Dear Rita, that is very helpful. Iw as just looking at my hair and skin

today, really in bad shape even though i'm up from .175 to .200. Have to pick up

cytpmel tomorrow at grocery store. it is 50mcg.

My body tem has been ka-pooey since surgery. I have to put heat at 79

degrees to feel adequately warm. I didn't know that was a sign of thyroid probs.

I

have a test in about 6 weeks, so we will see.

thank you all for your thoughts, this is an interesting discussion.

love,

ceep

Subject: Re: who takes cytomel?

I take both synthroid and cytomel I take 15 mcgs

cytomel and 250 mcgs of synthroid. I have been told it

is a very high dose for someone who has lost as much

wt as I have and I still have my thyroid. I have

done a bit of research concerning the rny and

hypothyroidism. Seems like folks with the rny have

continued symptoms of hypothyroidism even if the labs

are normal. THere has been cases where rnys need to

be dosed slightly hyperthyroid to get to feeling

normal. I started having issues like constantly cold

hands and feet, dry skin, brittle hair and nails,

tired all the time, wt gain (ACK!!) and it was shown

that even though the labs were coming in okay, my

symptoms rather than the labs needed to be treated. I

am working with my Endocrinologist on this but it

takes time since it takes about 3 months for the

effects of a dosage change to really start showing.

" my symptoms rather than the labs needed to be treated "

This is very interesting regarding the thyroid. My problem is depression

which had been successfully treated, but the meds are now not working as well.

My new shrink is adding a med called Provigil. It is used to treat Narcolepsy,

which is an illness that has people falling asleep in the middle of anything

they are doing. I had an afternoon appointment and he said I appear to be

very sleepy (I just called it depressed). It seems that this med aides the

antidepressant for people like me. So far, so good.

I guess they are starting to look and listen, huh.
