[QUOTE="WrenchHead80, post: 114884, member: 17451"] Thank you Chris for taking the time to write all this. Much appreciated. I did raise the selenium to 2x's a day (400mcg a day now). I will also raise the vitamin C to 2,000mg as you suggested. The iron supplements I will continue to take at current dose to see effects on next blood work. I understand my levels still being low aren't helping me here. To make sure I understand what your saying. For some reason my FT3 shot up fast and now my body is starting to say because of my FT3 getting up there, slow down with production (lower TSH now) , which will unfortunately slow down my T4 production too and keep it low? Hence why I need T4 added? Its NOT FT4 being used up faster because of demand to make FT3, from me staying on too low of a dose too long? Cause I felt better by the end of the first week starting till I felt I started to go backwards then raised it and felt even better but another week later started to feel like I was going backwards again but stayed on that dose for the last 3 weeks leading up to this blood test? From my reading, it sounded like a few people screw themselves up when taking NDT by not raising the dose as needed in a timely matter. I've read on a few forums I should have continued to raise it till I reached 2grains a day. I didn't push Defy to raise it past that since fearing low iron levels may mess me up worse with 2 grains then 1 grain. As for as NDT dosing goes, So I understand correctly stay on the current dose of NDT and add T4 or continue to raise NDT and also add T4 and retest 4-6 weeks later? Just to add I am a patient of Defy. So I am looking to see what they suggest. I'd like to have as much info as possible so I know the best choice is being made for me by them. Thanks again for taking the time in educating me and others. Fell free to answer the question here if you want. I'm curious to learn your take on it too. [/QUOTE]
