Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 The more I read, the more upset I get. I've lost more than half my hair. This is new endo had me reduce the 50 mcg of=A0 T3 I was taking to 25 mcg and now added T4. I'm supposed to start with 1/2 of 75 mcg for a few days then in- crease to 75. He said this process to " fix " my thyroid would take at least 7 to 8 months. When I asked him about the hair, he said that I might lose a bit but it would come back. Now I just read on the thread about swollen hands and feet that it's low T3, which he just lowered again. After he lowered dmy T3 I was tested Monday and my FT3 was 2.5, FT4 0.2. I've had a headache for about a month (same time frame that I was lowering the T3), and my heartburn and stomach has become much worse.I live in Kirkland, WA. Does ANYONE know a doctor in my areas who is willing to dose according to how a patient feels and not just blood tests? This doctor I'm currently seeing is Murray who supposedly is very good. He seems nice enough but is very rushed and I get about 5 to 10 minutes with him. He says RT3 is not relevant. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge! Just because something isn't seen doesn't mean it's not there<> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
