Meds Decreased yet labs are doing the opposite:
Hey all... You have all been so hopeful and I am hoping to get some perspective. It has been two months since lowering my medicine. Most recently I was on 175 mcg of Synthroid and skipping every Sunday to equal up to 150 mcg. I should remind you, I am sans thyroid and I felt hypo prior to my TT and

Hair Loss, should I add t3?
I am suffering major hair loss. I am on WP Thyroid (65) and recently went back for blood work. T4 - 1.27 (0.82-1.77) Reverse T3 - 18.1 (9.2-24.1) TSH - (1.270 - (0.450-4.500) Dr. suggested adding cytomel. I am concerned if it helps with hair loss/regrowth or if it may cause additional hair loss.

Levo Increase, Heartrate
Hi all. I'm still working with my endo to raise both my FT3 and FT4 levels and feel better. I was on 75 mcg of Levo for 30 years, but did not feel well starting about a year ago. I started on Cytomel 5 mcg about 6 months ago, and have been slowly increasing the Levo. My latest increase is to 100 mcg

requested more armour
So i called my Endo today and requested a 1/4 grain increase in armour. I was on synthetics until 2 wks ago. I took an alternating dose of synthroid 50/75 every other day and 5 mcg cytomel daily as i explained in previous posts. Endo let me try 1 grain of armour and i am not sure if this is enough

switched to armour
So I was taking 5 mcg of cytomel a day and alternating 50/75 mcg of synthroid daily until last week. A week ago i went on 1 grain of armour (60mcg) and i am starting to feel a little more tired. I was told the 1 grain of armour would be sufficient but i don't believe so. It is not as easy to get

Still feeling awful
So I posted my lab results to you guys a few months ago saying my T3 was really low while everything else looked within normal range. I'm still gaining weight, tired and all around low energy. I'm slowly trying to incorporate 40 grams of carbs daily and that's helped a bit but I just want to feel normal

Cytomel costs in the UK.
Having suffered some real problems with the NHS T3 I have finally got my Gp to approve a move over to Cytomel. However getting it here in the UK has been a major problem. One pharmacist said "its not got a unit price on the agreed index so I can't get it for you", but the truth is some what different
