Re: Not posted for a few months / HC

[Guest guest]

When I started HC I too felt worse for the first couple of days. It past away

after my body got used to the medication and a week later some improvment was

finally showing.

Also - my doc prescribed my with 2.5 HC which made me very sick. Only starting

on a high dose as recommended in the site did the trick and got me to feel

better for a stable period of time.

only, my private GP is coming round to the idea after 7 years of taking T3 and

only gaining some relief from the mental symptoms.
