Hi

I've edited the results to make them easier to read - they were all on one line

before and harder to make sense of.

Please I hope someone can help me understand why I feel so dreadful, doctor has

put me on 50mcg of Levo to be increased to 100mcg on the 6 day, Ive tried but

find the 100 a day is too much for me & I feel worse sweating, sooo tired low

blood pressure heartrate temperature 35.7, but sometimes racing heart, sit for

hours doing nothing, cant concentrate, taken me 3 weeks to complete this typing

properly. Agoraphobia really bad. Ive inquired by phone to farmacy and they said

I could get Armour or Erfra without presciption but not Naturethroid, what

difference have people found between them Ive read that Erfra is like the old

Armour? but Naturethroid is better suited to people with allergies. Looking

forward to hearing from someone, also severe flushing heat has anyone else had

this have to continually put on & take off clothes too hot or too cold. Thanks

Hi

I can have a look at your results but I am no expert by far. I hope someone

else will see your post and comment, too. I will leave out what I don't know,

rather than say 'i don't know' about this.

What has your doctor said about these results?

> Leucocitos 3,69 (4.50-12.00mil/mm3) - I believe these are white blood cells,

and look low, I don't know why. Have you asked your doctor what could lower

them or if it's something to be worried about?

> Antimicrosomiales Anti-bodies 863.0 (inferior a 60) - was this a typo or was

it really 863? I think this corresponds to TPO antibodies - do you know if

that's correct?

> T3 Free 3.05pg/ml (1.71-3.71pg/ml)

> T3 Reverse plasma 0.10uG/L (0.10-0.35)

I understand that it's the ratio of T3 to Reverse T3 that is important:

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/rt3-ratio/ - can someone else double check

the calculation but it looks ok to me?

> Selenio plasma 176.50nmol/L (580.00-1820.00nmol/L) - this appears rather low,

do you supplement selenium?

> Cortisol AM 11.86uG/dL (2.86-17.30ug/dL) - cortisol levels look reasonable?

> Ferritina 22.2ng/ml (10.00-2800 ng/ml) - was 2800ng/ml the top of the limit,

or was it 280?

> Testersterona 0.47ng/ml (0.5-0.73ng/ml) - this is rather low again, how old

are you, are you on any meds?

Dehidroepiandosterona 6.9ng/ml(4.56-34.33) - this again is low, is this ref

range correct?

Folitropina 79.6UIL (26.72-133.41) - i believe this corresponds to FSH, but I

don't know how to interpret this in a woman, sorry.

> T4 Free0.75NG/DL (0.70-1.85ng/dl)

> Please I hope someone can help me understand why I feel so dreadful, doctor

has put me on 50mcg of Levo

How do you feel on the 50mcg a day? did you feel any better when you started on

it?

Have you tried anything except levo before? Have you tried NDT?

>to be increased to 100mcg on the 6 day, Ive tried but find the 100 a day is too

much for me & I feel worse sweating, sooo tired low blood pressure heartrate

temperature 35.7, but sometimes racing heart, sit for hours doing nothing, cant

concentrate, taken me 3 weeks to complete this typing properly. Agoraphobia

really bad.

Do you get these symptoms without levo, or just when increasing to 100mcg?

>Ive inquired by phone to farmacy and they said I could get Armour or Erfra

without presciption but not Naturethroid, what difference have people found

between them Ive read that Erfra is like the old Armour?

Yes, people report they don't do well on new Armour but do do well on Erfa.

>but Naturethroid is better suited to people with allergies

I think it depends what you're allergic to: Erfa has less ingredients and less

additives:

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/armour-vs-other-brands/

Erfa: ¡öDried Thyroid ¡öMagnesium Stearate ¡öCornstarch ¡öTalc ¡öSugar

vs naturethroid

¡öColloidal Silicon Dioxide (from mined ore: natural desiccant to protect from

moisture and humidity)

¡öDicalcium Phosphate (from mined ore, holds tablet together)

¡öLactose Monohydrate (traceable amount as part of desiccated thyroid powder

USP)

¡öMagnesium Stearate (from a vegetable source like palm oil; lubricating agent

for tablet compress)

¡öMicrocrystalline Cellulose (synthetic fiber base to provide volume & bulk:

also binds thyroid hormones, sadly)

¡öCroscarmellose Sodium (aids in disintegration in stomach and sadly, even more

cellulose!)

¡öStearic Acid (from vegetable source¨Ctypically palm oil; holds ingredients

together)

¡öOpadry II 85F19316 Clear

¡öPorcine Thyroid Powder, U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP)

Thanks Spain.

Please can you check what your symptoms match against here? put 0 if you have

no symptoms, 4 if it matches completely, and 1-3 if it's somewhere in between.

This questionnaire may help give clues where your problems lie. Are you

working with a doctor? This questionnaire was pretty accurate for me, it

matched my blood results
