farie02,

Any combination of thyroid hormones can be medicated but it is important to only replace missing hormones.

Therefore it is essential to test before introducing new meds and then maybe taking temps, etc to assess any improvements.

For many, thyroid hormone replacement will only work with optimal iron, nutrients, cortisol and low thyroid antibodies.

Farie02,

NDT contains T4 and T3 which should overcome conversion issues. T3 can be added to NDT if there isn't enough T3 in NDT.
