Full blood panel fasting would prob include cholesterol levels, which can increase with thyroid issues. You should have also had liver function tests done and testosterone.

Re iodine and hashi's. Selenium is absolutely imperative to take with iodine and this is why people who only supplement with iodine get into trouble when they have hashi's.

Here are some links re iodine and selenium.

Judy your supplement has both, but not at any great amount. If you are suffering from Hashi's, you need to start dosing selenium at about 200mcg a day+. Some people go a lot higher. It reduces antibodies, lowers estrogens, converts T4 to T3.

As for your thyrogold, you start taking it at a single dose. I don't know if you ordered the 150 or 300.
The best time to take it is last thing at night on an empty stomach. It converts to a higher amount of T3 overnight (it has T1, T2, T3, T4 and calcitonin in it) which is what you need to enter the cells.

Some people take it in the morning but your body naturally makes your T3 in the early hours of the morning, so taking it at night mimics the body's own patterns.

Doing it this way will mean you can eat and drink normally in the morning. Whilst some people say you can eat with thyrogold, ideally you should take it on an empty stomach for best effect.

You start with one tablet. You need to stay on that one dose for a couple of weeks.
If your adrenals are bad, then you will find out at this point. People who say NDT doesn't work for them usually have bad adrenal issues, low iron, etc.

After a couple of weeks feeling better on one dose, you'll find that your symptoms start to come back and this is where you raise your dose.
Split your dose... one at night (the largest part of your dose) and then take one in the afternoon, which stops your afternoon lull and once again mimics the body's own production of T3.
Continue this process... get your bloods tested regularly and see where your levels are at. You may find you take two at night and one during the day... whatever. You raise your dose slowly and carefully until all your symptoms are gone. Then you adjust slightly for seasonal changes... if you need to.

You need to order the saliva test so that you know what your adrenals are doing. If you don't do this, you might run into trouble with NDT.
You also need to know where your iron is... low iron, no conversion = pooling of T3 and rT3 issues.
