here are my labs FT4 1.31 ng/dl (.82- 1.77) T3 106 ng/dl ( 71-180) Ft3 3.2 PG/ML (2.0- 4.4) RT3 14.6 NG/DL (9.2- 24.1) Have been noticing cold feet..not sure why. when i try taking more T3 it makes me sweaty. this is on 112 mcg T4 and 10 T3 thank you!

Does anyone else get tired after taking cytomel? I take 10mcg along with 100 Levo first thing in the am..then I fall back asleep. Then 3or4 hours later i take another 10 and 90mins later I feel like a zombie. Maybe I need to go back to the NDT. Any thoughts? Thank you

I have been on the 100mcg of T4 and 15mcg of T3 for 4 weeks now. and honestly i have been all over the map with the testo.. the best i felt was at one time i was taking 20mg weekly. that was a few years ago. as far as confidence in my dr? she is open minded and we try different...

i take lunesta to sleep, trying to get off that though..and I take low dose testo (female dose) I take cortef 10, 7.5, 5, 2 thanks !

I hope this makes sense. I was taking Nature throid for quite a while and never could get Ft4 levels past 1. so i tried adding some levo to the ndt then i went straight over to synthetics, 100 levo + t3. oddly my labs seem to be the same, (ft4 1. on fasted at 1.22 7 hrs after meds)...

would love to get some feedback on these. thanks! thyroid labs with the 24 hour med fast (no thyroid meds for 24hours) TSH .01 FT4 1.0 ( .8- 1.8) FT3 2.7 ( 2.3- 4.2) this was on the 100 t4 plus 15 t3. 7 hours after thyroid meds. FT4 (DIRECT? ) 1.22 (.82-1.77) FT3...

I thought HC was supposed to be dosed 3 to 4x a day like the body cycles it? dr jefferies wrote a book called "safe uses of cortisol" when i first started HC i felt much better right away..and i was at a low dose.. now i am at 22.5 in divided doses..so many differnt schools of thought.

changed endos and changed meds she changed me from 3 grains to 2.5 grains plus 12.5 Mcg T4 labs from change are FT4 1.1 total T3 130(76-181) tsh . 01 FREE T3 282(210-440) still fell like crap-..worse than before.

how are you feeling wolverine with those leves? and how feeling since the change? tomorrow i am meeting with a new endo, we'll see how it goes. thanks for your reply

I have been experimenting with NDT for a couple years and slowly increasing.. i never get good Ft4 levels though, they are always very low- the FT3 seem to be ok..some dr's feel this is good, i dont really know what to believe- according to some places that means i am "pooling" alhtough when i...

this is cool!

anything on Axiron? my endo suspects the enthanol in axiron enables better absorption?

just wondering how labs came out since the niacin? any luck?

does carnitine effect the absorption of thyroid meds? i believe i have read that carnitine can be used to help with "hyper" thyroid issues so to that regard i am thinking it may not be a good thing to take with thyroid meds? any one know for sure? thanks!
