Need advice regarding dosage and labs on NDT
Hello to everyone, this is my first post here. I was diagnosed with micro papillary with follicular variant in April of 2007 and underwent a TT followed by 209 mCi RAI. I've been on various doses of synthroid for the past 10.5 years. Most recently, I switched to NDT ERFA on August 11, 2017 from 175mcg

5 weeks post RAI
Had RAI treatment 5 weeks ago. I should have had it much sooner as my symptoms ( all 1000)) of them raged on even with Antithyroid meds for months. My most recent bloods have shown improvement. Since Grave’s original diagnosis my TSH now registers 0.01, T4 1.7 and T3 is 3.4.. see my Endo this week and

Advice please?
Hi. I'm a hypothyroid male who was put on levothyroxine after radio iodine treatment in ever increasing doses (150mcg) when I last took them. The Levo made me feel quite awful, making me itch badly but giving me the most debilitating insomnia ever. Through research and going to forums like this I discovered
