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

Cytomel (T3) only or along with NDT (T3&T4)?
How do i know if I'm to do Cytomel alone, or combine it with my Synthroid-S, which is a NDT comparable to Armor. Here are my labs: TSH 2.37 (.40-4.5 mIU/L) RT3 21 (8-25 ng/dL) T3, Free 2.7 (2.3-4.2 pg/ml) T3, Uptake 28 (22-35%) T4, Free 1.0 (.8-1.8 ng/dL

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

I've been overweight for most of my life- but have recently put on 20 lbs in 10 months. I've always eaten mindfully, avoiding sugar. I also have some of the classic hypo
