I'm currently on 2 grains of Thai Thiroyd which I've slowly worked up to (from 100mcg of levothyroxine). My hair has stopped falling out which is great, however I have a fairly fast heart rate at 90bpm resting, but still have hypo symptoms, such as feeling chilly, itchy inner ears, bloating, and a seriously dry mouth. I'm aware that hypothyroidism usually causes a slow heart rate, so whats going on??? I have been on 2 grains for 7 days now, taking 1 at 11pm and 1 at 6am. I'm trying to hold at 2 grains for another 4 weeks until I get private blood tests as per STTM advice.
The levothyroxine I was taking made me feel well but ironically hair loss was the main reason for switching to NDT.
I am taking iron supplements and thyroid support supplement (not containing thyroid tissue) late afternoon.
Surely 2 grains is enough compared with 100mcg of levothyroxine?
Could it be that NDT just isn't for me?
Any advice would be really appreciated!!!
