> Hi just reading mail and in my case the endo wants my TSH at l or l.5. So he does not want the TSH to be even a five. Now on the LDN so not good for hashi's? No goiter, nothing just the blood work. Love Jan/ Phillipa
That's good. Just consistently test the way I mentioned , so you get as high a no. as possible, and more importantly..so you have a comparative result over time. TSH can vary a LOT during the day..in some people from 1 to 5 !(highest earliest in the day). It doesn't for me though.
It's good if your TSH can vary a lot in that it shows your pituitary (or at least that part) is healthy and working as it should!
I have only heard ldn is good for hashi, so far I only know one person on it for hashi, and she managed to double her TSH ( which was very low).
I also know other females on 75mcg per day T4, which they think is a tad low for them. I'm on approx. 90mcgT4 + approx. 1/2 g Armour(THYROID USP). I also can never quite work out the right level, but my last TSH test also was over 5:-)One of my cousins is on 75mcgT4 and she has fibromyalgia.. probably from too low a level, it's individual .. that's about the lowest correct dose for females I think, so probably a good place to start of from. http://tealady-health.blog.co.uk/2009/01/30/ldn-for-autoimmune-disease-5478952/
The ahsta forum is about autoimmune thyroid, but all kinds not just hashi. Elaine has written a book on ldn.Let me know how you go on ldn please?
There is a link to a lady on ldn with hashi in that post on one of the ahsta links.Keep me updated with how you go on ldn please?
Also where did you source it from?Good luck,
Jan
