What dose Levothyroxine/T3 or NDT are you currently taking?

Have you been 6-8 weeks minimum on same dose?

Obviously you have been upping your exercise level with your recent walking.

Results suggest you need dose increase in Levothyroxine

TSH is too high

FT4 and FT3 too low

Both FT4 and FT3 are only 15% through range

Useful calculator for working out % through range

No vitamin D, folate, B12 or ferritin test results

When were these last tested

What vitamin supplements do you currently take?

125 thyroxin and 3/4 t3, 3 weeks now and feel like death

before i was on 1/2 ndt 1/2 t3

3/4 t3

1/2 ndt 1/2 t3 didnt think it was doing much but i have noticed a massive decrease in health since making the swap and walking has stopped as no energy

back in may vit d was 50

b12 just over 1000

im waiting for hubby to get paid so i can get iron checked through medichecks

im on spatone, b12, vit b complex

i was thinking of going back on NDT but the tr man is no longer available and im not sure if ill tolerate thyroid s and cannot afford to put money in on the 'off chance'

Vitamin D is too low. Aiming to improve to at least 80nmol

Are you supplementing vitamin D?

Or magnesium?

[mandy72 in reply to SlowDragon]

vitamin D 3 times a week and magnesium oxide most nights

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to mandy72]

How much Vitamin D? How long have you been supplementing

Vitamin D mouth spray by Better You is good as avoids poor gut function of hypothyroidism

Vitamin D needs retesting

1.000 iu d3-k2 since may

See SeasideSusie many posts about vitamin D

With level of 50nmol is likely to need at least 2000iu per day to improve level

Not just 1000iu 3 times per week

Suggest you get vitamin D tested now
