I increase my haemoglobin levels? Should I be trying to increase my haemoglobin levels by eating a small piece of blood sausage everyday? I've read that we can't absorb a lot of iron and excess iron in the blood can cause huge problems.

Supplements May Help
I mostly come across with; Butchers broom: improve lymphotic flow
Selenium
: Reduce fluid retention Horse chesnut: pain relief in legs and reduction of inflmation Bio rutin: imrove blood circulation, allows the small vessels of blood (capillaries) to remain open and some more.
