I've been battling hypothyroidism for about two years now. Initially, my TSH was in the 100's, and I was put on 50mg of synthroid. Then, after being tested again, my levels came out to:
TSH-3.16
T4-1.13
T3-2.6
reverse T3-310
I went to an osteopath and she put me on compounded T4/T3 to treat my "wilson's syndrome". I have still been feeling ill, and am going in debt since my insurance doesn't cover the services. Is anyone familiar with Wilson's and compounded thyroid? What exactly is compounded thyroid made of and is it reliable? Its not regulated so Im wondering if it has been working for someone out there. Otherwise, I am going to seek a third opinion (that is covered by insurance) and go back to synthroid.
I am starting to lose hope...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
