Re: cytomel HELP

[Guest guest]

have you graphed your temps to be certain you are on enoguh HC?

How abou your Ferritin? It may not have come up enough yet to tolerate

anythyroid. I would think SR T3 would be easier on your system, btu I

have also seen many times when it did not work either.

Well Val,

I'm on 30 mgs. of HC. I continue to take 200 mgs. ferrous gluconate daily and

last time checked my ferritin had come up to 40 from 23 (3 weeks prior). I'll

keep taking my iron but I am definitely VERY sensitive to thyroid, esp. cytomel.

I will see how I handle the timed release T3 and stay on my iron.

Thanks

You sure sound like me, - exactly. Even when my temps were steady, I

would almost lose my mind even on a smidgen of timed-release T3. I'm hoping

it's low ferritin or I'm doomed to a life of hypo, which is certainly better

than feeling hyper and wired. I hope your doctor visit will help you to get

optimal, and I'm going to keep working on ferritin level.

Best Wishes,

Pat

cytomel HELP

I've been trying to take just tidbits of the cytomel I ordered and I cut it up

so that I'm only taking about 4 or 5 mcgs. and still, I get all wired up with

that hyper feeling sort of like having a panic attack. Tuesday I go to Dr.

Blanchard for timed release T3. Is it going to make a big difference and not

cause this to happen when it's timed release. I sure hope so, otherwise, I'm in

big trouble trying to treat my hypoT.

Pat,

I guess you're saying that even on the timed release T3 you still had the same

problem, not just straight T3 (cytomel)

right?

Yes, , ever since the doctor- induced hyperthyroidism which evidently

adversely affected my adrenals, even Licorice does it to me. The timed-released

T3 perscribed in 2003 - 7,5 mg morning and 7.5 night, along with 60 mg. armour

is what finally gave me good physical and mental health. That changed when a

virus evidently threw my bloodwork off and my doctor kept upping my Armour. I

never dreamed it would throw me into such a nightmare. I'm feeling well enough

now on the Isocort and cream that I feel I'll be able to figure something out

with the help of everyone here. I hope you will be able to tolerate thr T3 if

you haven't tried it yet. Keep us posted.

As ever,

Pat
