[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 81235, member: 696"] And that's the thing, I don't know if "Pooling" is a problem with you or not (?), but the RT3 lab would help clarify that with an RT3/FT3 Ratio. IMO, if you switched to NDT, my starting point would be = at 1.25 grains, or call it approx. 75mg of NDT. Keep in mind, with Hashis, I've seen more reports than not that it takes some higher dosages to effectively combat or stabilize the autoimmune attacks, e.g., 3, 4, 5+ grains. Also, make sure you have selenium in the mix, especially if your diagnosis is TPO (?). To conclude, if it were me, I'd start at the 75mg as mentioned above (1.25 grain), taking 60mg in the AM, 15mg at lunch (2/3, and 1/3 split). Titrate up 1/2 grain per week thereafter. Before getting too far, I would know what my iron, ferritin, cortisol, electrolytes, D3 and of course RT3 looks like before ramping up. And of course, run all of it by your physician, one who will hopefully be in-tune with how to help you manage a protocol. [/QUOTE]
