I have no thyroid and I have been taking 3 grains of NT split up into 3 doses throughout the day. I feel ggod, but my labs came back to day saying FT3 was way too hig: FT3 6.4 FT4 1.71 TSH 0.01 I was on synthroid/cytomel before and lots of different dosages over the last 5 years but switched to desicrated after reading…

I'm new here and this may sound stupid but what is NSV???:blushing:

wow! congrats. I am exactly where you started. 148 and my goal is 125. I am 5'4". Did you just change your eating habits or did you do any specific exercise program too? And how long did it take you? you look amazing!

lovekea....I too have no thyroid, can I ask what dosage you were on of the synthetics and what dosage you now take of Armour? Thanks for your post!

Peasantsong: Yes, you are in the thick of it now, the worst time for me was the 8 months after thyroidectomy because my labs would look "normal" but I was gaining weight steadily no matter what I did. I also slept 16 hours a day, wore 5 pairs of socks and sweaters (and I live in Southern California!), got horrible dry skin…

floridagirl, can I ask what the medicine was that you gained all that weight on?? Was it a thyroid med?

peasantsong, 100 mcg does sound low from what I have heard around the many thyroid forums. I remember it took a long time, about 6 months for my labs to finally come back hypo after being "within range" at 2 months and 4 months post op and never changing a dose. At 6 months post op my dr. added 5 mcg cytomel to my 125…
