Hi Everyone ...well after completely mucking up my first BH finger test...!! now with the help from seasidesusie, clutter, greygoose and many other fantastic admin staff and members this morning i managed to do it and filled both tubes ...took it at 07.00am no ndt for 24hrs fasting for 12 hrs just water and no vitamins/suppliments taken for a few days either. So i await my results to find out WHY? for 2 years i have been so poorly bedbound most of the time even spending xmas day in bed. As soon as i get them i will be in touch for all your experience and assistance in help to get myself back on the road to recovery. It seems strange that the minute i stop taking my naturethoid i feel better the nausea goes, my balance is back to normal i feel like me again ...then i start again on ndt and i am back in bed !!!what to do .....we will find out soon

Kindest regards and thank you

Well done and go to the top of the class as I don't think I'd be able to draw my blood. :)

Despite Nature Throid being hypoallergenic I don't know why you have nausea. Why don't you email RLC labs and ask - is the Nature Throid genuine for instance.

I do know we can suffer unpleasant symptoms from fillers/binders but that shouldn't happen with Nature Throid or Westhroid.

Have you tried taking an anti-histamine tablet one hour before Nature Throid? If you then didn't have nausea you would be sensitive to something in it and report to RLC labs.
