Re: Dr. Lowe article on long term T3 treatment

[Guest guest]

Sol ' Thank you for posting thr T3 article. I've always had an unerlying

concern that maybe T3 might have contributed to the mess I'm in,even though I

had the most stable, productive two years of my life after starting T3. My

Family Practice dr.got pretty huffy when I gave her Dr. 's tape and said

it was off-the-wall. The alternative dr. I finally went to gave me T3.

Unfortunately, he uses only blood tests and eventually quadrupled the Armour

along with it after I'd had an unusually bad viral infection. Of course, I

wound up with hyperthyroidism and who knows what else..

Thank's Agaon,

Pat

Glad you liked it. I subscribed to Dr. Lowe's Thyroid Science newsletter

just recently, but think it is going to be interesting, this article is

from the latest edition. And I confess to wondering what would happen if

I never could go back to dessicated thyroid, so I found the article

reassuring.

What happened to you is why I sometimes think those of us who self treat

may be better off. At least I know my own symptoms, journal my meds,

temps, etc, and I don't have ANY trouble believing I really experience

my symptoms. I don't think most docs really believe or trust their

patients, I know I've had a lot of doctors whose disbelief in me was

obvious, but maybe the ones I thought believed me just hid their

skepticism better, LOL.
