Re: Synthroid/Cytomel

Today was the first day I’ve added

T3. I only took 5mcg this morning. He suggested starting there for

one week and watching to see if I consistently feel a slump in the afternoon

around 1-2 pm. If so, he then wants me to add the afternoon dose and

acknowledged some people need a third even later in the day.

I felt pretty good today. I don’t

know how much I should notice after just one small dose, but I was fairly

active and productive around the house. The biggest difference I noticed

was being able to make a decision about dinner and prepare it! And I did

it relatively quickly without feeling incredibly overwhelmed and resorting to

take-out. If that had anything to do with T3, I’m ecstatic! I

have missed my mental focus and acuity!

Hooray for you! LOLI would die w/o my T3!!(And I mean that literally!!)I lost all my mind before taking Cytomel. T4 did nothing for that part of my stupid Hashis. T3 is all I have to enable me to drive again and talk relatively coherent, etc. ;-)~KarlaSent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerryDate: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 20:49:45 -0500To: <Texas_Thyroid_Groups >Subject: RE: Synthroid/Cytomel Today was the first day I’ve added T3.
