Thankfully, you had a forward looking Endo. Relax and take things easy, it may be not a quick fix but works really well for many. I found it great.

i have been given t3 for my gp, have been taking it now for 6 months. i take 30mcg split throughout day. i also take 75mcg of thyroxine. i never feel any better, in fact i feel worse. i went to see dr p and he suggested i stopped thyroxine which i did and felt better but then had extreme exhaustion so started again. is there anyone who can advise.

Katherine,

maybe you should post this as a new question as people may not see it here.

Hope you get the advice you need. :)

katherine this website may explain the process. You may just need to increase your T3.

I think there are more and more endos out there willing to prescribe T3. I was thrilled when mine did over a year ago now, and I haven't looked back! Good luck!
