I've been taking 3 grains of dessicated thyroid for a 4 months. Before that I had been taking 2 grains for two years.
Although it has helped my temperature and pulse slightly and seems to make a little bit of difference with fatigue I don't see any improvement with sleep, cold extremities, frequent urination, etc.
My basal temp is typically 96.8 to 97.0 and my pulse is consistently 62 to 66.
I've tried increasing the dosage several times and it never seems to help and there have even been a few times where I noticed that I felt the need to urinate more and my hands and feet were colder.
I've tried just about every brand out there and am now using the TR Tman from pimpom.
I'm also eating peatish meaning that I'm eating more fruit and drinking juice, and cutting way back on PUFU foods.
I also do plenty of salt and I'm not afraid to use sugar.
I'm eating between 3,000 and 4,000 calories a day, sometimes a bit more.
Milk seems to give me congestion so I do it very little and I suspect coffee (even with sugar and food) is contributing to my frequent urination and maybe lending to the sleep issue.
I'd love to hear any input.
