Still Tweaking to find my Final Dose

[Guest guest]

After giving myself time to get my ferritin back in order (it's now 74), I ran

thyroid labs to see where I was at, and here are the results while taking 50mcg

of Cynomel:

01.05.10 TSH - 0.014 L (range 0.450 - 4.500)

01.05.10 T3, Free - 3.7 (range 2.3 - 4.2)

01.05.10 T4, Free - 0.17 L (range 0.02 - 1.77)

My T3 is the highest it's ever been (or at least since doctors started testing

it)...no wonder I feel so much better! But it's still below the top of the range

and my TSH and T4 have slightly risen since the last test (0.005 and 0.03

respectively, while on 62.5mcg). My temps are also not yet averaging 98.6, so do

you think I should raise a bit when I get my new shipment in? Even if it means

super-suppressing my TSH again?

My lingering symptoms are neck pain when on the computer and water

retention/weight gain. I'm also still dealing with acne and slightly irregular

cycles, but I think those are sex hormone related. I think that's it! Overall

I'm feeling great - like I finally have my life and health back! IT'S AMAZING!!!

This year is gonna ROCK!

Thanks for the congrats and advice, Val I never could've done this without

you!!! You are a literal LIFE SAVER!! I'll never be able to thank you enough.

This time last year I had no life. I had just quit my job and was practically

bed ridden. NOW the world is full of possibilities and I'm ready for whatever

comes my way I'll never take my health for granted again!

I wrote up a success story a few weeks ago and told Nick he could use it, but

I'll work on a more " official " one and post it soon

No problem, Terri! I'll write more details soon But from the start of

diagnosis/treatment until now took about 14 months. I didn't switch to T3-only

until August 13th of last year though. If I had done that from the beginning, I

would've saved a LOT of time!

help to hear you and others share your stories when so many of us are at the

beginning of our " road to health " journey. Just think what another few months

will do as you get your FT3 even higher. How long did it take you to get to this

point?
