Hi, My Name is Debbie, I'm new here, just wanted to introduce myself. I have hashimoto's and I have bipolar.
I was taken off
synthroid
(Levoxyl) and put on 120 mg of armour thyroid, at which time I began to feel so much better, but only a month later put on nature throid 97.5 mg and my symptoms have started returning. sound right? any suggestions?

Blood test results with 75 mcg SYNTHROID for 6 weeks: do I need T3?
These are my results after 6 weeks taking 75 mcg of
SYNTHROID
. The before results are with no thyroid medication.

MSM
I have not taken it because i am waiting for my body to fully adjust to the new
Synthroid
dose and the addition of T3 before starting that. It is suppose to be great for acne & inflammation in my joints. Have any of you tried or currently take MSM?

Cytomel- HELP!
Have taken
Synthroid
for many years. Never felt 100% but just delt with it. Saw a new dr in my drs office ...she put me on Cytomel...wow I felt a difference. I went for my check up and she is no longer there! (She moved back to her home state). My old school dr said he never prescribes Cytomel.

What do you suppose I was on? asks the new one...
I am simply going off
Synthroid
T4 which I know means needing to move up slowly on NDT T3/T4. If I did that it would be a massive drop in the T3 my body is used to. Note: I did stop the Levothyroxine (
Synthroid
) 50mcg before beginning the ThyroGold at around 120mg at bedtime and 75mg around noon.

Minocycline and Alternatives Update
My thyroid (I take
Synthroid
) is in range for the first time in probably 20 years. My D3 is 68, which is the highest it has been in 25 or 30 years. My RA factor is now in the middle of the range, my sed rate is actually 15. The only test that is out of range is my CR-P - inflammation.

Does this seem right?
Yesterday I received an official diagnosis of: Hypothyroid secondary to Hashimotos and have been prescribed
Synthroid
25mcg. Does this seem right and good to start medication?

DANGER?
I stopped taking
synthroid
6 months ago after 21 years of filling prescriptions since being treated with radioactive iodine. My decision for cessation is based on my personal health goals from year 55 (b. 1961) onward to the end.

One month = different results
Doc ordered recheck of TPO and a script for
Synthroid
25 mcg. Have also gone off gluten and dairy. She gave me a diagnosis of hypothyroid secondary to Hashimotos. This all sound correct and a good course of action?

Labs opinion
I'm doubtful that this new regimen of
Synthroid
88 mcg and Cytomel 5 mcg is going to bring my labs up enough for me to feel better. And, I doubt she is going to prescribe any increases in the Cytomel and maybe not even the
Synthroid
due to the low TSH.

Weakness, meds or the disease?
I currently am on 50/75 alternating days of brand
synthroid
and cytomel (finally taking whole 5 mg of the T3 now) and if you know about this, is there a way to get your strength back or is this it for me? I feel as though i am still under medicated. Thanks in advance.

Max. dose of thyroid, Free T4 still too low
We tried the min. dosage of
Synthroid
and equivalent but the side effects were severe anxiety and strange muscle twitching in my facial muscles even taking the lowest dose of 25 mg at once per week intervals. Endo tests showed no thyroid antibodies. Your thoughts?
