[QUOTE="WrenchHead80, post: 119031, member: 17451"] Is he with Defy? Is he very popular meaning its hard to get a appointment in a short time? Don't like the idea of "having to get your labs done and sent to them before you can make a appointment". DR Sayer was a 3 month wait to see when I asked. I don't want to be discussing old labs and I would be waiting a few months while I don't feel good either. On a different note, I had some time to look into the taking not taking of NDT before labs. You DO NOT want to take NDT before labs. Wish I knew this before I wasted my money on a follow up. I'm completely clueless as to why defy wants you to take your ndt before. On a few websites I have read taking a T3 or NDT (which has T3 in it) pill before labs will show spikes on your FT3 and a lower TSH number. T3 has a very short half life compared to T4. Some people show huge FT3 spikes depending on timing of labs. I take mine at 6am had the test done at 9pm. Ideal timing to have the highest FT3 reading possible from my reading on different sites. Taking only a T4 pill before labs you can. It will only slightly bump your T4 numbers up because it is released so much slower compared to T3. It's still recommend not too though. Based on this info and me being tired of feeling tired and feeling hot, I'm not going to wait 3 months to fix this error. I felt better off this stuff then I do on it right now. I'm going to make a appointment to get my thyroid labs done again some time this week. This time no NDT before and I'll schedule it for the same time as last. I'm hoping my hunch is correct and my results come back with the same numbers but a much lower FT3 which would show I need to raise my dose. Which I'll email to the PA at defy and explain I want to raise my dose. Figured TSH FT3 FT4 and RT3 will be sufficient. I also started taking my whole dose (1grain) first thing in the morning and not splitting it like I was. I started a few days ago to see if I would feel better. I did. It ended the ups and downs. Have more energy (still low though) during the day and become tired by early evening. Which I can live with for now. Instead of starting the day ok then slowly crashing by 2pm and coming back to life around 6-7pm to be fine to stay up all evening. I really dont care to be up past 10pm during the week. [/QUOTE]
