I've had my thyroid s delivered & plan on starting it tomorrow.
I currently take B12, b complex & folate 1st thing just after my breakfast, omega 3 with my lunch and Vit d3 after my tea each evening.
I was going to follow the STTM pig method (pic attached) - is this the best way to take?Am I ok to take with my other vits or do I need to take separately?
Many thanks x
Jusliloldme,
NDT should be taken 2 hours away from most medication and supplements and 4 hours away from iron, calcium and vitD supplements and oestrogen.
How much Levothyroxine are you currently taking and what is your FT3 level?
Hi clutter
I'm not on Levo as the GP wouldn't prescribe & says my thyroid is 'tickety boo'!
My Ft3 was 5.4 (3.1-6.8) last time it was tested in July. GP would only test TSH in September unfortunately.
Jusliloldme,
FT4 is very good. What were FT4 and TSH?
FT4 was 16.22 (12-22)
TSH 4.66 (0.27-4.20)
Jusliloldme,
Your FT4 and FT3 are both very good. Just the TSH which is a bit high. I would start with half a grain which is equivalent to 32.5mcg Levothyroxine.
Thank you clutter, I know I'm not miles over the range but I've been feeling shocking. I'm hoping a small dose will do the trick.
Thanks for your help,
Jusliloldme,
You can increase dose after a couple of weeks but I'd be inclined to wait 4 weeks and then retest thyroid levels when you've been on 1 grain for 6 weeks. If you follow STTM's protocol you are likely to become very over medicated.
