Re: from ceep, thyroid question

[Guest guest]

Hi!

So glad you have a doc smart enough to prescribe Cytomel for you! I had to

fight my endo doc to give it to me. I felt like ca~ca on just the synthroid

alone. I take it in the morning...by itself...an hour either way of all my

other stuff. I can only give it an hour since I have so much to take. I'm

bummed

because I have all the symptoms of hypothyroid....cold, falling hair....dry

skin...exhaustion...yet because my " tests " show me in the low normal

range...I'm okay to them. Well hey! What's wrong with this picture?

Take care CE

Love ya~

I'm in the same place that you are. Doc thinks I am just fine in

the lower range. Gee, when will they ever learn!!! I am

considering checking out a new doc. Sure hate to start over again.

Been with the same doc for to many years to count. Does a bang up

job in most cases. Just doesn't seem to grasp that " lower range "

doesn't do it for me!

I have the dry skin, ridged nails, cold & hot intolerance, tired,

etc... My temp range is somewhere around 75 to 90. Good thing

since Alabama gets really warm this time of the year! Drives my

workers insane, LOL! We fight over the AC all the time. I only get

warm when I get a chance to go to lunch and get into the oven (my

car) and sunshine!

I think that the low thyroid range is alot of why I can't lose

anymore wt. Do the right things and it still doesn't move down.

DRAT!!

So..these ridged nails are a symptom too? Oh wow! Could not for the life of

me figure out why I have these deep grooves in my nails...My labs are fine

other than the low normal thyroid! Yeah..when WILL they learn?

I was told never to take vit C within 2 hrs of synthroid.
