Just a bit of a background:
I was put on T4 since I was 16 (I am 20 now) as my thyroid activity was deemed sub par by my doctor even though I never had symptoms. I started at 25mc. Over the last few years the dose went up to 100 mcg, which is what I take now.
My research on thyroid is what led me to Ray Peat and I have found out recently that T4 on its own can be detrimental. I can tell from my last test (3 months ago) that T4 is higher than the normal range which Im guessing goes back to the same issue.
NDT is hard to obtain were I live, but I believe I might be able to find T3 on its own and then combine it with T4.
It would be great if anyone can guide me towards the next step.
