Those of you taking Natural Thyroid, or same type....

October 12, 2010

I was at my endo yesterday, I asked again about Compounded T3 or Natural

Thyroid. I am currently taking Cytomel, its a manufactured T3. I have only been

taking 5 mcg a day as along with my adrenal gland h-cortizone it all causes alot

of anxiety. He RX'd it for 2 times a day to up to 2 tablets 2 a day.

He was still leary about the compounded T3 because it was not time released, you

just got one burst of T3 in a day. Of course after I left I thought of asking

him what about making 2 smaller RX's to take twice a day.

As for Natural Thryoid, he said I could try that, he didn't have a problem with

me doing it, but that I didn't need an RX, I could just order it online.

He is going to call asap when my new lab work comes back, he is concerned about

my cortisol levels and wants to see my new T3 & T4 levels. I had stopped taking

synthroid and felt no different.

So when I type in 'Natural Thyroid' at Google I get a mess of results. Am I

calling it by the wrong name? I've looked around and should I have asked for

Nature-Throid? Is it helpful?

I am just so tired of being sick and tired! My mind will get so wound up but my

body is so weak. I get dizzy/fatigued easily and collapse. Its not fun living in

a messy house, wanting to clean, trying it and getting faint and mad at myself.

All within about 2 miles of my house, I went to the reg. dr. for antibiotics,

then to Walgreens, dropped off RX, was looking for medicated lip balm dr.

recommended for this allergic reaction I've had on my lower lip/chin for over a

month, and I collapsed. Its so embarrassing. I don't want to even try leaving my

house because I'm afraid if I go out I'll collapse in the grocery store, etc. I

hate this.
