I'm on 75mcg Euthyrox now for 3 yrs and I'm not doing well, my face(cheeks and temples), arms, legs, etc.. are swellings(infiltration with mucopolysaccharides ). My TSH and fT4 is good but my fT3 is low(but in the range).

I don't know what to do. I thought to try T3 or ndt.

I checked my ferritin, iron, b12 ... all are optimal/best. No have gluten intolerance, I gues the problem is D02 gene but I can not prove it because where I live this analysis is not available.

I'm willing to sart with ndt but i don't know how i take it. I'm afraid do not develop hyper-symptoms ...

What protocol, sorry if I disturb you. I'm new on this t3/ndt things and are welcomed any good advices. My GP told me, if i want to try T3/T4 (or ndt I would say, my doc. never heard about it) then i should take the same dose of T4 that I take now(75mcg levo) + some T3(maybe 10mcg). But it seems too much for me . Should not I decrease the T4 dose if i want to introduce the T3 ???

Thank you.

Thank you. I know, I'm not allergic to the fillers but I know T4 levo it works only 60- 75% for me.

Anyway, thank you. I'll go forward with investigations.....
