Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Hello and Jerry: Yes I take Thyrolar and it does work. I'm taking a combination of Synthroid in the morning and Thyrolar-1 at night. I have definitely felt an improvement since taking this combination. This combination has also assisted in helping me lose weight. Ann At 04:48 PM 4/25/01 -0700, you wrote: >Has anyone had any experience with this med?

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Ann, I didn't know you needed a combination. Wonder if that is standard? I am glad you are feeling better and it helps with losing weight!!! Happy Springtime!! Love, Reneé and Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 I went to a specialist (endo) and he prescribed the combination of these two prescriptions because Thyrolar has T3/T4 and Synthroid contains only T4. Because of my symptoms (fibromyalgia and hypothryoidism), he wanted to add T3 to the treatment but he felt I needed more of an increase of T4. I have had hypothyroidism for 30 years. I had basically been on the same dosage of Synthroid for most of those 30 years. Recently I had started to experience all the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism (dry hair, weight gain even though I ate small meals, feeling cold at all times, tiredness, etc. plus body aches and pains). I went in for a blood test and he found that my TSH levels were high. This treatment has helped get my TSH levels back in the normal range plus has helped in allveviating some of the muscle aches because of the T3. I hope this information helps.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 and Jerry, I suggest that you and everyone else use the thyroid forum on delphi, in addition to this list. There is a lot of traffic on that forum and I've found it extremely valuable. Go to http://www.delphi.com and make yourself a user profile. Then type "thyroid" in the search engine and the About.com thyroid forum will come up. That's the one you want.Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Jeff, I was on Thyrolar 1 for a few months. Had my blood tested again, (don't tell Earl, lol) and the TSH decreased but the T3 didn't change much. Dr. said that if you take Thyrolar, you can't ADJUST the TSH or T3 bec. it is all in one drug. He put me on Synthroid/cytomel so he can regulate the levels better. I haven't been on it very long, so don't have any results on how I feel. My hypothyroid wasn't really out of the normal range to begin with, but borderline normal. Hope that helped. PS I THINK I had more energy on the thyrolar, but to soon to tell. Take care.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 : You're truly amazing. How long are you going to paralyze your body with drugs?? Synthetics are simply contraindicated for any thyroid disorder. When are you going to really investigate how to bring your thyroid back to normal physiological function??

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Jeff: Do you really think combining any amount of drugs will ever restore thyroid function? Nature never intended for drugs to "replace" a normal function which can be re-established by simply assessing the reason for the disorder and then supplying the raw materials the thyroid needs. "Drug of choice" seems to be such a catch phrase in a society in which synthetic materials are accepted as a substitute for effective, natural supplements. Earl -----Original Message-----From: Jeff Keahey [mailto:jeff@...]Sent: Thursday, 26 July 2001 08:31hypothyroidism Subject: THYROLAR I would be interested to hear opinions of Thyrolar from anyone who is currently on or has been on Thyrolar. Thyrolar seems to be the drug of choice for patients coming off of Armour due to consistency problems. Also has any one gone from Thyrolar to a combination of Synthroid/Cytomel? I have been reading that the ratio of T4-T3 leans too much on the T3 side with Thyrolar and Armour. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Earl, How come you just pick on me? Many of us are on drugs for our thyroid and other problems. Have a nice evening. Take care. Love and Peace, Reneé and Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Earl is in New Zealand, so the time difference is quite a bit. Probably this evening you will get your reply from him if you live in the US. Take care. Love and Peace, Reneé and Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Peaches: NO! If you've had RAI, then your thyroid gland has been destroyed. Your best bet is Armour....as the least hassly replacement. Folks....be really attentive here. If you are threatened with RAI [radio active iodine] or surgery to your thyroid, run! No one needs either RAI nor surgery. An overactive thyroid is simply the effect of an auto-immune disorder. To eliminate the thyroid disorder it is essential to get rid of the offending pathogen [herpes,candida, EBV, CMV, E.coli, or have the mercury removed from teeth. If you have amalgam fillings and can't afford removal, then get the herbal cilantro, from: Sacred medicine Sanctuary...www.kitchendoctor.com You'll need to take the cilantro for as long as you have mercury and for 6 months after removal. The pathogens can be eliminated readily with the Hormone Regeneration protocol at www.thyrodine.com Neither drugs nor RAI/surgery will actually restore a thyroid to normal function ever again. The Hormone Regeneration protocol does restore thyroid to full physiological function forever, if you follow sane nutritional/health practices. Earl Re: THYROLAR Earl???? You havent answered me yet..

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Sue: Whats does I'm ON Eltroxin mean??? There you are suggests that you've accepted some medically trained person's only way of addressing a thyroid problem....with drugs! Have you seen a naturopath or any other alternative doctor??? Eltroxin is a drug. Drugs destroy health. Drugs eventually cripple thyroid function. Wake up! Earl RE: THYROLAR Hmmm. I'm on Eltroxin.
