Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Angie I saw your post about thyroid disease and thought you might be interested in my experience. My thyroid tests were always on the low end of normal. (this was before I knew anything about mito) I finally found a doctor who treats people for thyroid hormone resistence disease. He calls it 's Thyroid syndrome. You can check out his site at http://wilsonsyndrome.com/. He treats people with cytomel in a time release formula. (liothyronine) That is the T-3 form of thyroxine. The form of the hormone that is actually used in the cell. I cain't tell you how much it helped me. I had three fabulous years. I finished my degree, and started teaching. Then I had more problems with my pacemaker and lost ground, but I would not be without my liothyronine. It makes a big difference in the quality of my life. Last year I went down to UCSF and the endocrine doctor there confirmed this diagnosis. He said " I don't know why, but for some reason your cells are resistent and you need this medicine. " I hope this helps Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
