Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi,I hope someone will have some advice for me.I have secondary hypothyroidism and after 2 years of being fat and feeling rubbish on 150 thyroxine,I convinced my endo to trial T3. Then had 6 months on liothyronine,started feeling better.I dieted and lost weight,my body hair grew normally again,periods became regular and the terrible long term constipation improved almost completely. Last month,I had a cortisol day curve test and when i got there after taking my t3 they sprung a thyroid function test which they now say shows I'm way over medicated.(haven't managed to get figures yet)They had tried to get me to swap back to t4 before but now I have just recieved a letter saying I've got to go back on 150 t4. I wrote saying if it does the same jobI'll be over on that too so can't I just reduce t3 and then test again without taking tablet 2 hours before but not heard back. My gp's really kicked up a fuss about giving me t3 and I found out it's because it costs about £23 per month so don't think I'll get any help there. Has anyone got any ideas? thanks,Delainne.
