[QUOTE="librarising, post: 1576032, member: 41957"] From other posts of mine : "In 2013 I was diagnosed with clinical hypothyroidism. Much research followed. Eventually following a switch from theNHS's preferred Levothyroxine (T4) to self-funded Natural Dessicated Thyroid (a mixture of T4 and T3) I felt better and in control." "Dr Malcolm Kendrick (a Scot) on the inability of Levothyroxine to adequately treat low thyroid sufferers. [URL]https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2015/05/01/treating-thyroid-patients-like-children/[/URL] I no longer take my GPs T4 prescription, but prefer to source my own Natural Dessicated Thyroid, which is largely T4 but includes some T3. With thyroid there is no 'one size fits all' treatment." Some people do OK on T4 but for others it doesn't really work. My dosage also totally suppresses my TSH something which alarms most GPs, but also something which other thyroid sufferers know is necessary. I take 4 tablets which equates to 160mgs of T4 and 36mgs T3. Many GPs treat to get TSH within 'normal' ranges while still leaving the sufferer with symptoms. I've spent hour after hour on thyroid forums or googling thyroid issues. Vitamin D ? Within a range of 80 - 125 mmol/L seems optimal. I take 5000 i.u. daily (125 mcgs). A year's supply cost me around £10. Below 80 mmol/L can seem to affect the following : blood pressure/cancer/heart disease/flu/T1D/T2D/metabolic syndrome/alzheimers. Would you describe any of your pain as arthritic ? I used to suffer from gout which I 'cured' using baking soda. I now take a dose every night before bed. Going lowcarb probably helped with my gout as well. Whilst I am not wheat-free I am aware that some benefit from going wheat-free - something to do with grains not being suitable for the gut and thereby causing a number of issues. Off to bed now.
