I'm at the end of my tether. Been on levothyroxine for over 4 years ago and don't feel any better at all. If anything, I actually think I'm more tired and feel achey and have brain fog most of the time. I also really struggle to lose weight. Please could someone pm me where I can get the natural stuff from please and give me an idea of the cost. Many thanks

Tiredchick, before you even contemplate changing your thyroid hormone replacement, you should get complete labs done :

TSH

FT4

FT3

TPOab

TgAB

vit D

vit B12

folate

ferritin.

It could just be that your doctor is just dosing by the TSH and your dose is too low. Doctors are notorious for keeping their patients sick, due to ignorance. Or, it could be that you can't convert very well due to Hashi's, or nutritional deficiencies, in which case, NDT wouldn't help you much, either. You need to know your exact thyroid status before doing anything. :)
