[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 147447, member: 15043"] I basically taught myself how to read thyroid labs. Stop the thyroid madness has a great Facebook group, and that helped me learn a lot in a short amount of time. Watching all of Dr. Westin Child’s videos on YouTube, about the thyroid, helped a lot too. I basically just told nurse Jill at defy that after looking at my labs, and going by my symptoms, that I would like to do a trial of thyroid medication. And she agreed. Basically why I learned is that it’s very important for total T3, and free T4, to both be at least mid range. I always just thought that as long as your free T3 was good, and RT3 was below 15, that you were good. So far I haven’t noticed any improvements, but I don’t expect to. Getting your thyroid dosage right the first time around, is like hitting the lottery. And I don’t have luck like that unfortunately. I just had labs done yesterday. So those will guide me on where I need to go in regards to my dosage. I’m currently on 2.5 grains of WP. Most people apparently need between 2 and 5 grains, when doing NDT only. So I’m assuming I either need to up my NDT dose, or if RT3 is high, I’ll need to drop my NDT dose down to around 1 grain or so, and start supplementing with T3. [/QUOTE]
