Meme, you are very undermedicated.

Have you tried adding some Levothyroxine to NDT if you can't tolerate more NDT?

Ask GP to check ferritin and iron. Low iron/ferritin is often why people find it difficult to tolerate dose increases.

I was shocked at the results!

Seeing GP next week, will get iron etc taken after seeing him.

Added 25 levo today.

Thank you.

I do not take any other meds. Will requests vit tests as not been done for over a year.

I use stainless steel cookware with no coatings.

I am almost vegetarian now I eat fish once a week and meat very occasionally . And vegan meals a couple of times a week. Everything is home made. Almost dairy free apart from a tablespoon of yoghurt with my homemade musili and a little cheese sometimes. I am not gluten free.

Water has fluoride in it.

Not worked with chemicals or heavy metal in air.

I only take D and a multi vit.
