Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 , we need to know how much synthetic T4 and T3 you are taking, plus how much natural thyroid extract. The synthetic thyroxine (T4) has a long half life and takes up to 6 weeks to be properly utilised in the cells, so you are expecting a lot in 13 days. You will need to titrate your dose until you find the one that makes you will, and this could take weeks, or months. You need to check that your ferritin, B12, D3, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc levels are all well within the normal reference range and that your adrenals are able to cope with the thyroid hormone replacement regime. Luv - Sheila I have started erfa and instead of goi g cold turkey on t4 and t3 I decided to drop my current dose and add so e erfa in. I have more energy but I look just awful it's day 13 is this normal . ,does anyone know how long it will take to look well. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
