“My sleeping problems are gone” – Jacquie
…I was put on T3 therapy a couple of months ago. My sleeping problems are gone. I love waking in the morning feeling refreshed. It has given me a whole new outlook. Not to mention my cold intolerance disappearing. This winter should be a whole lot different for me. Being in Michigan this is a god send. I wish I could tell you what just these two improvements have done for my life.
Best wishes.
My latest TSH was 6.43. I’ve been on levothyroxine for 30 years. My dr diagnosed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis about 10 years ago. TSH levels keep changing > med dosages are up & down.
My symptoms are progressively worse with now chronic constipation, insomnia, lack of motivation(haven’t worked for 15 years now but I really want to), terrible indigestion, not able to handle pressure anymore, 25 I lbs extra weight that I can get rid of, extreme feelings of cold and hot, weak ankles, wrist pain, headaches, hemangiomas on my liver, nausea, osteopenia, scoliosis, facial pain & horrible bad breath. I have started taking the body basal temperature & 2 readings have showed 36.1 and 36.2. I will see if these readings increase once I’m on the 0.1 mg thyroid med a few months but honestly I don’t expect much change as my symptoms never seem to improve. I believe I might be a candidate for natural dedicated thyroid meds and T3 hormone med. my dr refuses to check my T3 or reverse T3…..only checks the TSH. I’ve been on this up & down roller coaster for 30 years; I want to get off. Please advise. Thank you. Jennifer
As long as a person’s temperature remains low I would not expect them to feel better. Many people benefit from sustained-release T3 alone when T4 doesn’t help.
