your stories? request from a newbie

[Guest guest]

I want to hear people's personal experiences as to how they feel and how long it

took for them to feel better once on T3 and off T4, how do you break up your

dose of Cytomel, how much Cytomel are you taking, or are you taking SR T3? What

works for you, in other words?

I have panhypopituitarism so have had to replace 7 or 8 hormones every day for

years (full thyroid, adrenal, growth hormone, ovarian). Was on thyroid meds

containing T4 for years; that bit only went to total hell recently when I got

severe hypo symptoms for months, whilst on Levoxyl/Cytomel combination (100

mcg/5 mcg respectively). My rT3 tested @ 300 at the end of April; for several

weeks I have been taking Cytomel only (now @ 25 mcg). I think T4 meds are quite

responsible for my NEVER feeling well on all my endocrine replacements (brain

fog, fatigue), although I have been working on getting them all " balanced " for

the full five years since my Dx.

Or maybe there is a place within this site that members have already related

their stories for reading, and someone can show me where? Thanks!
