Re: Starting ldn for hashimotos thyroiditis

[Guest guest]

Colette-- I also have Hashi's, had adrenal fatigue but that has vastly

improved. Recommend the iodine protocol in addition to LDN, see the Iodine

mailing list on .

I'm so much better than I was.

Start low at 1.5 mg .do it at least 2 weeks ,if after 2

weeks you are stable and not hyper you can raise ldn.

If you feel hyper ,you can lower the thyroid hormone and not

ldn

Collette,

I also have Hashimoto's besides other autoimmune issues. I've been on LDN (take

at night between 9-11 DST) for about a year. So far I have had to reduce my

thyroid (I was taking 130mg Nature-Throid) once and am having my thyroid tested

again soon. It's good to get it tested every 3-4 mos when you're on LDN.

As you may know, normally when starting thyroid meds the long-term prognosis is

to stay on it forever and that eventually you will have to increase the mg.

you're taking. This is the first time I've been able to decrease my meds. I do

take other suppls to help the thyroid and energy levels. But I attribute the

decrease in meds to LDN. My energy levels have also increased.

I hope you have similar success.
