am taking HC so from what i understand cortisol labs are not accurate? although late spring we did a 24hr cortisol urine and the Endo said it came back "high" that may mean i am taking too much HC. years ago before DHEA supplementation my DHEA levels and Preg were so low.. i have been...

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...

my temps are pretty stable i think.. i feel like crap though, only 11 more days before i do labs with the new protocol- tired of feeling like shit...my lungs have been dealing with what feels like a slight infection so exercise is on hold- and that makes me really grumpy! here are daily...

Has anyone tried this? i am wondering if it could be good of if it is just a hype. One of the Dr's I am seeing wants me to do the test, it costs $300 ..if it helped with thyroid and this immune and low energy stuff.. i would do it..but am skeptical...

still tracking temps, i messed up a couple days so trying to get the 5 day in a row thing going. I think i am going hypo again..just really reallly tired, feel like a wet burlap gag. with dropping the NDT by a grain and T3 by 5mcg, that is a 15mcg drop in T3.. while we added only 12mcg of...

great info! thanks guys!

does it get trickery to calculate when you are trying to lose fat yet gain muscle?

thank you Harry this is really good info to have..there are alot of ingredients in that stuff.. I wonder if those may be causing some of the chest squeezing sensations? it didnt start right away though but about 5 days into the medication. i had also not "decreased" my T3 like i was supposed...

HC the bottle says levothyroxine by Mylan- thanks

thanks Chris, I see my endo in another 5 weeks i guess and will have labs..i think tomorrow i am going to only take 1/2 of the 50 ..also i can space the NDT out a bit more not sure if that will matter. will try to keep track of the temps 3x a day for the next 4 days. appreciate the support!

HI i know adding the 50mg Levo was /is really low and i decreased NDT by 1 grain, and dropped T3 by 5mcg. the past couple days i have been noticing like a squeezing, pulling kinda tightness in the chest area- i check my BP and it is up a tad from normal.. I know i a really pretty...

thanks Nelson! i take a low dose of testo and it effects my HDL but helps so many other areas of my life.. will try out these ideas. for someone like myself that can't do intesne cardio workouts yet, Curcumin and laughter may be more effective- . i have tried just about everything else they...

i guess i have to ask, when someone increases their calorie intake with these MCTs and aren't able to workout like an "athlete" but do the best htey can, because of the calorie increase i am suspecting they still put on fat or unwanted weight ?

I would love to have her arms~! thanks Vince! i will try it after i run out of this quart of tropical traditions coconut oil i recently got. it is pure and hand processed!

recently i started coconut oil as it is "touted" for alot of great health benefits esp associated increasing fatiuge. I am working my way up to 3 Tablespoons a day. what i have noticed is i am hitting my fat macros much much quicker now, oddly they say coconut oil helps you to lose weight...

i have been pushing myself with caffene and small amounts of Nuvigl i can get a few days of exercise then my body crashes- am hoping have the FT4 level up a bit will help my body to be able to be more consistant. love to exercise and get frustrated that i can't do much~ i hope to be...

my endo have me some Levo to try.. we are going to taper down the NDT and add in the Levo, yes Harry that was a great link .. i want to check out her book too will be interesting to see how it goes. thanks guys!

i am going to check that out! thank you .. the sttm folks are telling my iron is too high that is why i am not absorbing, last year it was too low they said. glad to have a new reference for myself! thanks

sorry about the confusion, actually my Free T4 is pretty low even on 3.5grains of NDT.. i am only at .9 and i do have thyroid left. not sure why it wont go up ..maybe i am not absorbing it- at stop the thryoid madness they are really against T4 meds and more into NDT.. but i dont seem to be...

does anyone know if carnitine helps the T4 to get into the cells? i have looked back at my notes and notice when i was supplementing with carnitine that y Free t4 levels were a bit higher despite being on a lower dose of NDT. thanks guys!

i dont think i could tolerate 200mg of T4 .. i looked at my notes from last year and i couldnt tolerat 12.5 mg every day.. i had anxiety obcessiveness and blood pressure shot through the roof. so i took only 6mg everyother day and it did start to increase the T4. my first thryoid workup...

Here are my labs from 4. 2013 free T4 1.0 free T3 3.1, at that time i was taking only 2.75grains NDT, 5 T3 and we had added synthroid, i couldn't tolerate much it made me ansious and headaches and raised bp, so i had been taking only 6mg of it ever other day. i also had been very...

VC thank you. my body temps have been stable, although i dont have much energy, and latley been having alot of soft tissue injures, from even low impact things : ( .. i did go through rt and left shoulder surgery in the past year. but the free t4 has been low since i started on thyroid meds...

i have been experimenting with lower carb intake, since i am not super physically active now. I log my food everyday in my fitness pal and had my carbs set at 20%. How does one gauge how much carbs they need? I had one dr tell me to get down to 25grams a day of carbs.. i am not sure what he...
