Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Thanks !! How are you feeling now with the t3 added? How much are you taking? Actually I just got a script for T3 today, 5mg 2X's per day -- the Dr. does prescribe Armour in some cases....wanted to try lowering the levoxyl and then adding t3 to see if I feel better in a couple of months. So I'm game to try it. Will fill it later on today and go from there. She also did a 1 hour cortisol test -- (may be useless -- who knows) I think Gracia prefers the day long test? Feel like I'm getting somewhere! Hope things get better for you! take care, test results > Date: Sat, 3 Jul 2004 08:36:23 -0400 > > Citrus Punch > > Hi Guys -- > Picked up my test results from my dr.'s office yesterday -- here's they are. > I had asked him at my last visit if I had " autoimmune hypothyroidism " and > he said he hadn't run an antibodies test.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hi , I don't feel that much better with the T3. I'm kind of at a crossroads right now. I don't see myself going back to my endo and the primary doc that I trust just went on maternity leave. I feel that I have other hormonal stuff going on, like estrogen and others. Does anyone know of a good site that explains the symptoms of low or high levels of hormones? I'm going to see a nurse prac on Monday b/c I need a pap smear and suspect that I have fibroids. ----Original Message Follows---- From: " Hodgson " <suser@...> Reply-hypothyroidism <hypothyroidism > Subject: Re: test results & T3 Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2004 14:22:53 -0400 Thanks !!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I don't know of such a site, but I want it too! Something like the adrenal/thyroid scorecard site, for the other hormones.
