Surely not over all of them? I went to see the

head teaching prof at a certain hospital and although he was a BTA rep he was

head of endocrinology. Right ***hole he was too, bedside manner of psycopath!!

Is he not still in Leicester?

Hi ,

So, how is ok for your T3 result to be out of range (under) but not ok for the

TSH to be out of range?

Is this endo a thinking human or is he an automaton?

I'd be sending him info that tells how dangerous low T3 is and I'd ask him to

provide you with evidence that low TSH causes problems. When he can provide

properly referenced evidence, then perhaps his opinion will be valid. I

would send him this info now so he has three months before your next

appointment to find some evidence.

Low T3 can cause heart problems..... have a look at Dr Starr's book

Hypothyroidism type II. It has before and after heart photos in it.

Hi , Seems that he was looking at your TSH ( why are they all so obesessed with it?) and not at your below range FT3. suggest that you write to him pointing this out and ask again for a dose increase- listing all you hypo symptoms and pointing out the very low FT3. If he won't then he leaves you with no option that to self treat- after all if it doesn't suit you can always reduce again. thyroid treatment From: juliamoonrock@...Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 11:11:39 +0000Subject: T3

Hi all, especially T3 -ers,

I saw my endo last Friday and he says that he is happy for me to stay on T3 only as I feel a lot better on it. Problem is, I told him that after being on just 25 micrograms a day for a month, I now felt ready to make an increase. But he didn't want to raise my dose..... he said that looking at my TSH levels he didn't "want to do anything potentially harmful". He said my T3 levels are not indicative as they can wildly fluctuate between dosing (correct) and that if I was feeling much better, then that was a good thing and that he'd reassess in three months.

I hear what he's saying but really, I AM ready for an increase.... I'm feeling really quite hypo again.

My tests results are:

TSH 0.13 (.3 - 3.94)

T4 5.7 (12.3 - 20.2)

T3 3.2 (3.7 - 6.7)

Not sure what to do. I've also put on yet another 6lbs, that's 10lbs since starting T3.. maddening.

Anyone got any ideas, I used to be on 120mg of ERFA, and was hypo with that too.Should I just buy some additional T3 and supplement ? I'd like to work well with my endo, he's a nice guy and I'm sure he is trying to help.

many thanks for any advice,

julia

[Guest guest]

You are DEFINITELY ready for an increase - your free T3 is

below the bottom of the reference range and it should be in the upper third of

the range. If this was me, I would buy some T3 and increase my dose by 10mcgs

daily, but split the dose evenly throughout the day and see how this makes you

feel. You may need to increase your T3 this way until you find the dose that

takes away all your symptoms. Then, when you next see your endocrinologist, go

in very confidently and tell him that because you were getting symptoms back

and started to gain weight again, you did the necessary research yourself and

decided to give yourself a trial of an increased dose, and that you were very

glad you did, because it worked. There is much evidence to show how dangerous

low T3 levels can be.

So, until they come, start to increase your dose using the tablets

you already have. You should not be left to suffer just because the doctor in

questions knows little about how to treat using T3.

The heart specialist could not believe I had angina at my age - not til he

looked at my family medical history, yes, he was happy to treat me and behaved

with the utmost respect. Endos seem to have the idea that they are in charge

and what they say goes, NOT!! I have yet to meet one who is sympathetic to the

patient and the patients' needs instead of just terrified of the BTA monster!!

[Guest guest]

25mgs of T3 is not very teensy if you are particularly

sensitive to some medications or you have heart problems. I would suggest you

start by adding just 12.5mcgs daily, split into two doses throughout the day.

If you have an adverse reaction such as getting hyperthyroid symptoms, then cut

back by half that dose and increase slowly. Where does your ferritin level lie in

the reference range? Are you taking anything to boost your adrenals.

Many people do OK on mixing the different brands of T3, but

let's hope it will not be for long, and your endocrinologist recognises your

need for an increase and gives you more Liothyronine on the NHS.

Luv - Sheila

I don't like

going it alone really, as last time I tried T3 a few years ago I really got

in a mess and ended up on a heart monitor for a while. I do seem to be the

sensitive type when it comes to any meds. However, as I said I'm pretty hypo

and I've already got low bp as it is.... and the last few days I've been

feeling quite faint. So I will up my dose but I think that I'll do it by small

increments weekly..... hope y'all agree that that's ok given my

past. It seems that most people are on at least 40 mgs of T3 daily

and I know some of you are on way more than that. 25mgs seems teensy.

I will write to

my endo as suggested and say that the dose that he's put me on isn't enough.

Will it be ok to 'mix' the NHS T3 and the Cytomel, or go from one to the other

or can I expect probs ????

Just import some T3 from Mexico, it's cheap, and add it to your NHS

issue.

Don't tell them!

[Guest guest]

I

would try the experiment myself if I was walking in your shoes. Go to the FILES

section and click on the FOLDER 'Internet Pharmacies' and you can see the best

places to buy T3 without a prescription. Once you have found the dose that

really works for you, I would then write to the doctor concerned and tell him why

you decided to take this road and what dose you are now taking and just how

good you feel, and would he please continue to prescribe that particular dose

of T3 for you and monitor you.

Hi ,

Delivery times can vary - I have had to wait for over 3 weeks sometimes, but 'usually' products have arrived within 8 -10 working days.

I don't know about headaches on T3 alone - I am taking it in addition to NDT and have no problems - but that does not sound 'normal' to me. Perhaps Nick has an idea if and why that could be?

Best wishes,

Not had that, have you had electrolytes tested??

Nick

[Guest guest]

Hi

I had bad headaches on T3 alone ( I don't take very much)I found on lowering the

T4 down to 25mcg a day I had strange crashing noises in my head as well. Dr P

said mother nature knows best and I obviously need some T4. I now take 25mcg

morning and before I go to bed. Even the two tabs together can cause bone pain

and headaches so have to be carefull. I easily get over replaced on hardly any

thyroid meds.

Hope this helps.

most docs don't give the right doses and that's why the meds don't

do much. can you post how much Armour and Iodoral you were on? I

would recommend the right doses of armour and iodoral, rather than

T3.

oh how much is 4 drops of lugols?

[Guest guest]

I didn't do any good on just natural dessicated thyroid and iodine but have noticed big changes since swapping the NDT for T3.    I use cynomel which is similar to cytomel but apparently not quite as strong.   After I'd been on NDT and iodine for a while, with no changes, I tested for Reverse T3 and had a very high Reverse T3.     Apparently it blocks your T3 from working in the body and because it results from T4 converting to RT3 instead of T3, you need to take T3 only to clear it from your body. 

I'm no longer cold, my hair is doing well in that it's very soft and the colour is coming back (I lost it and it initially grew back white) , my body temperatures are nearly normal (they were extremely low), my skin is no longer dry.    I still have fatigue, but not as much.    My head is clearer.    I had a lot of upper back tension and muscle pain and it just disappeared when I cleared the RT3.    I still haven't lost the weight of put on when I became hypo.    However, I only cleared my RT3 just over a week ago and am hoping as my body gets used to more T3, the symptoms I still have will disappear.

There is a great group that deals with Reverse T3 problems and has lots of information about T3 only.   RT3_T3

Hello Gracia,

I bet you are correct about Docs not giving the right doses.

Don't remember the Armour dose. Was 3 years ago now. Sorry.

My Iodoral was the 12.5 mg Iodine/Iodide.

It says Lugol's in small print but is called Strong Iodine. 12.5 mg in each drop. 50 mg a day.

My doctor said that you really can't over dose on Iodine.

Hello ,

You are saying that you are on only Cynomel and Iodine right now and seeing improvement? Great! That's what I'm hoping to

see with me.

My temps have gone up from 64 to 78. Pulse 78. Was still very cold until I started the Iodine 2 weeks ago. Yeah!

The T3 that I'm taking is a compounded time release capsule 60 mcg taken twice a day. Plus my Iodine of 50 mg.

I will be getting blood work in 3 months for T3~Reverse T3~T4~TSH.

Thanks for the RT3 site. I'll check it out.

May I ask why your hair fell out and what color is it now?

I do T3 only and I think it's a very good solution for keeping the RT3 away. I don't know if I will stay like that for ever but it has made me feel good and given me a bit of a breather, because I had bad RT3 following a high dose of T4 prescribed by my doctor. Now I have cleared my RT3 I am going to give myself a thorough liver cleanse, gall bladder cleanse and see if I can go back to making my own T4. I had a look at my labs for the last 5 years a few months back and at no time was I ever out of range for T4 even when I had high Hashi antibodies before taking T3. My ABs are going down now. If I can get them both below alert level and keep it like that for a few months I might see if I can convert T4 to T3 myself.

When I first took some I tried 5 µg and felt fabulously better within about 30 minutes. It alleviated all my aches and pains, although they didn't go away completely, they were MUCH diminished. And mentally I felt better too. (Initially I was very pleased to feel this much better after 10 years of feeling rubbish, but after a while I started to feel very cross with my doctors for giving me a T4 only treatment.) I could also stay alert all day without the mid afternoon fight to stay awake. I had tonnes more energy.

There are probably other things that I have forgotten because I take this improvement for granted now after a year of taking it, but the change was overwhelmingly positive and FAST. MacGilchrist

Yes, only iodine and cynomel plus the companion nutrients and HC for my adrenals.I never saw much improvement on Natural Dessicated Thyroid and iodine but am now with cynomel instead of NDT.I was on 150mcg of cynomel until I cleared, now on 75mcg.    I've been on 100mg iodine for a while.

I lost most of my hair, including body hair, when I developed hashimoto's and hypothyroidism.    I'm not sure what my labs were at that time (apart from that TSH and T4 were within range) because it wasn't until April 2010 that I found out what to look for.    Until then I'd assumed my thyroid was fine because that's why the doctor had said.     My iron was within range, so I don't think it was that.    I had taken cod liver oil before the hair loss on three occasions and flax seed oil on one occasion so I feel like that had some unusual affect due to the problems with my thryoid.    My hair is now growing back well.    It first grew back white and then changed to black and then the black is turning back to my normal colour of brown.    I just have thinnish white patches of hair down the sides of my head, but since beginning cynomel in October 2010, they have slowly turning dark.     So I almost look like I have normal hair again.
