Hi everyone

Sorry to butt in here, but I am interested in this topic as I have tried

naturethroid, cytomel and synthroid. I seemed to respond best to cytomel but it

raised my shbg and estrogen went down. I have now been off of all thyroid meds

for almost one month. I am trying to see if I can regain some of my own thyroid

function, then I might take a very small dose of cytomel at a level which will

not lower my tsh too much. I have no idea if this will work. My function is

coming back a little, but very very slowly, and I have been hypo for a month

now.

Has anyone done anything like this before? Also, I wanted to see what this

statement meant:

>>Total T3 can be increased, as can Reverse T3 with some BHRT regimens..another

good reason to measure Total T3 in addition to free T3 and Free T4..

>>

Why should we measure total T3? I didn't understand completely.

Thanks!
