Will thyromine balance your thyroid? I recently ordered some. I am under the Tricare (military) system and the doctors refuse to treat you if you are in range. I had seen an endocrinologist once and he said my Free T4 and T3 was too low and if on an follow up by Free T4 was as low they would try me on a trial of hormone. I have managed with Iosol Iodine and probiotics to get my TSH down to 1.5 when it was 5.8; however my Free T4 is at the very lowest end of the range. I have severe constipation and often tired and any attempts at weight loss are futile...my fingernails are bending on the ends, my hair is falling out and dry. About 15 years I suddenly gained appro 20 pounds...lost it on Physicians Weight Loss but gained it back plus 10 more. For 45 plus years and with two sons I maintained 118 to 125 at 5'5"==I have a large frame. Anyway, I have all the classic symptoms and all they want to do is say eat more fiber (had two polyps in 87 and 1 last year), exercise more (when it tires instead of energizes me), your tiredness is depression...argggggggggggh! The medical field is depressing...why do the pharmacies rule and the doctors do not listen to common sense. My LDL is high which is indicative of hypothyroid. I eat a healthy diet, exercise and do not drink or smoke. I am going to make one more attempt to get my free T4 and T3 checked as they said my TSH was okay this time and then I may have to go elsewhere. I am 60 years old and do not want to have problems with my health when it could be metabolic...the root cause not lack of cholesterol lowering medication, antidepressants, fiber, or whatever else. Thanks for listening. It sounds like on the website that Thyromine could be used instead of the synthetic hormones. I just wanted to know if I should beat myself up trying with the doctors one more time or just give this a try. I tried one before from Wellness Resource--Thyroid Helper and it helped a little and I thought I was out of the woods but it is an up and down battle.
