[QUOTE="Brooksy Chuck, post: 11963, member: 44"] thanks VC - currently not going to go T4 only..no way that will work for me as originally i had low levels of FT3 and high RT3 that was quite a few years ago.. endo has just added T4 to try to get the FT4 up, since it wasn't going up on the NDT. i was/ am still on nature throid- maybe for some reason my body just couldn't process ti..as it seems after 2.5 years of increasing at 1/2 grain increments then getting up to 3.5 grains that i would have had a higher FT4 than .9 ? at this point i feel like going back to the 3.5 grains of NDT and 10mcg of T3, of course that will still leave me with a low ft4. or maybe switch to NP or armour to see if i get better absorption, not sure but having gone backward with the T3 doesn't feel good.. my body doesn't' want to move- although 2 weeks ago i was doing alot, maybe i put myself into a "cfs" crash? according to endo it takes at least 4 weeks for the levo to get into my system..so i have 11 more days of feeling like crap. hiding in the cave, trying not to be depressed.. basically with the changes we made the amount of T3 i was taking got dropped by 36.5 mcg [/QUOTE]
