Hypothyroid, Time-Released T3

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

After the cardiologist confirmed that my flutters were not due to some form of

heart disease, I began 25 mcg of time-released T3. I noticed a difference the

first day and was really excited. However, with each passing day, I noticed

less and less energy. I called my neuro to ask for an increase to 50 mcg. He

didn't respond.

Meanwhile, I went to Dr. Dennis who is an allergist/environmental med

doctor on board orders. He comes highly recommended along with Dr. Rea;

I understand from more than one credible source that the two of them have been

hounded by the TMB for the last 25 years for thinking outside the box.

Dr. has a " semi-concierge " practice. He takes Medicare, but also does

the supplements, bioidentical hormones, hyperbaric chamber, and SPECTs. He was

open to seeing me as hypothyroid. He ordered some more thyroid antibodies tests

to ensure I am not Hashi, a 24 hr. iodine to see how the T3 is working so far,

and the basic thyroid panel. I am still waiting for the test results to come

back. I found Dr. to be very personable and intelligent, but am not

sure about a long-term relationship because he seems to have a standard protocol

that he wants all his patients to follow.

Meanwhile, I got back to not being able to get out of bed on this low dose of

T3. I looked on drugs.com, which said that I was on the lowest dose, and that

many doctors allow an increase after one week. I put myself up to 50 mcg. in

the morning. I feel like a human once again, so now I wait to see what Dr.

says on Monday at my next appointment. Hope everyone has a Happy

Thanksgiving!
