Hi, I'm new here but wondered if anyone could help me work out what's going on. I am seeing an American Dr (Skype) via my nutritionist - not yet ventured to NHS as been put off as 'making it up' for too long - 'although your symptoms suggest underactive Thyroid' .. grrrr! Apologies for the rather long post! I was told in January that I had both Hashi's and Graves (I was diagnosed with Hashi's March 17). I was on 2 grain NDT until Nov 17 when they switched me to Levothyroxine 100 mcg for a month - then back to 2 grain NDT. I was put on Liothyronine 25 mcg twice daily for a month in March this year and felt better on that and managed to lose a couple of pounds too (impossible beforehand). I'm now back on 2 grain NDT and feeling foggy headed, exhausted and all the rest - not as bad as not having anything but not good. I am gluten free and try to eat as clean as possible and take adrenal, coq10, D3-k2, vit B12 supplements. Latest results are:
