Help with NDT / T3 dosing please, and ferritin!
Hi there, I'm 49, and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s around 2014/15. I took thyroxine 50mcg for about a year, which didn’t help much, then increased to 75mcg thyroxine plus 10 - 20 mcg T3 per day (seems I don’t convert too well) I was actually feeling pretty ok on this dose, though not quite my old self

Medicate? Still unsure...
I posted my results maybe 3 months ago. I went on WP thyroid for a couple weeks at the smallest dose possible. Stopped due to throat soreness. Decided to take iodine with tyrosine, selenium and zinc. Just retested and all the same but tsh lower. Reverse t3 is 11.5 and range is 9-27ng/dl. I didn't have

Blood Test Results
My Levo dose was increased from 100mcg to 125mcg at the beginning of September as I was still feeling unwell. I am pleased to say this has made a difference and I'm feeling much better. However I still have some days where I am feeling slightly nauseous with brain fog. I am wondering whether this will

Betrayal - Episode 5, part 1
This was so long but so important and rather horrific to tell the truth. It is about the toxins we face especially in the U.S. with the rise of chemical imports. One anecdote will make you laugh and then possibly cry. The first patient worked in a dental office and began having rashes from the latex

Vitamin K advice please.

Get to normal
This is my first posting. I have been on a combination of t4 100 mcg t3 20mcg and 200 mcg of selenium now for 6 months. My blood work has improved but not much in the normal range.
