I currently take 75mcg thyroxine first thing along with half grain of NDT and then another half grain at midday. Changed from T4/T3 a couple of months ago.
My last bloods were good with T4 at 21 (range 12-22) and T3 at 5.8 (3.5-6.1), And for the week prior to the tests, I felt better than I had done in years. But since then I have started to feel bad again, in particular fatigue and dry eyes. I have to take calcium supplements because my calcium is below range, and I have low bone density. It’s tricky because I can only take the supplement with my evening meal due to T4/NDT timings. The same blood test showed my calcium levels are still low, I can’t and don’t want to increase my calcium supplement so I decided to start having yoghurt at breakfast. I am now wondering if this is why I am feeling so tired again. Can calcium in food form also impact T4 absorption? I don’t eat for an hour after taking my meds.
Thank you for any advice.
