Converting to T3 only-questions & scared of not feeling better

[Guest guest]

I am now on 1 grain of Armour and 25 mg Cytomel three times a day. Still

feeling really hypo...I also feel so weepy...I cry almost every night before I

go to sleep. I am so afraid I won't ever feel back to myself. Help!

> > Question re: RT3. I have no thyroid due to thyca and have been feeling

horrible the last few years. I have been on Armour but switching to

Naturethyroid. My last labs: TSH 0.01 (0.4-4.5), Free T4 1.1 (0.8-1.8), Free T3

392 (230-420), Reverse T3 41 (11-32) Ferritin 40 (10-232), Vit B12 316

(200-1100), Vit D 31 (30-100). I have been feeling so tired, irritable, don't

feel any emotion about anything, want to sleep all the time, terrible memory&

concentration, feel like I am walking around in a dream, depersonalization,

anxiety. Can all this be from the RT3 issue? I am going to soon be starting on

cytomel. Without a thyroid, what dose do I start on? I am currently on 3 grains

of Armour. I am also taking iron and Vit B& D. Going to do adrenal saliva

testing, also. Will I ever feel back to myself?

What I am saying is wiht the low iron your body cannot utilize T3

properly so it is more likely to cause bad symtpoms than help you right

now. You need to concentrate on building your iron levels FIRST
