Yet more thyroid blather
Today I am trying something different with my meds. I have been
grasping at straws lately, because I have been feeling so awful. on the
thyroid.about site they have a great article on compounded T3/T4. Go
read it if you would like to see the best arguement so far for why we
need T3 as well as T4. http://thyroid.about.com/library/pdf/blmilner1.htm
My doctor told me last spring after my surgery that if I couldn't get my dose to work, we could go to the compounding pharmacy and get a compounded dose. So, since I have noticed my symptoms worsening when I take my dose all at once, I decided to try taking 4 mini doses throughout the day to see fi I can tolerate that better. I thought I would feel realy crappy only taking 30 mg or Armour this morning, but so far I feel fine. If this works, then I will go to the compounder, so I don't have to remember to take all these little pills all the time.
