Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yesterday, after almost 2 years of going round and round with DR,s and Endos, I finally was at the end of even wanting or being able to try to feel better. I was out of hope and wondering if I will ever be able to do ANYTHING again. This monster truly brought me to my knees. I honestly felt like dying was a better option than continuing to live like this. Through all of this, I have been seeing a psychiatrist for depression. I finally asked my psych for some cytomel. HE GAVE IT TO ME!!!!!!!!! If I had never been to this room and heard people talking about cytomel, Even I would not have asked someone for it because I didn't know nothing about no cytomel, T3 or any other thing. My Dr's sure as hell didn't mention anything further than the Amour as far as treating my misery was concerned. i couldn't get in to the other docs for two months!!! You would think that people who are that busy should have come across the most serious of thyroid issues already and be more efficient with the visit time. Anyway, I just want to tell everybody that you CAN ask your shrink for cytomel. He knew what it is and WHADDAYAKNOW! Cytomel can be prescribed for depression. that was YESTERDAY. TODAY, I already feel like myself again. After 2 ----ing years of living in thyroid hell, My shring felt some compassion for me and did what I ASKED HIM TO DO!!!!! my only reason for not being more bitter is that through this disease, I have been forced to look at my life - what I want, what I CAN do and probably what I should have done in my 20's as far as career goes. I am an Artist who has gone Sooooooo far out of my way looking to succeed at things I never relly wanted. The reason I couldn't do it in my 20's was that I had no support for such a career (you need ALOT of support do have a career in art) The starving artist is a sad reality in this time and place, or at least is was for me. Well, and then I was too stupid to create any art worth viewing anyway! Now, since I've gotten old and knocked down hard for a couple of years, I have had to be really honest with myself about what I want in my life and what I just don't have the energy to deal with anymore. When you are as sick as we all have been, the list of priorities gets very short, but very exact! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WISDOM AND FOR SHARING IT WITH ME.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hi Judy, YOU GO GIRL! I'm SO happy for you that you took the chance to ask your Psychiatrist and it paid off. Doing your own research and being persistent is the key...I've fired a few docs. I take T3 (like Cytomel) and it has helped me more than anything.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 That's fantastic Judy! I hope it works out for you. I had no idea that shrink's could prescribe Cytomel but great to know! My 13 year old loves Art and has thought about that for a career. I told her that would be wonderful but to have a back up plan too. Best of luck!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 This is great to hear Judy!!!!! Would you mind if I took it one step further? Cytomel, T3, is of huge benefit for the entire body for hose of us that are poor converters.. Adding it to your system seems to get things jump started, allowing your body to work better all over. It's important that it be taken correctly though.. and just cuz I'm the mother hen that I am.. .I'd like to ask how you have been set up for dosing it... How much are you taking and in how many doses per day? I've heard of docs that will prescribe too much in a single dose and it ends up defeating the purpose.. just want to make sure... we tend to watch each others' backs here... *shy smile* Personally T3 has been a key solution for me.. When on T4 only meds my health declined continuously for YEARS!
