T3 with NDT?

[Miki80]

Morning

My T3 is finally here and I've been on 1 grain NDT a year- can't raise due to adrenal fatigue but now have low FT3.

Do I add this alongside NDT? How much do I start with?

Thanks

Miki80,

What is your FT3 level and range? If you can't raise NDT dose you may have trouble adding T3.

[Miki80]

FT3 4.3 (3.55-5.44)

I don't know what else to do, I have so many symptoms and literally feel I'm dying a slow painful death each day

The rule is generally, adrenals first, then thyroid. Taking t3 may well stress your adrenals even more.

What are you taking for adrenals?

Holy Basil and Relora

I'm not feeling any better I'd say symptoms have worsened since starting actually I'm so fed up and discouraged no Endo can/will help I'm doing this all alone and don't know what to do for the best

[greygoose in reply to Miki80]

So, you have high cortisol? In which case, you will have trouble with taking the T3. Why don't you post a new question asking others with high cortisol, how they manage, before you start taking any T3?

[galathea in reply to Miki80]

So, if you have adrenal fatigue is your cortisone low? Have you thought about taking feplacement cortisone? Have you done a saliva adrenal test?

What were the results?

No mines sky high, yes I did the 4 point saliva test. Currently taking holy basil and Relora to bring them down
