NDT NOT WORKING FOR ME

[maymay28]

I've been on NDT for about a month and half, starting with 1grain, now up to 2grain and 10mcg time released T3. I was previously on 125mg of Synthroid and mainly got off that to see if not taking it would alleviate my insomnia(so far it has not). I was also hoping that being on NDT would bring up both my free T3 and free T4 levels and bring down my TSH. In June my TSH 2.6(.4-4.5) FreeT4 .8(.8-1.8) FreeT3 1.9(2.3-4.2). In August my TSH 3.6(.4-4.5) FreeT4.9(.8-1.8) FreeT3 2.3(2.3-4.2). While on NDT, I've developed rashes, have all over body inner tremors, shakiness, still not able to fall asleep for hours and now grinding teeth, stomach issues and blurry vision and I'm getting that "something is stuck in my throat" symptoms. I guess my body does not tolerate NDT. Also, since I've been on this, I've had a constant burning sensation in my back. I am going back on Synthroid but still taking the T3. I think that may work better for me as I feel horrible and have no energy. As for the insomnia, hopefully by the time I get my levels optimal, I will be able to get real sleep again. Unfortunately, all my medication(blood pressure, thyroid) have the side effect of insomnia. My Vitamin D3 IS 49(30-100), VITAMIN B12 883(200-1100), Folate Serum 8.3(>5.4ng/ml), Iron Total 48(45-160mcg/dl) and Ferritin 208(10-232). Any Advice Please....

NDT doesn't suit everyone. It didn't suit me. I was best on T3 only, because my body didn't like T4, even though I converted perfectly well. Who knows why! Could be something to do with your low vit D, though.
