[QUOTE="WrenchHead80, post: 117875, member: 17451"] Read post #26 for what the PA at Defy said. I don't know what to think at this point as far as how my treatment is going. As you said the thyroid is a complicated thing. I know I ruined my iron levels by my own fault. I figured my main mission right now is to work on building those iron levels back up in the mean time. I am upset that I didn't try harder to get a answer about if I should have taken my thyroid pill before the labs, which I did. I asked here before getting those labs done but no one answered the question. From my own searching I did read Defy wants you to take your NDT before labs, so I did. Yet recently I see a new thread with members that know the thyroid saying you SHOULDN'T take it. Defy says I'm not pooling and my FT3 was high because I took the pill. Next time don't take it. So I wasted time getting inaccurate labs done and paying to have a follow up and protocol based on them? So does that mean if I didn't take the NDT my FT3 would have been more even with my FT4 and I could have had my NDT dose raised and be on a path of getting better sooner? Who knows. Now I have to wait 3 months on this dose to see what the labs show next time with me not taking it before hand. I'm not even sure if that's a good idea to stay on a low 1 grain a day dose protocol for that long. Everyone here and from my own reading tells me I would need a higher dose to fix my thyroid problems. I'm trying to convince myself that a half grain pill couldn't have raised my FT3 that high and I actually really do have a high FT3 problem. But reading now how I shouldn't have taken it before labs and Defy saying my FT3 WAS high because I took, I don't know what to think. I'm tempted to go back and get full labs done sooner to see what the difference will be with not taking it before hand, but the other part of me says I still need time to build up my iron to make whatever dose I take work the right way. Even though the PA doesn't think my iron is bad now. [/QUOTE]
