Have slumped ! 😩

[Avidreader]

Felt amazing after 1 month on the gruelling strict auto immune regime by Dr Amy Myers - changed to Nature Thoid now on 2 months

So now into 3 rd month I feel flat ? 😩

I juts came back from Africa a week ago but took all my suggested vitamins & ate well - I’ve a cough head cold - but it ( doesn’t really come to anything - I think because I don’t eat dairy now ? ) so no one else would notice I’ve a cough or head cold ! If that makes sense ?

My eyes have gone back to looking “

Dull again “ they were looking so wide awake -

I read somewhere that the autoimmune can also “ Attack “

Nature throid making symptoms worse ?

I’ve just spent a fortune buying another two months of Nature throid as I was feeling so good for two months - though I think the diet made a huge difference? Anyone got any advice please ?

Avidreader,

Yes, I'd recommend you have a thyroid function test and FT3 to see whether you are optimally dosed on NatureThroid and perhaps include vitamins and minerals to see that they're optimal too.

When we take NDT, we usually start on an equivalent dose and then every two weeks increase by 1/4 until symptoms are relieved. Maybe this link will help:

It is three chapters by Dr Lowe from a book he published.

Thank you for this 👍

It would have been better if I'd given the link The links are archived as Dr Lowe died through an accident.

Oh dear - I see how much more “ work “ I need to put into this !!

The autoimmune diet has been such a lot of xtra cooking !

I have kept a diary - but don’t always fill it in -

Many thanks - I just thought with the Amy Myers regime , countless supplement & Nature Throid - it would be all ok ! & EASY !

We are all so different and that makes things a bit more awkward. It would be great if one 'size' fitted all but that's not the case. When we hit the right dose and symptoms disappear that's a wonderful day.

I have had those wonderful days since September 2017 ( after 19 hideous years ) but don’t understand why it’s changed since December? Eg only 3 months of feeling FAB !
