hormone conversion and selenium
Currently on lots of vitamins and supplements plus
synthroid
. I am hoping this helps with conversion for me before i take the plunge of asking to try cytomel for T3. Has anyone seen proof of selenium working with that with your labs and if so, how long did it take & how much did you take daily.

Skip Synthroid dose on day of blood test?
I am going to see an endocrinologist soon who says to take med as usual, but I have read here advice to not take it until after blood draw. Please help me to know what's best.

T3
The question is, How do i know if i need a T3 with my
synthroid
? or should i just try to get back to the 75 now that my body is probably adjusted so much more to the meds from in the beginning.

Dr Lowes crtique of the four studies saying T4 is the only effective treatment
.,
Synthroid
) alone, I URGE you to print off the PDF version of the analysis report, and bring it to your physician. And if you have a doctor or endocrinologist who has dismissed T3 because of the recent research, then even MORE reason to make sure you share a copy of Dr.

Liothyronine - Also known as T3
But when I searched for "
Synthroid
" and either "stability" or "potency," I found two abstracts.[67][68] In one, the authors state, "Levothyroxine tablets, 50 microg, have been marketed for many decades but have had numerous recalls due to degradation and failure to meet potency.

Feeling fatigue/Metabolism slow
I am currenlty taking
Synthroid
112 mcg/100mcg alternating dosage each day. (started having heart palpitations when increased to 112 mcg daily so this is why I alternate dosage.)

Started NDT and increasing blood sugars
I have always taken t4-only drugs (first
synthroid
, then Eutirox, 88mcg) this past week when I switched to NDT (Thiroyd from Thailand). I am adjusting - as I don't feel that great - some dizziness and fatigue.

NatureThroid Confusion
I was diagnosed with Hypo and was on
Synthroid
75 for about 3 years. It was okay, I didn't feel amazing all the time, but it was livable, just some fatigue and normal ebbs and flows of hormones.

High B12 after going from Armour Throid to Synthroid.
Went to a new dr because of insurance and she put me back on
synthroid
.125. I told her my previous dose had been .112 and she said based on my weight I should be on .125. I had never heard of using your weight to determine dosage. Had blood work after 6 weeks and free t4 was 2.14 (range .82-1.77).

Can I go back to last fall?
Last October my dr upped my
Synthroid
from 25 mcg to 50 mcg...the result a nosedive into hyper symptoms which made me feel like I was going crazy. Anxiety, pins/needles in feet and hands, feeling of doom, joint pain, muscle tension, crying nonstop. I woke up on Nov 15th in someone else's body.

Seeking NDT recommendation and (online) pharmacy
I've been on .05 of
Synthroid
for about 5 years, just raised to .075 due to Hashimoto's. My eyesight, strange inflammation (in the skull, no less) and other issues are starting to effect my working life. I'd like to try to switchover.
