Dancing ruined me!

Hi All,

So I went out for the first time in a VERY long time dancing, eating and having a few (probably too many) drinks on Saturday night. We had a baby sitter and we were free for a night!

It was such a fun night at the time.

However - It has totally utterly wiped me out. I feel foul!

I literally feel like I have zapped myself of all the energy I ever had. My brain fog is unbelievable - I am so scatty today even writing this is complicated!

Can one night of fun make me take so many steps back - feels so not worth it now.

Because endos - for the most part - don't believe in T3. If she'll put you on it, all well and good. If she won't, then you'd have to buy it yourself.

But, be warned, we now have an extra problem in France. The law was changed last summer, and it is now illegal to import prescription 'drugs' without a prescription. So, you'd have to find a source in Europe. And, they are getting harder to find.

But, why do you think T3 is what you need? Sorry, I can't remember your labs. Are you a bad converter? And, even if you are, and you do manage to get T3 from somewhere, you still have to go slowly. Nothing is going to happen over-night. You have to start very low on the T3, and build up slowly.

Also, if your endo is anti-T3, as some of them are, she might refuse to continue treating you if you start self-treating with it. And, as your TSH will become suppressed when you start taking T3, she will know there is something odd.

I'm not saying you shouldn't take T3. I'm just saying you can't go barging round like a bull in a china shop. You have to take baby steps. Ask for T3, by all means, but you might have to put up a good argument for it. Do you have a good argument? I don't think she'd accept the fact that you just want to go out dancing.

Haha! I thought dancing would be the perfect argument!!

Because isn't it all about having a good level of T3 for everything to be working properly?

I just feel like I'm going on a very scenic route to get my T3 at a good level. To me it seems crazy I have to keep upping my T4 (which takes ages I know) to get my T3 in a happy place. My head says just bypass the T4 and get straight to the issue of T3. Does that make sense?

I did but some T3 from Greece and it's sat in my draw on advice from everyone on here. I'm not one to self medicate unless I TOTALLY have to. I know I'm not at that stage yet. It's just all so frustrating.

Do you think if she gets me on the right dose of Levo that everything should just slot into place? As long as I convert enough T3 this is a good route?

It's hard to see the wood from the trees when low. And Ive totally ruined myself from the weekend.

You think if on the right Levo dose things like going out and having a boogie are possible?
