In treating a hypothyroid patient the mot important consideration is getting the
high enough to relieve signs/symptoms of hypothyroidism, without creating any signs/symptoms of hyperthyroidism.    Typically this will require FT4 at least mid-range, FT3 in the upper third of its range, and Reverse T3 at mid-range or lower.  In addition, hypothyroidism is not just dependent on the levels of thyroid hormone but also the response to thyroid hormone at the cellular level.  For that reason it is also important for cortisol to be normal,  and Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin to be optimal.  D should be at least 50 ng/mL, B12 in the upper end of its range, and ferritin should be at least 100.  So you need to get those tested and then supplement as needed to optimize.  

Before discussing how to get your med optimal, please clarify how much  T4 and T3 is in the 65f mg of NDT.

Also please post your latest set of test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report and tell us what your med dosage was at that time.

When you say you cannot get your levels balanced, what levels are you talking about?  What is your dosage of NDT med?  What, if any symptoms do you have?

Hi, thank you for responding. I’m trying to get my T3 T4 reverse T3 at the right levels. I’m on 81 mg of NDT, made at a pharmacy in DC. I also have additional 16.0 mg that I’ve added onto it to see if that helps. It has improved greatly, however my numbers appear to be off is if I am pulling but now that I’ve raised it it is better. My NP says he used to watch the numbers very closely  but he has found that it’s not just a matter of numbers but how the person feels. I am still struggling with weight loss, and fatigue. My nails in here has slightly improved and my mood is no longer up and down I’m stabilize there. I’m trying to figure out how to get my numbers at the optimal level. This NDT that I’m getting from the pharmacy is  One part T3 equals 4249 g T3 38 µg T4 for each green of 65 mg powder. That’s what I’m on right now. I will be getting new labs in the next few weeks and will be able to share more information then.
