HELP! BAD LAB RESULTS WITH NDT
I switched to 1/2 grain Armour Thyroid on August 9 and then on September 14 switched to 1/2 Nature-throid (because I read It is better). Today September 30 I got my lab results and they are extremely bad, no wonder I have been feeling so weak and exhausted lately. Nothing can make me get out of bed.

Help with Lab results pleaseđź’•
Hi; here are my most recent lab results. I waited 24 hrs from my last meds and had blood draw at 930 am.. I am currently on 120 mg of NDT and 7.5 mcg Cytomel.. We can't seem to raise my T4 - and my TSH suggests hyper ( I don't feel hyper) I actually have more energy with the cytomel no afternoon crashes

Poll: Dosage Amount
Hello all, I've been doing labs once per month to get dialed in with dosage. My doctor here still has me on Cytomel 5mcg/2x. But I've had to dose higher in my own to *start to feel normal. I currently take apart a 75 mcg capsule and seperate into quarters I take "18" mcg with 60 mcg of Thyroid-S twice

Cytomel once a day
Hi there just wondering if anyone takes their cytomel goes once a day I ask because I don't really like taking it more than once a day sometimes I forget I do have an alarm set to take my second dose but sometimes my pills are not with me on hand so then I miss the dose when I was supposed to take it

Weakness, meds or the disease?
Good morning! I got myself off to a fitness class recently. To my horror I was extremely weak. I have always been very strong for a woman, push ups were not a problem. I could not belie how weak i have become. And joint pain during the work out. After my first class it took almost a week to get

Labs opinion
A brief history first: I'm 58 and have been on Synthroid for 30 years with no problems. My FT4 has always been mid range, but FT3 was on the bottom of normal when my last doctor started checking it in 2012. He was an open minded general practitioner, but never addressed the FT3 and now has retired.

Can anyone share their experiences of Cytomel or Perrigo Liothyronine? And getting either on Named Patient Basis?
Hello folks, Earlier this year (April) I started self medicating with Uni-Pharma Liothyronine, taking 12.5mcg daily, along with 125mcg of prescribed Levothyroxine. I found an improvement in my symptoms and managed to convince my Endocrinologist to prescribe me T3. He put me on 20mcg of Mercury
