Increase of NDT

[Print1972]

Hi. I've just had the results of my blood test. Tsh has increased to 9. Doctor has advised I increase NDT Thiroyd by ½ grain. I stated this 3 days ago, but feel tired & a but spaced out. Is this normal? Will it go away. Has anyone had this issue?

Maybe try increase by just a quarter for two weeks then up the other quarter. I cannot increase or decrease by more than 1/4 at a time or feel worse,

Which NDT do you take? Many of us taking Nature Throid have found it not to work any more.

I take Thiroyd. It's works really well. My initial TSH was 228 (yes it really was). Levothyroxine made me have excruciating pain in my lower legs. Thiroyd has been great. I'm starting to feel ok again now, after the dose increase.

Glad to hear it. It is sometimes a long journey to find something that suits us, so pleased for you.
