Hypothyroidism is the disease state caused by insufficient production of thyrohormone by the thyroid gland. There are several distinct causes for chronic hypothyroidism, the most common being Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism following radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism.

to 20 mcg this morning..... I am feeling like a huge hand in the form of a virtual stop sign has been removed from the front of my body.
I have so much more energy that I don't know what to do with myself!
Can't go to the gym today because of a scheduling conflict, but I am so excited that this seems to be working!
Maybe now I can look for a new job that actually has real health insurance???
Ok, ok... NOT SO FAST! LOL
If anyone is in the metro NYC area, I have been working with a wonderful compounding pharmacist called Irmat Pharmacy at 2 Park Avenue. The slow-release is formulated just for me and it makes a big difference. No more cutting the pill in half, forgetting to take it, being unable to take it at the right time....

I have been really active all my life, so for MOST of it, I have been swimming or running or on the elliptical or the treadmill along with heavy weights.
In the recent months, I would get back up to my prior maximum levels and then become completely wiped out by it for at least a week after. So frustrating!

Have a great weekend, Everyone! xoxoxo
The slow release desiccated T3 wont work for me due to the Gel used to keep it from breaking down quickly and my stomach issues :-(
I am a kosher vegetarian, so nooooo "dessicated" for me.
The one time my doctor put me on bovine adrenal supplements (I was at the end of my rope before I discovered powdered licorice root) I cried and cried and cried for hours.... and then I threw the crap in the garbage.
Mind you - my subsequent research showed that the supplements the doctor prescribed actually have the effect of lowering cortisol, which is 100% exactly the opposite of what I need.
:O
Perhaps yours has access to cytomel and grinds it up and does the same.
Maybe just ring the pharmacy and ask them the process on how they produce it. Would be interesting to hear. My country is so far behind with thyroid meds and treatment.
Great news!
