Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 ... Gray/Opinion area here.... What are your symptoms? If it were me.. and I felt like crap.. if I were here and looking at other peoples experiences and symptoms and were comparing mine with theirs.. if I knew I had thyroid disease in my family (as I do), and my labs looked like yours... I'd be looking for another doc... If I didn't have insurance.. Knowing what I know now about what happens to you over time (yeah, it takes years...but) when you are hypo.... I'd be getting a new doc that listens.. or I'd be self medicating if I had no access to a doc... We can get the meds ourselves. now.. we can order the labs ourselves now.. we can post our lab results in an open forum, like this, and have others that have gone through these same issues before us.. help us to understand, to give us courage and to help us explore available options. We can now gather information and with that information make decisions about controlling and improving our health.... You are the only one that can decide if the way that you feel is okay... and if it is, great... and if it is not... it is for you to decide in which direction and with what strength you go forward to find a way to feel better. We're here to help, where we can. To listen, when you need us... and to stand beside you if you need us to stand with you. I do self medicate with OTC. I have no insurance and finances are not sufficient to find a doc on my own... I found myself choosing between my health continuing to deteriorate and ending in death (I do not have a functioning thyroid), death is inevitable.... or choosing to find a way to treat myself... I chose to gamble... to self medicate. Might not be the right choice for everyone..but it is for me.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Feeling good is not to be doscounted! The only thing I worry about with T3 for life is a possibility of low calcitonin. That and cost was the ponly reasons I wen t back to Armour and I am not certain I ma sticking wiht it, or if RT3 will return, it is too soon yet to tell. Armour does contain calcitonin and this is a hormone produced by the thyroid that we need to kepe calcium in our bones. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
