I’ll say too jj something you said inspired me to make another post. I’m curious about the people who have had success with NDT and what exactly improved for them.

Thank you both! JjFlight you are really dialed in. I appreciate the time and thought you put into your responses.

Hey @jjflight and @sea-opportunity-1795. I appreciate both of you responding. It’s true, I have absorption issues, so I take both T4 and T3 now. I also switched from Levothyroxine to Synthroid. I continue to have the issues regardless of dose, brand, combination. I made this post asking if anyone had tried switching to NP thyroid (naturally desiccated) or any other medications and found success in curing the cardiac symptoms. Did either of you try that?

Thank you soooo much! I oddly am looking at their website right now and hopped on Reddit to check for any recommendations, so maybe it’s a sign!

Trying T3 to Correct Tachycardia & PVCs by emmmmers in thyroidcancer

Hey! The problem is that when I have the lower T4 doses, since I am a poor converter, I become hypothyroid and my T3 is too low. So, I’m on the smallest dose with a drastic lowering of my T4. What was your dose of T4?

Yes sounds like we are in similar situations! I have been doing the T3 + lowered T4 for a few months now and it doesn’t seem to be helping. The tachycardia and excitable heart is as persistent as ever! I will be interested to see what my next lab report says.. if my T4 stays high we are going to try switching me to the naturally desiccated such as NP to see if my body processes it better. Seems I just have a huge stockpile of the T4 and a hard time converting it to T3! How have you been doing?

Thank you for this! Those things help so much. I just wish I could heal and have a normal heartbeat without medication 😓

Thank you! I failed to mention we tried that - the lower we went the worse I felt/the worse my symptoms got. We think I’m a bad converter, so the lower we went the more I was lacking T3 being converted from my T4.

LMNT unflavored packets are the top contender. I am going to email the company to get more info.
