I'm on 3 grains and TSH is 4ish, I use Temp, if I'm 36.0 I need extra if I'm 36.7 I've had too much, but there are plenty of systems you can use, level of anxiety, tingles, exhausted at 3pm etc. Some NDT users dose until they get a slight tremor in their hands when they hold their arms straight out in front, he was going fine on 5 grains too apparently.

Take the prescribed T3 for a few weeks, do the blood test and then get back to the NDT program. Can you record and post your temps @ 10am and and 3pm for a week

T3 Mary,

Arrange a blood test when you've been taking 5 grains for 6-8 weeks.
