Hello everyone,
I have started taking Tyromax (Idealabs NDT) a couple days ago. I currently take one drop (this purportedly equates to 1/7 grain) a day around 6 PM. I have already seen some results: I sleep a little better, I don't have to urinate every hour and when I do it no longer foams, I seem to have a bit more energy, my upper airways are less congested.
However, it has also brought an uncomfortable side effect. Starting at 1-2 PM, I get this stressful, adrenaline (I think) reaction. My extremities become very cold, a feeling of terror and impending doom overtakes me, my body becomes "shaky" and twitchy, and I can't focus or consistently engage in any activity. This starts to let off after another dose of thyroid and I'm okay by about 7 PM.
Should I stop taking it? Is it the increased adrenaline sensitivity that Danny Roddy has talked about and will it pass? Does it mean NDT's T4:T3 ratio is wrong for me?
Or maybe I have some deficiency? I drink 2-4 litres of milk a day, I eat liver weekly and eggs couple times a week, I also supplement magnesium. Should I get a Vitamin D blood test (I haven't supplemented it this winter and I spend most of the time inside)? Currently I'm eating a low fat, high sugar diet, maybe I need more starch and/or saturated fat to support a higher metabolic rate?
My wife thinks I'm simply "running out" of thyroid hormones before a next dose, but it doesn't seem right: T3 has a half-life much shorter than 19 hours, T4's is far longer.
Thanks for any ideas and suggestions, I really appreciate it. I would hate to see the first thing that seems to actually do something to be proven harmful to my health.
