  • 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 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 like the group "Thyroid Sexy" too! She has lots of good info!
  • 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…
