Sorry I know I'm becoming a pain but now I've decided self treatment is my only option I just wondered if I could get a bit of advice.
I now know thanks to you guys where I can source various medications but I'm trying to decide which route to take.
At the moment my FT4 level is about as low as it can be without going out of range and my FT3 level is just below mid range.
I understand that the majority of meds contain both hormones but I've also read (if I've understood it correctly) that by taking the combination meds it tends to lower FT4 and increase FT3?
I'm just thinking if I start taking NDT or something similar is it likely to lower my FT4 more or will it increase because it's so low anyway.
The other option I'm looking at is just trying Levothyroxine as my antibodies are currently negative and I'm just wondering if I need a boost in my T4 levels. I've been on antidepressants for years and I've also been reading how that can damage/contribute to thyroid conditions!!
Sorry for all the questions just trying to get my head round it all!
thanks
