t3 is for short time usage only, it gives you palpitation and not good for the heart, that why is giving prior (fast working, short live) RAI and just few days after it.

Hi Rach - I've pm's jeans, but could you pm me with the names, please? Just to see if I've either been to either, or missed one!

That's not always true, hayo6. Many people around here find they need T3 either in addition to or instead of T4 to get well. But it's not always easy to find GPs or Endocrinologists who are confident in using it.

Hope you find someone soon, jeans x

Many of us take T3 or NDT containing T3 long term, Hayo6. Levothyroxine gave me palpitations but T3 calms them.
