NDT (Thyroid-s) day 3......

[real_mission]

My NDT came the other day and I changed over immediately! Well, what a change. I think most of the positives I've been experiencing are due to just not taking T3. I did transition slowly, one the first day, two the second, and so on. Since they had that factory problem last year with T3, it seems to not be working well for me. I had intestinal irritation ,to the point where I could feel the inflammation in my lower bowel tract to the left of my abdomen, that's gone! My movements are greatly improved too (sorry girls )

Well three days in my weight is holding, I feel much,much more relaxed and happy. On T3 the highs and lows really do affect you without you realising. I felt like an icebreaker making its way through the North Pole most days, every day I was pushing forward knowing another hurdle wasn't far off, now Im kinda enjoying things, my mood (didn't know I had one till the change over - typical bloke ) has improved, for a long time I've just ploughed on, not enjoying things, I now have a little giggle to myself every now and then as its like meeting an old friend I've not seen for years,,,,me!

I feel less 'bloaty', my skin has changed to 'glowy' , less stress lines on my face and black rings have gone from under my eyes.

Im extolling the positives, but I know all the T3 hasn't left my system ,so I wont be sure how it pans out until next week, but I feel great.

Still have joint pain, awoke today a little late, but felt really,really refreshed.

Up until I took NDT, I'd tried everything. T4/T3, T4 only ,T3 only, T3 with T4 liquid (in case it was absorption problems). Recently I took T3 all at once, days one week, night the other still the same, no improvement and a feeling of fractiousness even though I wasn't high and sleeping long hours (with the usual 'cloth head' wake up) I was on 80mcg T3 last time, might be too low, but I'll never know as Im staying on NDT till I get any negatives.

I can see a future now, the worry of how I was going to get through the next 5 years after the last 2 had gone so badly, is just a bad dream now (hopefully)

Thanks everyone for all you input, replies to my posts and people who have posted discoveries years ago and I've gained an insight from it. It really has made a difference to me.!

It's great to hear that it's made such a difference so quickly. I'm really pleased for you.

I think its just being off the T3. T3 to begin with as a boon compared to T4, then over time 'things' began to happen. The joints (may be Calcium/Vit D deficiency, but Im treating this ), eyes, lethargy. So much so I've tried to find an alternative, and this looks like it.

I just feel 'nice' for once

What a wonderful post to read real_mission. I'm so glad that you are feeling so good. Keep us posted

I'm so encouraged by this. Like you I had a lot of up and down on t3, which is slightly improved by taking it all in one go in the morning, but while this relieves the roller coaster feeling, it just means I'm on a downward incline all day instead.

real_mission, may I ask if your antibodies are raised?

I'd love to try ndt but in my head it is 'my last hope' so I'm terrified it won't live up to my expectations.

Thank you reallyfedup123

Im so glad you all have shown me a another option to this. NDT looked like a far off concept. Now Im on it and things are getting better. I did awake thismorning a little tired, but really refreshed,so somethings going right.

I'll know more next week, but for now its looking good (TT has taught me to hedge my bets )

Congratulations, that's really good news. I know we're all different, but how much are you taking, what brand and when ?

[real_mission in reply to Aurealis]
