Hi, PattiSue - I am with your doctor - not giving my body a chance

to go hypo again.

I have already ordered Cytomel (on the 7th of February, hope and

pray it arrives soon) and plan to supplement as needed, judging by

my body symptoms....

The more I read about Dr. Lowe's theories the more plausible

and " right on target " they sound to me. I know insulin-resistance

is taken for granted - my grandfather, type II diabetic, certainly

had that - why is it the idea of thyroid hormone resistance is such

an overlooked idea?

Okay, guys, I will post what my final dosage ends up being, when I

get there....not going to post about individual increases though

again for the sake of not worrying anyone...does that sound like a

pretty good idea? I don't think at this point I'm going to have

a problem being hyper. The biggest problem with me at this point is

my body's repeated wish to slide back towards hypo....and again that

fits exactly the pattern of a fibro patient according to Dr.

Lowe....

PattieSue, your doc sounds like a great one!

It sounds good to me Gentle..when I decide I am going to do

something, I usually " play it close to the vest " for that very

reason...I don;t want anyone to add their two cents and make me doubt

myself or my plan. If you are doing this from a place that you are

comfortable with, don't allow anyone else's opinion to undermine your

confidence. I am all for that! I think we each know ourselves and

our limitations and what we hope to accomplish best and so we need to

listen to our inner voice...no one can know you better than yourself!

I find my own experimentation with things to be vital to my health

and how I can feel my best. And i usually try not to give advice

unless someone has asked for it, because unsolicited advice, no

matter how well-meaning is a vexation!

My understanding is that Cytomel is hard to find (like Thyrolar.)

>I have heard that too - not all pharmacies carry it. I am lucky

that MyRXforless does carry it - my order was shipped (according to

them) the day after I ordered...

So I would expect it will arrive within the next week or two, since

it's been 10 days since it's been shipped now..
