Re: Who Is On Just T-3 Meds ????

[Guest guest]

I am on T3 only. Have been since March 2007. I have much less heart racing

and palps then with Armour. I also got hungry on Armour.

I lost 9 lbs with T3 and on the high fat diet that Broda recommends.

-- Who Is On Just T-3 Meds ????

For those of you on just cytomel, can you describe your experience?

I'm waiting for my meds before I switch from Thyroid-S to cytomel and

I'm hoping that this is the missing link that I need. And I'm also

hopeful that I can finally get rid of this weight gained since my

thyroid issues began.

I get the feeling that a small percentage of folks are on cytomel, but

the more I read up on it, the more optimistic I am about the future.

>For those of you on just cytomel, can you describe your experience?<

I am . Just started and I completed a month. I gained 3 lbs (AUGH!)

BUT I also found I have low aldosterone. Was tested out this month , too.

I'm started on floinef. I think my aldostrone was really keeping me from

accomplishing anything! Aldosterone controls salts. Lets see if

this helps with the water retention.

Believe me, Im bummed. I thought for sure this was my

magic cure for weight as well as all the other symptoms Im having.

I know I need an increase in T3. I have to wait for my blood work

before my doctor will perscribe me more. I can feel I need more

and my temps need to come up just a bit.

Good luck and keep us informed.

I have been on T3 only protocol since June 2nd. I have only had

minimal improvment in a few of my symptoms. I have not lost any of

the 50 lbs that I gained last year when I became hypo & was taking

armour. :-(

Hi ,

I am on 200 mcg of T3. Congrats on your 9 lb weight loss! That is

wonderful. Sadly, I have lived the low carb lifestyle for about 5

years now. Even last year when the lbs were piling on I continued to

eat a low carb diet. I would not change it for anything, I love steak

& salad, cheese, eggs & so on. It is just not working for me at this

time. I am not giving up though. Something will click sooner or later.

My diet is definitely high carbs. I do think I have candida, so cutting back on

carbs is like

withdrawing from heroin (not that i would really know what that is like). So,

obviously I

feel better eating carbs.

I have been told I have insulin resistance and that I should try low carb. But

based on my

experience and failed attempts, never mind the fact that I don't even lose

weight, I've

haven't been eager to start it again. I've wanted to wait until my adrenals

were in a better

place. Now that I'll be switching to T3 meds only, I'm hopefully my body will

be in a better

place to tolerate a drastic diet change.

I'm much more curious about this high-far philosophy. I've read many books, and

recall

reading a few that says a high fat diet is better than any other diet.

Val,

Although I do not know much about Diabetes I believe that he told me

that his Dr told him to go on 150 ? Insulin morning & evening. He

says that he has never been able to control his BGL. He told me that

his Dr said that there is no point in trying to control it any longer

because it would not help.

Thanks Val. I am going to copy what you have said & get in touch with

him. He does not even use a computer but his son does. I will find

out what meds he is taking & find a new Dr for him. He lives out in

the sticks, maybe I can find a Doc here in Dallas. I will keep you

posted.
