T3 v Natural desicated thyroid

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone I was taking thyroxine 100mcg for 20+ yrs due to partial

thyroidectomy for Hyper thyroid . i was exposed to pesticides and then my body

went toxic and could no longer tollerate thyroxine and have been taking T3 only

25mcgs split x 4 (50mgs ) i aso take Nutri adrenal extra , vit c , magnesium,

calcium . I have followed this protocol for 18 mnths now and i still dont feel

well ? I have since been diagnosed ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia . Is it worth me trying

Cortef and NDT would this help ? I am also awaiting by my request to see Endo To

check Pituatry gland as i have lactating breast ( even though total Hysterectomy

and son age 30 yrs ?) I am unable to function fully in a morrning and finding

it hard to get out of bed till mid-day , this is really getting me down .Any

suggestions ?

Hi Gillian,

I get those symptoms too despite hysterectomy years ago - also had this

happening before thyroid was removed with levels both hyper and hypo. Is your

TSH suppressed?

Would more T3 help, have you tried that?

Love Tess

Dear Gillian, have a look at the attached document and see

whether any of these associated conditions could be the root of your problem.

Once the problem has been identified and treated with supplements, it is only

then that the thyroid hormone replacement will start to work as it should.

You can do the three questionnaires in our FILES section, which

you can access from the Home page of this web site http://health.groups//group/thyroid treatment

and click on FILES in the Menu. Scroll down the list on the page that opens,

and open the one entitle4d 'MEDICAL QUIESTIONNAIRES' and answer

the questions there. These will tell you whether you are suffering with Adrenal

fatigue, systemic candidiasis or low magnesium levels. See how you score and

let us know.

Hi gillian, you probably can't conver the inactive T4 to the active T3- try to get TSH ,Ft4 and FT3 tested whoich would show if the is the case- thoug the hyper may have desensitised you to thyroid hormones- in which case you will always need high doses. This would also explain the galactea- see 'gail's thyroid tips' sorry don't have the URL ,but should come up on a search. > thyroid treatment > From: gillianbroughton@...> Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 12:23:52 +0000> Subject: T3 v Natural desicated thyroid> > Hi Everyone I was taking thyroxine 100mcg for 20+ yrs due to partial thyroidectomy for Hyper thyroid . i was exposed to pesticides and then my body went toxic and could no longer tollerate thyroxine and have been taking T3 only 25mcgs split x 4 (50mgs ) i aso take Nutri adrenal extra , vit c , magnesium, calcium .
