Well - after doing battle with an endocrinologist who doesn't believe in T3 and a GP who thinks it's too dangerous, I decided to self medicate T3 and have been doing so since the end of March. I've been feeling like a new person since then - many of the hypo symptoms that would not shift despite a daily dose of Levo 125/150mcg alternating - despite a TSH scraping along the bottom limits of detectability with no hyper symptoms!
To cut a long story short I take 25mcg T3 along with 120/125mcg alternating, no adverse effects. I'm gluten free and taking selenium and vitamin D.
The most recent blood tests revealed:
TSH 0.03 (0.35-5)
T4 13.6 (9-24)
T3 6.7 (3.5-6.5)
I received a panic call from the surgery to book an appointment to see the GP urgently as she feels I'm over medicated - I really feel like telling her to get lost! They wouldn't listen to me when I was feeling like death for so long.
Please could you advise if you think this regime is OK, I think it's fine - and just putting too much on the blood and not how the patient feels!
Your thoughts would be really appreciated - many thanks in advance.
