Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hi, I was finally diagnosed as sub clinical hypothyroid last December after many years of being told the usual ''results within range'' story! and being very ill last year I had a doctor that understood how ill I was. I started on 25mg of levothyrozine 13.11.09 and felt an improvement after a few days. It was increased to 50mg 29.1.10 after deteriating again. Just had results of recent blood test but not sure if it's good or bad. T4 12.62 + T.S.H 0.96 . Is this ok now as I do feel a lot better thank goodness but have gained over 20 lbs and cannot seem to loose it (just started atkins diet to help) skin still very dry, body hair not growing yet, nails splitting,blurred vision etc. Do you think I need T3 as well? I asked for Triiodothyronine last time I saw my Dr but he was against it or any T3 med. My Son lives in Egypt and said he can get any meds I need but I am reluctant to start 'self medicating' without advice. Regards Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
