Just left my appointment with the Endo...
She didn't seem to understand why I ate so many supplements (magnesium, zinc,
selenium
, iron, iodine, B12 and Vit D). Absolutely no T3 because there's no evidence that it is beneficial, on the contrary, I can get osteoporosis and heart failure (all the old crap).

Recently commenced Levothyroxine treatment but need advice re: weight management and bloods!
I have read alot over the past few days about getting adrenals checked and how zinc &
selenium
supplements can help thyroid function. I have purchased these supplements from the health food shop and I am taking them in the hope they can.

Latest BH Thyroid results - after 7 weeks on Levo
I am supplementing B12, B-complex, D, folate,
selenium
, magnesium etc but I expect it'll be awhile before they're all up to scratch. Edit: I'm not at all sure why this post is tagged 'pituitary problems'!

Hashimotos specialist?
He put me on Armour (and then laterly Erfa) as well suggesting I do an elimination diet (I am still GF and DF) as well as start taking various supplements (
selenium
, iron , probiotics). I also engaged in CBT and doing all these changes initially felt better but then my progress plateaued.

Do I need selenium if I'm taking NDT?
My question is; i was taking 400mg of
selenium
a day when I was taking Levo to help with the conversion. It turns out I can't convert T4 into T3, hence the doctor has put me on NDT, but I don't know if I should still be taking
selenium
still now I'm on NDT?

Lovely Endo again and T3 question
I take
Selenium
in the afternoon but can take that at night with my VitD and K2 to make sure I'm not taking vitamins near the T3 dose. Any thoughts really welcome :) Thanks

A month on Synthroid
Also do I need to supplement with
selenium
/iron/vit D regularly and what's the best time to take synthroid...I feel taking it just before bed helps me escape some side effects. Looking forward to some expert advice.

What are symptoms of a Hashi flare up?
I am gluten free and take
Selenium
plus other things. I have high cortisol at all 4 times - measured through the saliva test for which I'm taking PS and now Holy Basil Tulsi tea. Just wondering what others go through?

Is this as good as it can get?
I have been gluten free for over 2 months (and will continue with this as stomach issues have been more or less resolved with this) and I supplement with Vit D3,
Selenium
and B12 thanks to advice here.
