Introduction and looking for opinions

[Guest guest]

Hello. I'm currently part of the Natural Thyroid Hormones group. I'm currently

being treated for hypo but not real happy with the progress right now. The test

results below are from before I came off of synthroid.

Thyroid Function Tests

> TSH 0.19 uIU/mL Range 0.27-4.20

> Free T3 3.2 pg/mL Range 2.0-4.0

> Free T4 1.44 ng/dL Range 0.80-1.80

> Rev T3 324 pg/mL Range 90-350

TPO Auto Abs 192.0 IU/mL Range 0.0-35.0

%Recovery 29 % Range 70-130

hsCRP 3.30 mg/L

Thyroglobulin < 0.20 ng/mL Range 0.0-55.0

Thyroglob Ab 1454.0 IU/mL Range 0.0-40.0

Since then I have been seen the doctor. I'm now on sustained release compound

T3. Started at 7.5 mg twice a day and currently at 30 mg twice a day. Also on

iodine drops (4 a day) for hypothyroidism. I'm also being treated for adrenal

fatigue with buffered vitamin C (1000 mg 2xday) and hydrocortisone (10mg

morning, 10mg,afternoon, 5 mg evening). Being treated for Vitamin D deficiency

with D3 (5000 IU per day). Vitamin B12 deficiency (Sublingual B12 1 mg). Low

magnesium (Magnesium citrate (400 mg). Low testosterone (compound cream) He also

suggested CoQ10, so I'm taking 100 mg per day.

My frustration at this point is that I feel no different now 2 months later than

I did before taking just synthroid. It's difficult to tell with my basal temp

since I wasn't using a good thermometer to begin with. The last couple days

basal has been about 97F. Oral temp typically runs around there as well.

I just feel like I'm throwing all this stuff out there and none of it is doing

any good. Even if I did start feeling better, how would I even know what worked?

I feel like I should back off everything except the compound T3. Try and get

that to where it looks right and see if I feel better. I don't have an issue

continuing the D3 since my levels were really low. I also have not had any new

testing done since I started all this. The doctor is going strictly by how I

feel right now.

What do you think?
