Add new commentthyroidstory.mivox.com was started as a simple blog dealing with my new diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Topics include medical information about hypothyroidism, information about hypothyroid medications like levothyroxine (Synthroid) and Armour Thyroid, as well as natural supplements like Thyromine, vincopectine and various vitamins and minerals. The site has now expanded to include discussion forums where other hypothyroid patients can discuss their experiences with hypothyroidism, and share tips for what medications, supplements and weight loss strategies have worked best for them.
T3 doesn't "plateau" Submitted by mivox on Monday, 31 July, 2006 - 7:49pm Because T3 is the "active" form of thyroid hormone, when you take Armour your body begins using the T3 immediately, and when it runs out it will always need more. The fact that you get tired when it's time for your next dose doesn't, IMO, mean that you need to take a higher dose. That's where blood tests come in handy, IMO. Knowing when you're at a fairly normal level ... when your Free T's are well in normal range, and your TSH is below 2 (I'd hazard to say below 1, but that's just based on my own experience of when I start feeling best), then you're probably at or near where you should be. But as long as you're needing to take hormone replacement, and you're taking something with T3, I think your body reacting to the previous dose's T3 being 'used up' is something I'd be expecting. -------------- Reply |
