Re: Anyone add t4 in erfa: if so is that defeating the object.

[Guest guest]

Increase your dose of Erfa by half a grain (30mgs) and

after 2 to 3 weeks, if no adverse reaction, increase by another 30mgs and see

how that works.

Can anyone help. Does anyone take t4 along with there erfa. I am new to erfa

and feel a little hypo, I was on a large dose of thryoxine t4 and t3 and ive

dropped when starting erfa so they maybe why.

If anyone does take t4 with erfa, doesn't this defeat the object of taking

thyroid natural meds.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Sheila,

I then would be on 4 and half grains, I dont think my body can tolerate the high

t3. I have spoke to my doctors regarding the tests i had done and my iron levels

are a little low but nothing to worry about they said. They said they would

post the results to me.

Thanks

Your thyroid hormone replacement simply cannot work with low

iron levels. If your doctors are not worried about this, shame on them, but

they are not being taught the FACTS about thyroid absorption at medical school

level. You need to get the results with the reference range for your last blood

tests and post them here. With low iron, you need something like Ferrous

Fumerate 200mcgs daily, sometimes twice or three times daily if your iron level

is really low. You take high doses of vitamin C with iron and always take the

iron with food. Unless you sort your iron levels out, you will have problems

with any thyroid hormone replacement.

However, please remember that you must NEVER take any form of

iron or calcium anywhere near to thyroid hormone replacement. It must be taken

at least 4 hours apart.
