RE: how do you know if its just T3 you need?

[Guest guest]

I had loads of hypothyroid symptoms and however high the thyroxine dose they wouldn't go, so I had a private blood test done which showed my T3 was under range.     I went to a private doctor who did a 24 hour urine test where result also showed T3 under range.     Private doctor said it didn't look as if I was converting and prescribed T3.

If you have been taking synthetic thyroxine (levothyroxine) for

many months and your symptoms are not going, then you need a trial of synthetic

T3 (Liothyronine) in combination with your L-thyroxine. After titrating the

dose, if that is not taking away your symptoms, then try natural desiccated

porcine thyroid extract, because that has T4, T3, T2, T1 plus calcitonin in. If,

again after titrating your dose, you find this still doesn't work, then you may

want a trial of synthetic T4 (Liothyronine/Cytomel). However, please do this

under the supervision of a medical practitioner.

Where does all the Vitamin and Mineral testing come within this trialing period?

Within the NHS, absolutely nowhere, but thyroid research/trials

show that if iron, transferrin saturation%, ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D3,

magnesium, folate, copper and zinc show low in the reference ranges, then no

amount of thyroid hormone (not even your own) can be fully utilised at the

cellular level. See attached .

This is why it is important that all of these are tested if you

are suffering with symptoms of low thyroid

It's best to get as many of the tests done as possible before

you see Dr S as this will save both him and you time and you can then get on

with whatever is needed having the results in front of you. Besides wanting

such results for him, you need these results for yourself so if any of them are

not where they should be, you can get on with doing whatever is necessary to

put them right.

Sorry Sheila I meant, where in the starting out

to cure yourself does it come? Should you get all of these things done before

doing anything else (which makes sense to me) or should you do it at some stage

later on after you have seen Dr Skinner for instance? I expect it makes more

sense to be armed with them all before setting off because I assume that Dr

Skinner (or other good doctors) would want to know about these before they

proceed to alter any of your medications?
