underative thyroid - T4 and T3 issue

[Guest guest]

I am 36 and was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid when I was 14. I have

stunted growth because my mum, sister and brother are all the same height and

I'm a lot shorter. I also have some baby teeth which makes me think it started

when I was much younger.

I have felt my symptoms are still there and have complained for years to my

doctors about not having enough thyroxine. They blame my weight on my diet and I

have argued countless times and even been frustrated that I have cried on many

occasions in the surgery. I have said I must be a small percentage that falls

out of the guidlines and said that my thyroxine isnt working.

I now read the article in the Daily mail and I am now convinced I need T3. I can

understand how Gayle has felt and I dont know how I can convince my doctor when

it costs so much money compared to T4. But I think that the T3 solution is the

light at the end of the tunnel for me. I wonder if I should just buy some T3 and

try it like Gayle did and see if it works. Can someone give me some advice

please. thanks
