Thank you. My endo recommend me a multi vitamin but it contais soja in a very low amount, anybody can recommend me a good multivitamin?thanks again.
1 grain of Erfa is equivalent to about 60mcg of levo, so it's not a high dose. This is a link and cursor towards the bottom of the page to see the conversion chart:-
You can start on 1 grain I take my medication first thing in the morning with 1 glass of water. You can wait up to an hour before taking breakfast. You can then go about a normal life and I hope you feel much better. Don't be too long on a low dose and you can increase gradually by about 1/4 gr each time till you feel well. You shouldn't have the problems you have had with levo as NDT is synergistic with our bodies. It is not synthetic.
I hope you feel better soon.
