Hypothyroidism Support Group
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. Advanced hypothyroidism may cause severe complications, the most serious one of which is...

While I can definitely empathize with the shoddy care you're receiving (I had 4 clueless doctors, 3 of them endos), I caution you about self-medicating.....especially with powerful T3.
After 5+ years of participating on multiple thyroid forums, I am aware of people self-medicating with T3 and they wound up in the hospital.
After a quick review of the site helerown linked, it looks like they only sell 20mcg T3 tabs. That is an insanely large dose!
Also, please know that 37.5mcg of T4 isn't even considered a therapeutic dose.....I suspect you need a higher dose of T4.
Is there any way you could get your GP to run labs and possibly supervise your care?
Even if a doctor is doing things properly, the meds titration process takes easily 6 months and often closer to a year, or longer.
I started my thyroid disease journey with Graves' in 2007, went into remission in 2009 and then joined the 20% of Graves' patients who go hypo after remission in 2010.
I "went thru" 4 thyroid doctors before finding the thyroid-savvy doctor who was caring for me when I went hypo.
At this point, I was already very well-researched and had learned about optimizing levels.
It still took 15 months for my levels to be optimized and another couple of months before all symptoms dissipated. My situation is very, very common.
I am having nightmare with t3 supply me, just wanted to check you are still happy with the site you are using before I waste any more money! Dr recommended the site but had money now for 8 weeks and no T3!
Many thanks
