Re: Some more questions, Thyroid

Lou,

Is there any chance that Dr. Peatfied might prescribe sustained

release T3 based on the test he did that showed poor T4 to T3 conversion?

It would solve a lot of problems, but he cannot prescribe. The British

General Medical Council witch-hunted him 7 years ago and struck him off.

At the moment I'm looking at the rather bizarre, but feasible,

possibility that I am somehow having a bad reaction to the digestive

enzymes I started a week and a half ago. Maybe I'm allergic to

something in the tabs. It would be a first, but it won't hurt to stop

taking them and see what happens.
