[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2180965, member: 345386"] Ickihun - To be clear, I'm not saying you or anyone else should self medicate with Levothyroxine or anything else. I am now taking Liothyronine as well as Levothyroxine to support my wonky thyroid. For the Liothyronine, for my dosing to feel comfortable, I dose three times a day, with one dose being a quarter tablet. I had to get my head around all that pill cutter nonsense. I'm still in the bedding in period, so not quite in a sweet spot yet. I just hope I can find a sweet spot! If you have other conditions in play, which you obviously have, then it makes sense any adjustments should be done in a controlled way, by monitoring the relevant hormones and nutritional elements. Thyroid meds are extremely powerful, and a key-critical element of our whole metabolic health. For me, that would be TSH, FT4, FT3, thyroid anti-bodies - particularly if you have auto-immune thyroid disease. Vitamins, D, B12, Ferritin, Folate, and CRP for inflammation levels. If your vitamins and iron are down a bit, it can impact on thyroid function. [/QUOTE]
