[QUOTE="bluezebra5, post: 81148, member: 2803"] Hey guys, I posted a while back when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I've come a long way, but my energy levels are still not anywhere close to what they were. I'm now up to 125mcg of levothyroxine daily. At first it seemed like I was making T3 nicely, and that perhaps T4 monotherapy would be sufficient, but I'm much less optimistic now. Latest labs were as follows: TSH: .984 (.36-3.74) FT4: .82 (.76-1.46) FT3: 2.4 (2.18-3.98) Antibodies: I don't have the numbers handy, but my anti-TPO was higher than ever, and anti-thyroglobulin was slightly elevated out of range (which has never happened before). My TSH is finally sub-1, yet FT3 and FT4 are still pretty low. I've filled a new prescription for NDT (Naturethroid), written reluctantly I should add. 1. Is this the right move? 2. How do I make the switch? I've read wildly conflicting recommendations, though most seem to recommend a low starting does to give the long-lived levo time to go away. [/QUOTE]
