Well, my friend definitely has hypothyroidism, and is going to begin taking medicine for it. This is why she hasn't grown at all so far from NBE.

I've read quite a few posts at this point, and we're getting a better idea as to what she may need to try to possibly achieve growth finally.

However, is there anyone else who is taking levothyroxine synthroid, 75 mcg? That's the exact pill and dose she's going to be getting on and would like to know if anyone else has used this medication with NBE.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T TAKE THAT EXACT KIND,
if you take any type of medication for hypothyroidism, please answer as well.

Do you take that specific brand? What have you done to get NBE success while on medication for hypothyroidism? What do you seem to respond to, and what do you respond negatively to? (tibetin, I've already read your long post to someone before, so you don't need to answer lol)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Doll! But I will respond anyway. And as you know, hypos can grow, its just a lot slower.

I grew without meds. but I knew what I needed at the time. This was the reason why I took my tests so extensively for nbe.
Did they find out the cause of her being hypo? Did she take an antibody test for hashis? Most docs miss this. Make sure she does not have hashimoto's as this is an entirely different approach for healing. I am barely in the second month of taking levo and cytomel.

If she doesn't have T3 (readily absorbable form of thyroid compound) She better have good functioning liver or else the levo will be useless. Many of us can't convert the t4 into t3 which is why docs commonly subscribe a combo of t4/t3. T4 being the more and t3 being the less. I am currently on 75 mcg of levo(t4) and am titrating up on cytomel (t3) till my hairloss resolves.

Hairloss is a common symptom of haulting your own t4 production from introducing the meds. One has to titrate up on the combo till it resolves and then you should have your current suitable dose (this of course always changes).
Also, if her cortisol is shot, she will most likely not benefit from thyroid meds at all until adrenals are healed, working properly.

Don't let her lose hope cause nothing has work for her yet. I was this way and left nbe thinking cause my thyroid and adrenals weren't operating like the average that growth was impossible. But its not.

I learned progesterone is more so a thyroid's buddy as estrogen is the enemy! So if she is already estro dominance, she def will most likely not grow.

If its just hypothyroidism, she can take a potassium iodide supplement (lugol's, iodoral tabs, kelp). Of course she should stay away from chlorine and flouride and she will easily fix this.
