I will be putting my experience, thoughts on things, lab results, etc.
Any input will be appreciated.

You have some inflammation coming from somewhere, so do your best to identify where it's coming from and then address that. The inflammation is also likely what's elevating your thyroid antibody.Today's results.
These results are after month+ on 3x 0.5 grain with meals, THYROID-S brand, it's clear to me that thyroid with meals is a NO go, i knew this before because i had the same results with thyroxine. Just wanted to try THYROID-s with meals after stopping cypro and see if it works out.
Before, when i was trying to work out levo in the morning on empty stomach+some porcine ndt for t3 during the day, but i might have gone too quick with it and i quickly built up high rt3 again.
So two options i can think of now:
1. Start THYROID-S on an empty stomach 1-2 grains 1h before breakfast - with some simple carbs maybe.
2. Tyromix

Thanks for popping Hansius.You have some inflammation coming from somewhere, so do your best to identify where it's coming from and then address that. The inflammation is also likely what's elevating your thyroid antibody.
Also, your zinc is on the low side which might interfere with proper T4 to T3 conversion.
I feel better when I take some NDT which raises my ft3 to 5.5-6 pmol/L along with thyroxine in the morning than only thyroxine in the morning.Have you ever tried T4 mono therapy for a few months beforehand and did thyroid labs then?
Your free and total T4 are low, so it makes sense to focus on thyroxine first in my opinion. Then the body has the chance to increase T3 on it‘s own need. (of course supported by a good diet, avoiding nutrient deficiencies, keeping inflammation down, stress in check and so on)
That would take out a lot of guess work with adding in NDT or glandulars, where we don’t know how much is actually in it. I know some don’t achieve good thyroid results with just NDT and do better on synthetic thyroid hormone.
Alright. Symptoms are important diagnostics aswell!I feel better when I take some NDT which raises my ft3 to 5.5-6 pmol/L along with thyroxine in the morning than only thyroxine in the morning.
It's weird, taking either alone gives me bad symptoms very quickly, but taking two together feels somehow better.
I need to do all I can to convert it well with time.
The plan is to do the same test at the end of the month.
I think a bit of t3 helps t4 convert well, i can see some t4 only for healthy people just to boost metabolism a bit, but if you were chronically stressed I doubt t4 only is the solution, my mum feels bad only on t4 due to rt3, my sister in law feels tons better on the porcine glandular vs thyroxine only.I have heard pure T4 is better tolerated than T3 with low cortisol issues. I am currently experimenting with pure T4.
this is where glandular comes into play, slow release t3 :) but I know you are not a fan of glandular.I find T3 hard to dose in a physiologically stable manner without ups and down and in accordance with our cardian rhythm.
What have you been taking lately?I recently started getting indigestion again, like a while back from cyproheptadine.
indigestion went away when stopped stress quenching supplements very quickly, not sure of the mechanism, but cypro was causing indigestion due to its histamine lowering effect.
Some zinc in the morning and progesterone before bed, maybe for a week until i started seeing indigestion, low pulse and frequent urination( more than usually)What have you been taking lately?
do you know if you take thyroxine and you convert much of it into rt3, could it then show quite a low total T4 while taking a decent amount of thyroxine?What have you been taking lately?
I don’t think so. I know people that had high-ish reverse T3 and they all had normal or high T4.do you know if you take thyroxine and you convert much of it into rt3, could it then show quite a low total T4 while taking a decent amount of thyroxine?
