The truth is that I have not been feeling well lately. According to my last test results I had some room to increase. I did that, but I continue to feel bad. My body tells me I need more medicine because I start having muscle pain. I increased my dose but the pain does not go away, and it seems I am feeling worse overall. I increased a little bit more my T4 medicine an still feeling bad. I would like to see my doctor in one more month from now after the increase.
Taking 2.5 grains of NatureThroid + 28.125 mg Synthroid July 2014
TSH: 0.016 0.45-4.7
FT4: 1.65 0.78-2.19
FT3: 3.1 1.8- 4.6
Previous results: February 2014 taking 1.75 grains of NT + 75 mg Synthroid
TSH: 0.01 0,55 - 4,78
FT4: 1.89 0,89 - 1,76
FT3: 3.7 1.8- 4.6 ( back in December my results were 4.0 with same dose)
Note the change in ranges. Note also that between February and July 2014 I increased NT and FT3 results decreased.
I was trying now to increase my T3 intake so I went for 3 grains ( I had been in this dose for a long time before my old endocrinologist took me out completely from NT and I crashed)
I am now taking 3 grain of NT and trying to stay with 9.375 mg of Synthroid, to keep my FT4 right where it is, but I started to feel bad with muscle pain so I started to increased my Synthroid to 28.125 per day, but I have the feeling that would be too much considering NT has T4 in it. Do not know what to do.
Thanks for any input
