A Thyroid Mess
The first pill bottle was dated 2/28/2019 and was described as Liothyronine 5 mcg TAB with, in small print you could barely notice much less read: “Sub for
Cytomel
5 mcg tab (tablet).”

Low TSH .01... Cause of fatigue?!?!
TSH .01 Thus, T3/
cytomel
to be reduced from 20mcg to 15mcg to 10mcg.... ( 12/4...lab result =160 ...180 being top of range) T4 / Levothyroxine stays at 88mcg ( tested 130....) So... just wondering if ever lowering T3 when TSH .01/low can actually reduce fatigue?

Why take a statin drug?
BTW: I began taking
Cytomel
(T3) about 6 months before that fasting lipid panel. The year before this, my numbers were LDL=121, HDL=57. Total cholesterol was 200, and on the most recent test it was down to 192 (optimal = <200) . So everything now is either optimal or near optimal.

Can't Find Accurate Description of Liothyronine (T3)
So far I have looked at Drugs.com webmd.com medlineplus.gov uofmhealth.org pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov goodrx.com rxlist.com NOTE: This last site at least discusses the structure of the molecule and includes this text: "
Cytomel
(liothyronine sodium) Tablets may be used in preference to levothyroxine

Can you point me to a supplier of T3/Liothyronine please?
Desperately need a supply of
Cytomel
or Tiromel. My usual place in Thailand shut down. Been trying to pay a place in Bulgaria but the wire transfer won't work. I am very worried as I am running low on my current
Cytomel
. I cannot function on Levo alone, I will be bed ridden. Help please.

Does anyone use basal temperature to inform self-treatment?
Initially this was with Nutri Thyroid/Nutri Adrenal and vitamins, but more recently (last 4 or 5 years) with self-medication of T3 (
Cytomel
) from Mexico along with Levo prescribed by Doc.

Need of advice
I am on a combination Levothyroxine & Cynomel (=
Cytomel
/T3). These are the results I got today. Any suggestions? It seems to me that I need to reduce the Cynomel in order to activate the Thyroid. Would be grateful for any advice. Thank you

Thyroid Med schedule: Im thyroid-less and I split my 100mcg Synthyroid and 10mcg
Cytomel
between these times in parentheses (4:15am and 11:15am) and then once a week I add in another 50mcg Synthyroid (this 50 is recent addition) Ive been splitting my medications this way for the past 4 years.

Fast heartbeat - palpitations
I am hypo thyroid and Hoshi Been taking 50 mcg of Levo/ synthroid and 5 mcg of
cytomel
t3 since April, 30 after switching from Armour thyroid. Since last night I have been having palpitations on and off. For few hours then stops. Is this related to hypothyroidism?

Bovine thyroid supplements
After changing from armour (which worked perfectly) to erfa (not so good for me) to synthetic L thyroxine and
cytomel
, I gained a lot of weight. Would novothyral be better?

Thyroid blood test
My endo says that Levothyroxine/ synthroid 50 mcg taken in the am @ 7 am should not effect my labs and to skip Liithyronine/
cytomel
5 mg till after the test. Usually I have my blood tested @3 pm after 8 hours of taking meds.
