That is an inspiring story. Most good doctors i have met were
females, especially older females. Though 25 mcg T4 is a common starting
dose, i think starting witth 12.5 T4 dose can be quite safe.
It totally depends on condition of your thyroid function.
people often feel high adrenaline symptoms when they suddenly introduce thyroid hormone.
RP recommends slow introduction of thyroid hormone. T4 builds up over time, 2+ weeks depending
on metabolism. if you are not very hypo then 12.5 mcg T4 is not a bad idea.
I do not know about that claim that low dose thyroid causes hypothyroid symptoms.
That sounds like some internet rumor. I am curious to know if RP said something like that.
If liver does not convert T4 to T3 and T4 lowers TSH ,which increases release and
conversion of T4 to T3 ,then there is a possibility of lower thyroid function.
RP has also mentioned that you have to maintain good liver function for
this conversion. I believe you know all the regular things that improve
liver function, 80 grams of protein, B vitamins, selenium, carrot salad,
Niacinamide etc. Those back pain and joint pain can be sign of
low thyroid function, low alkaline minerals, high endotoxin etc.
Adjusting thyroid dose is really an art.
