Frustration
My thyroid is laden with nodules that are causing voice changes, swallowing issues, and all the symptoms of Hypothyroidism but with no pharmaceutical relief (i.e
synthroid
). I’m making enough thyroid hormone but my thyroid doesn’t think so 🙄. Adding synthetic hormones won’t fix the problem.

How long does cytomel take to work?
I know
synthroid
has to build up in your body but I am wondering how long does it take cytomel to work? The dosage of the cytomel 5mcg. I’m not going to post my labs.

High and Low Cortisol
I am now taking 150 mcg of
Synthroid
and I do have some T3 available. Also, would like to know if anyone has been able to overcome insomnia and the rest of adrenal problems after balancing cortisol, optimizing their vitamins and thyroid levels.

Thyroid Bloods All over the Place
Dr put me on
Synthroid
(lowest dose). I have had 2 tests since then. First one my TSH was 2.01. I saw the Dr after this and she said she wondered if my thyroid problems were caused by a virus rather than being hypo. Had another test and TSH has come back at 2.34.

Follicular thyroid carcinoma, Hurthle cell variant
A month later I was started on
Synthroid
100mcg; levels were checked every 12 weeks. June-Mid November were awful as I had symptoms of being overmedicated, (TSH was .02). Then after another surgery in July, (not thyroid), those symptoms were intensely exasperated.

Synthroid
and wasn't feeling great for over a month and taking it as directed. I experienced sevear mood swings anger and body pain. I would get out of bed and my feet hurt i felt like i had sand bags on my hips dragging me down.

Hoshimotos, low wbc, and low cortisol
Anyway new doc did bloodwork and it came back vitamin D deficient, kind of low b12, upped my prescribed
synthroid
from 112 to 125 but she was more concerned that my cortisol levels are basically non existent and my WBCs was 1600 with essentially no neutrophils.

Will someone please help?
At the moment I am taking 65 mg Whole thyroid and also t4 25 mcg (
synthroid
). I was previously on 90 mg Whole thyroid but started to feel a little hyper and my doctor wanted to put me on t3 only as he thought its the only thing that would help with my Hashimotos.

Gaining weight like crazy - have no thyroid due to cancer
After having my thyroid removed for cancer 6 years ago, I started on
Synthroid
in 2012 and gained weight and had depression. I was on 150 mg of
synthroid
and my blood showed free t3 was 4.1 (range 3.5- 6.5) Free t4 was 23.7 (range 10 -25). I was feeling very sick.

Cytomel/T3 added
Recently I was on 175mcg of
Synthroid
and not feeling well. In the past two years I’ve gain 50 more pounds! My PCP added Cytomel 9 days ago due to the weight gain, poor mood, and pain in muscles especially legs. Since the Cytomel was added I have horrible pain in my legs and back.

Interpreting thyroid results, should I take T3?
I'm wondering if it would make more sense to lower my
synthroid
and start a low dose of a T3 medication? I've had horrible air hunger (feeling like I can't get a satisfying breath) for nearly a year, which seems to get worse when my TSH is too low.
