Where to start?

If you have low iron b12 folate and d.

And maybe more.

Thyroidissues makes the vitamins low. And when the vitamin is low the thyroid wont work and you wont get full effect of your ndt.

And also. If you have tired adrenals, do you have to "fix" this before you start ndt?

T2017 You need to post the levels of vitamins and minerals, with reference ranges, and members can suggest what dose of supplements would be needed.

Dr Peatfield suggests addressing adrenals before starting thyroid hormone.

I think I can get the numbers but the doctor said the levels where on the lower end.

What happens if you start with ndt without checking your adrenals?

"What happens if you start with ndt without checking your adrenals?"

I don't know is, Dr P started me on adrenal support prior to NDT, but that was many years ago.

Is it something you can buy on your own?

Is what something you can buy on your own? Adrenal support? NDT? Vitamin and mineral supplements?

Adrenal support.:-) thanks for writing. Its a jungle in the search for better health when you dont have a good doctor thats willing to help.

What test did you take to find out you had tired adrenals?

Always obtain copies of your results - they are legally yours. It makes posting here easier as people are able to make suggestions. Do not always trust your Doc - take control ☺☺
