Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Roni, that's exactly what I do. I keep my Cynomel in a little " Altoids " tin and dissolve my dose under my tongue every four hours or so. It doesn't need to be taken with food, so there's no hassle there, like I sometimes encounter with my hydrocortisone. Nor does it need to be taken on an empty stomach, and if taken sublingually, doesn't interfere with iron or other pills I may be taking at the time. I got the idea for the mint tin here on this group, from this post: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/message/34261 > > > > I am a physician that has not had success trying to lower RT3 levels, and I just discovered this group. FYI I was using sustained-release T3 twice or three times a day, and was adding T4 back in when patients became incredibly fatigued. Most patients could not remember to take the second dose of T3! > > > > So, before I suggest the protocol outlined by Nick, I would like to know: > > a) do you have any idea what percentage of patients actually feel better after overcoming RT3 resistance? > > Nick implied that a T3 only regime is then for the long term...does that mean taking pills 5 times a day forever, if one cannot successfully switch back to natural thyroid, for eg.? > > If so, I find it hard to believe that many patients could or would want to do that, given that I could not get them to take T3 twice a day! > > > > Thank you for any assistance. > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > We are not medical professionals here, just patients sharing our experiences.
