Im taking levo 100mcg and t3, 15mcg. Had covid again, in November not sure if im fully recovered sleepy by 14.00hours.

Recommended protocol followed regarding medication prior to private [test. Any information greatly appreciated 🌸🌸🌸

I'd be inclined to increase T3 to 20mcg and after retesting in 8 weeks possibly look at an increase in T4

Hi Geeegee

At first glance it looks like under medication but have you previously felt ok on this regime? The reason I ask is I just looked back at your previous posts. You were taking omeprazole a PPI and milk of magnesia. Presumably because of naproxen side effects.

Are you aware of the low stomach acid/hypothyroidism connection. Many of us do have low stomach acid, but because it presents the same as high stomach acid it will be erroneously treated the same way but also if medication being prescribed has bad gastrointestinal side effects they will automatically prescribe in these cases too.

Problem with low stomach acid, whether it be a characteristic of hypothyroidism or drug induced (or both) is this reduces the stomach’s ability to absorb nutrients and thyroid medication. If we end up with nutritional deficiencies this will further impede the absorption and utilisation of thyroid hormones.

Is the naproxen still being used?

Have you checked your vitamins?

These red and green light indicators are meaningless Geegee. Can’t believe this 😱 vitamins - green 🙄. I do wish they wouldn't use this system. If you are scraping the bottom of the range it will still throw a ‘green’ yet some of the results might be lower in range indicating an absorption problem.

Are they not providing results with ranges?

[Charlie-Farley]

are you still on naproxen? Or some other kind of stomach acid reducer?

[Charlie-Farley]

And were you previously feeling ok on the regimen described - Levo 100mcg and t3, 15mcg?
