Re: Pretty new to list and dumped T4 and have questions

June 26, 2012

hi again william,

my apologies to you. i misunderstood your message. now i see that you are

looking for someone who has experience with taking NDT, and not comparison

dosage.

i'm sorry that i can't help you on that end yet. i'm still on synthetic

synthroid and cytomel. i hope you keep in touch and let us know your results.

i'm really glad to hear that your swelling of the thyroid gland is returning to

normal. mine still feels the same when i swallow. perhaps someday i'll ask

for a repeat ultrasound for comparison.

i wonder if anyone else here has experience with the gland becoming smaller from

the synthetic meds as well. lois

and I think that is what caused the thyroid to swell up. TPO is 3 times normal.

Major problems. Dumped the T4 and am now going up on the grains of natural

thyroid and wanted to ask those of you who have experienced this condition at

what level (number of grains) of natural thyroid and how long it took to get the

thyroid to return to normal (if it does)? Trying to get an appointment to

discuss this with the doctor but I am guessing he probably will not like what I

am doing. I am taking 5 grains now (3 in morning and 2 after lunch). As I

worked up, the thyroid is shrinking but it is still swollen. I am looking for

information and experience (hopefully first hand) to relate to and build a case

with the doctor. I would like to get this solved if it can be solved.
