“I am able to see the sunshine now…”

I just wanted to THANK YOU for all your hard work in discovering this syndrome and its treatment! I feel like I am able to see the sunshine now when before there were only clouds. I am about 70-85% normal when before I would say I was functioning at about 40 or 50%. It is like my body is waking up after a long, long time of just wanting to sleep all day and not being able to sleep at night, misery, pain, etc….. I have more energy, I am less achy, I sleep better and I would say the depression is gone!

Anyone who is thinking about doing the WT3 protocol and has a low temperature, it is worth it!! I have gotten my life back little by little. And to those who are unsure if they want to stick with it, DO! It took me a while to get stabilized, but when you get there it is so worth it.

T3 Therapy: I am happy, it is like a miracle

I started T3 therapy about three months ago after suffering from “thyroid problems” for 3 years. I had been told by countless docs that my thyroid levels were “fine”, and therefore I felt fine. Every doc I saw referred me to a psychiatrist. Initially I went. I explained I had thyroid trouble but was taking Synthroid. Psychiatrist said (after 8 minutes), “You are depressed. Prozac will get you running again. Here’s your prescription, that will be $150, pay the receptionist on the way out.” I quit Prozac after a year.

I read about T3 after searching the internet and some news groups. I started looking for a Dr. who would simply work with me on trying T3 (Liothyronine). All said no. “Blood levels ok, on Synthroid, then no probs with thyroid, see a psychiatrist.” Success started when out of frustration I got in an argument with an endocrinologist over the phone. She broke down and told me of an “alternative medicine” person, “But I don’t recommend her,” she said. The alternative medicine person was going to Europe to study, but referred me to a doctor in Greenville, PA named Roy Kerry. I immediately made an appointment. They sent me a ton of papers with data to collect. After some tests and a second visit, I received my first batch of T3. I immediately felt better, have felt better ever since. I have lost weight, no more aches and pains, I am happy, it is like a miracle.

I have told everyone about Dr. Kerry, and I have probably increased his clientele 4 fold. This is the best thing to happen to me in years.

The word has to be put out to regular doctors in some fashion that they will respect. Being a government (system) person myself, I understand how a system like medicine will not look at something that they can find even the slightest flaw with. If even one dr. had been willing to work with me and just “try”, “experiment”, “titrate”, whatever it would be called to make doctors happy, I could have had an improved three years of my life.
