Re:LDN and hypoT and going downhill....

Mo-

It has been my experience that those taking Armour tend to have more thyroid problems on LDN.

You can't assume right away that it is your thyroid, there are other instances that can trigger the same type of symptoms...have you had any testing to be sure? Deficiencies in some vitamins and minerals can cause a similar reaction. If the bases for your illness is a complex pathogen infection, and you have not been on an effective protocol for it or them, then that could be what has triggered your symptoms.

You need a doctor to help you with this, not lay people. If it is your thyroid you need a test to show it, and by how much. If you are the type of low thyroid that has not been reflected in testing, since testing is not the greatest, you still need a doctor to carefully figure this out for you.

It is very unwise to take time to figure this out, especially from people who have the best intentions, but are not doctors.

Take care-

I had that happen to me and discovered it was my Armour Thyroid that was causing the problem. There is a Thyroid list that might be able to help you with your thyroid questions.

Hi - I have heard that hypoT people sometimes have to lower their thyroid meds nce they start LDN.I am concerned as I appear to be having the opposite experience in that I seem to be going v slowly downhill, becoming more and more hypothyroid in the last month or so. I started LDN in November and that is the only thing that I am doing that is different.In recent weeks i have been increasing and increasing my thyroid hormone and am on a very high dose now and getting nowhere fast. I feel like I need to increase even further...My pulse and temp is really low and my energy is non-existent and getting worse.Any hypoT patients out there who can relate to this?Many thanks.Mo
