Experiences with

Activated charcoal

She said I am fine and that she’s not increasing my medication. I fucking hate doctors and I am literally spinning and my

Hi all Since my last post, I had felt overcooked on T3. Endo suggested reduction of T3 from 2.5mcg along with T4 87.5mcg levo in the morning and 2.5mcg reduction in the afternoon. I decided to hold the T4 at 87.5mcg, and whilst the T3 reduction stopped the adrenals from throbbing and the hip from

Apologies - although my previous post gives an overview unfortunately my blood results are unreadable, so I felt eas[i]er to repost[/i] to try and simplify below… 08.04.2021 GP Levo (Accord) 75mcg TSH = 2.0 (0.27-4.2) = % through range 31.03% Free T4 = 15.4 (10-20) = % through range 54% Free T3 =

I've really enjoyed reading some of these posts written by people that deal with CMT and overcoming obstacles. You all are very courageous and I admire you all.
