Adding Levo to my T3

[CarysP]

Hi. I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s for 9 years. Initially I was fine on synthetic Levo, but then it started making me feel ill. After a lot of experimenting I ended up self medicating with T3 alone. Now I am unwell again - all the symptoms. I have managed to source Thyroid S but it will take a month to arrive. In the meantime, should I try mixing some Levo in with a reduced T3 dose? I am currently on 100mmg of T3 a day. I also take a tincture from a medical herbalist and recently added CBD. Thank you.

Why do you want to mix Levothyroxine with a reduced dose of T3?

Thank you. I don’t have any recent blood results. My GP has basically washed her hands of me since I went onto T3. I am getting some done privately next week. I have been reading some studies saying that T4 has an active role in the body, as well as being a storage hormone. I have been feeling so ill recently, it was another avenue to try.

CarysP,

Post your results and ranges in a new question and members will advise including how much T4 to add to a reduced dose of T3 and where to obtain it.
