thyroidstory.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.
Thyroid levels

Hey gang -
Just to add on to the discussion - be aware that seemingly good looking bllodwork (FTs and so on) does not always mean that those lovely hormones are making it OUT of your bloodstream and INTO your tissues where they are needed. There are several deficiencies that can cause them, including ferritin and selenium, but it seems a common deficiency is adrenal hormones ie cortisol and DHEA. Go to stopthethyroidmadess.com and read up the adrenal page, or send email to Val - she is an excellenyt moderator and very knowledgeable re the connxn between adrenals and thyroid. If you're hypo- awhile youe adrenals make work harder to make up the lost energy, and become fatigued after awhile, producing too little cortisol to allow the T3 to be converted from blood to your cells. So your bloodwork looks lovely and you still feel like crap.
I am in Week 2 of a gradual adrenal-support, using Isocort, OTC cortisol, and the difference was remarkeable in only a couple of days. Biggest difference was my ongoing aches and pains reduced dramatically and I am finally back in the gym working out and lifting weights with minimal pain. FINALLY.

Anyway, read up and see what you think. I believe we've mentioned sttm.com before, but it's full of good info.
