----------------------------

Philip, maybe you are right. I have only been back on the shots for

a little over a month after doing the spread on T gel for a year.

I'll keep this in mind but still pursue my thyroid problem theory.

Well i am on 100mcg of T4 a day and 25mcg of T3 and i can tell you that it takes

awhile

but it has helped a great deal with my joint pain, mostly in the feet. At one

point i had to

crawl out of bed as my feet hurt so much each morning. Now i can get up and go

running

first thing. The TSH number is important, but symptoms are more important. I

first tried to

take the natural Thyroid, but it seemed too strong, so i use the synthetic T4

and T3.

Levothyroxine is the synthetic T4.
