  • I had a tt last September and take the following : Selenium, Magnesium, B12 (dots) Vitamin D and Iron. Per my doctors recommendation and research that I have done seems those vitamins help T4 conversion to T3. I am prescribed Synthroid and Cytomel. Good Luck!

  • I had a tt 7 months ago due to Hurthle cells, 33 yrs old and I have hashis. I've never heard from anyone else that had hurtle cells, we are rare lol! My weight has not been a problem but I'm so tired and achy when my levels are bad and also suffer from anxiety. I have to force myself to workout sometimes, even though I…

  • I'm familiar with the symptoms and fatigue can be a sign of hyper too. Actually my TSH is really low, my free T4 is normal and my free T3 is really high.

  • I had a tt last September and my last 2 rounds of blood work have come back as hyper. My synthroid was reduced the first time from 100 mcg to 88 mcg and this last time she took away my cytomel. I never thought I would be hyper on a relatively low dose and without a thyroid?

  • I had a tt last September, FNA discovered nodules containing Hurthle cells and I have Hashi's. Post surgery my neck and shoulder area was really sore (they have you in a uncomfortable position during the surgery) and my throat was irritated from the breathing tube but other than that I was fine. I only stayed one night in…

  • Her reasoning was that since Armour is compounded by hand that it could vary by dose and that the synthetic is not and therefore more consistent. Honestly I was so happy to find that my family dr was ok with a natural hormone since I have heard so many stories about drs refusing to prescribe it. Not to mention the local…

  • I had a tt this past September (nodules that contained hurthle cells, hashimotos and a family history of thyroid cancer). I had muscle and joint pain for the first month or so but better now. I now see my family dr and have blood work every 4-6 weeks, current dosage of synthroid is 100 mcg and cytomel 25 mcg taken every…
