Tirosint

Its been 10.5 months since my thyroidectomy. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day.

Am I to expect more serious changes, again.

I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more. Its been a life-changing experience but not the best.

Do you have blood test results for FT4, FT3 please include the ranges.

It seems as though you are very undermedicated. What about Armour.

My doctors will only do TSH.

Thats a shame, Most people in the UK use private online firms to test these. I live in France and get all of these tested. If you could afford it you should it will show you exactly where your levels are. Doctors and the TSH only keep us ill.

I have no thyroid either so depend on these tests. Last year my new bottle of NDT stopped working well and my levels went down I was also falling over (body trying to go to sleep) but it was the FT3 level that showed me. I went from a FT3 of just over 6 to 2.76 after only taking the new batch for 44 days. Good Luck I hope that you can get it sorted soon.

I am going to use a private firm but have to wait 90 days as I just started the tirosint.

That sound like a good plan, hopefully it works out for you in two months.
