Not sure what to do next - T3 Only?

[Guest guest]

I posted about year ago with my results, since then I have added 15mg of Cortef

(not sure if this is enough been on this for over a year), and switched to

Nature-throid up to 6 Grains. Feel like I have more consistent symptoms on NT.

But I am still debilitated; I can even walk a 1/8 of a mile without going down

for the next few days, chronic pain, hair falling out, incontinence and more.

Now I am waiting for my lab work on RT3, Free T3 and T4, and Ferritin I thought

it would be in by now, and I have to talk to my Doctor on Tues. I need more

Cortef so I can't postpone it.

I think I should try straight T3, this is what I want to tell my doctor, but he

thought I should try some Progesterone as the next step. I really don't that is

my fix. My thyoid was removed in 1999.

Below are my labs from last year, I have to pay out of pocket so between having

a child, my income level and my body it has been slow going. Any thoughts??
