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.
Two options Submitted by Guest on Wednesday, 2 August, 2006 - 4:06am One is to get a new doctor because she's citing a study done on hyperthyroid patients (as opposed to patients receiving thyroid replacement due to hypothyroid)--if you feel good at your dosage and have no hyper symptoms (diarrhea, excessive weight loss, anxiety, heart palpitations). Your weight loss may indicate over replacement, but not necessarily. Two--have you considered reducing the Armour and supplementing with synthetic T4? You could get the benefits of bringing your FT4 levels to a more normal level as well as perhaps getting you out of bed in the morning (personally I have found taking my medication including my small dose of Armour at 5:30-6 am gets me out of bed by 7 am most days). It is quite normal for TSH to be below normal or even suppressed with T3 supplementation. Check this out, print out the associated research articles and show them to your doctor. Maybe she'll change her mind. I wish I was doing as well with my symptom resolutions as you are. Reply |
