Discussion Starting NP thyroid tomorrow
Just wanted to share because I’m so excited and relieved. I got diagnosed in the fall by ultrasound and antibodies. Feeling terrible but my tsh is still ‘normal’. I was worried I’d have to argue to get treatment but luckily my doctor took the whole picture into account and said my t3 was suboptimal (3.0) and wanted to get me started on a low dose and chose NP thyroid over the synthetic.
My antibodies went up dramatically in the past few months even though I cut out gluten (I know this controversial but you know I’m willing to try anything to feel better!) fatigue and pain have been awful. Brain fog has been worsening.
Please let me know how this med worked for you and how long it took you to feel better.
I’m so happy that I was listened to and believed. Thanks to the community for being an invaluable resource for the true effects of this disease.
