I have a similar problem with no dr's ever helping me for years. I saw an Endo last week and she right away put me on T4t3 combo, I was taking OTC natural thyroid. She felt I needed a higher t3 to T4 ratio and so wants me to try the synthetic for 3 months to see if she can dial it in better. I am on a much lower dose than…

She really drilled into me how important it is to not eat or take any suppliments that have calcium within 4 hours of the thyroid med or it won't be absorbed properly. Just wanted to share that in case it's helpful!

The thing with Hashimotos is it doesn't just effect your thyroid, it makes you much more prone to inflammation. For many people removing the inflammation triggers in the diet helps a lot. No, you won't grow back your thyroid, but you will feel better and your body will work better.

Hashimotos is an autoimmune issue, so try and investigate things that trigger inflammation and cut those out. I do best on natural thyroid and paleo diet (I do still have dairy some, but shouldn't, it bothers me lol). I was dx in Sept, trying to get med figured out.

I don't eat any grain esp not wheat and really watch the sugar. I juice and make a mean green/dr oz juice. I have Hashimotos so for me inflammation is a real issue.
