Guest guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 If you are on too high a dose , you will start to feel the symptoms of hyPERthyroidism. You will probably start to get palpitations, feeling 'spaced out' rather agitated and hyperactive etc. When this happens, and it usually happens straight after an increase in your dose a couple of hours after starting it, then don't take any more that day, and the following day, go back onto the dose you were taking before that increase. This is usually the dose that your body needs. However, we always recommend checking up that you are not suffering with adrenal fatigue, have systemic candidiasis, are suffering with no ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper or zinc. Your GP should test the latter, and once you get the results, post them here on the forum together with the reference range and we will help with their interpretation. Do the questionnaires in the FOLDER 'Medical Questionnaires' in the FILES section that you can access from the Home Page of the forum web site.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 There are a LOT of GP's and endocrinologists (NHS) and private, who will recommend and/or prescribe natural thyroid extract. Your endocrinologist should get his head out of the sand and get up to date with what is actually happening out here. For over 50 years, natural thyroid extract was the ONLY medication given to ALL sufferers of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, long before synthetic levothyroxine was manufactured. There were NEVER the problems there are today for such sufferers.
