I feel absolutely great AT LAST. Any thoughts on what I'm doing right? Or wrong? I'm worried that I won't know what to do if I go downhill again because I'm not quite sure what I did right!
I'm on a cocktail of:
NDT/Nature Throid 4 grains per day
Anti depressants 20mg per day
Lansaprazale for acid reflux 15mg per day
Vitamin D3 5000
Low dose HRT combination patches

TSH is very suppressed. FT4 is low in range which is typical when taking NDT or T4+T3. FT3 6.46 is high in range and it is probably this which is making you feel well.
rT3 is halfway through range which is fine.
Thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine treatment is for the low thyroid levels it causes. Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies.
Active B12 is high. If you are supplementing you can stop for a while or substantially reduce dose. If you are not supplementing high B12 can indicate serious underlying disease and you should see your GP.
Folate is low in range. You can raise folate by eating more leafy greens or by adding folic acid or methylfolate for a few months.
VitD 95 is good but you can continue supplementing to maintain level until April.
Ferritin, magnesium and corrected calcium are good.
CRP is an inflammation marker and yours is over range indicating inflammation or infection somewhere in the body. If you feel well just keep an eye on it by retesting in a few months.
SlowDragon I ran out of lansaprasole a couple of weeks ago and by day 3 without I was in agony, so I’ll have a look at low stomach acid treatment but staying on it for now.
Hi muirfoot, Glad you are feeling good. Try to wean off the acid reducer because your stomach lining has inflammation and while trying to overcome that it actually causes acid reflux. I think that deglycyrrhizied licorice is pretty effective. Later try to wean off the antidepressants. They actually interfere with thyroid hormone.
