    So I'm new to my thyroid disorder all together. I found a doctor willing to prescribe Naturally desiccated thyroid medication and have gone to him for three months with new labs each month. My labs are sort of crazy so please let me write the months of labs and see what you think is going on and...

    I'm getting answers all over the place, so I'm a bit confused. I see a doctor tomorrow at 9am, so I didn't take my NDT med as usual this morning per STTM website. Is this correct? Should I wait 13 hours prior and take it this evening? Their reasoning is that the T3 in the medication will cause...

    My doctor will not increase T3 any higher because of my low TSH (big surprise). He has me at 15 mcg daily, although over the last two weeks I increased myself to 25 mcg and I feel that this is my optimal dose because of symptom relief. So, my giant bottle of T3 will run out before it's supposed...

    Is it tough to switch from Levothyroxine to Nature Thyroid? Yesterday was day one and I took a 1/4 grain of Nature Thyroid in lieu of my .125 mcg of Levothyroxine. I felt a little bit flushed during the day but maybe a tad more energized. But by nighttime, I had horrible insomnia, felt warm all...

    Hi All, Just a quick couple of questions. I had read somewhere that the TSH varies during the day, and can't find that reference. There were also suggestions there as to what time of day to get your blood work done. Does anyone have it? Also, I am on 150MG NDT, where I take 60MG first thing...
  7. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (Hashi's Disease) Forum
    Confirmed Hashimoto's in early April of this year. I just received my most recent lab results. I was switched from Levo to Nature-throid in August. My GP switched me from Levo due to uneven results. I was on 75 Levo and I am now taking 1 grain of Nature-throid. I'm not feeling normal yet. Am I...

  9. Thyroid Disease General Discussion Forum
    I started NatureThroid on 1/24/15 at 1/2 grain, after being on 25mcg Levothyroxine for 17 days. I have read that you should be upping NDT every 2-3 weeks until you get to your optimal level. My doctor wants to wait 4 weeks. I brought up the concern that waiting 4 weeks could cause my symptoms...

    My wife is on 30mcg or T3 along with 60mcg of NDT, she had a long period of struggling on T4 only, which wasted 6 years of her life without recovery. Now we are in a better place and her Endo does not have an issue keeping her on the above dose, however as soon as pregnancy is discussed he notes...
