You're most likely on Synthroid (levoxyl) correct? Synthroid is synthetic T4 and only replaces one thyroid hormone. If your thyroid can't convert it to T3 it's not going to make a damn bit of difference. Are you getting your T3, FT3, FT4 and RT3 tested? <br /><br />Do not go off TSH alone. You should be getting them all tested and add in T3 through cytomel or natural dessicated thyroid. <br /><br />You need to educate yourself and be your own advocate because a lot of doctors still insist on going only on TSH and prescribing T4. <br /><br />Visit the Stop the Thyroid Madness website and get educated on this. You're going to drive yourself crazy blaming yourself.SFHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13476452509810626867noreply@blogger.com
