I suffer from lethargy/fatigue but have never had a CFS/ME diagnosis
I have taken Armour and/or T3 for Hashimotos for past 15 years, but have been fatigued / brain fogged slowly increasing over past 5 years.
Doctors in the UK not able to help - they think I should have been happy taking Levothyroxine
I have used the internet and had private blood tests done to try and understand what is going on. I believe that Iron and adrenals are now in a good place. thyroid results show upper range FT3, lower range FT4 (on only 2 grains plus extra T3 so as expected). B12 was the next suspect (but no B12 test done - blame the fog!)
I have now for 10 days been taking Jarrow methyl 500 and I definitely notice the difference, Had anit-parietal antibodies 10 years ago, so I guess they have been doing their job and I am now struggling to produce instrinsic factor.
I believe that both B12 and Armour benefit from being taken first thing, sublingually and waiting about an hour before eating.
has anyone come across anything against using thyroid meds and B12 at the same time? Or have any other advice for me?
A vitamin D test will happen next week.
Thanks
