thinking of trying something new
Posted , 5 users are following.
been on thyroxine for 20 years but now weight loss is impossible - i have a trainer and a good diet around 1200 calories net p. day and excercise i do loads. Have reduced to 1000 cals but still no weight loss, tried 5/2 and low carb, no luck.
my THS .83
RT3 398
i have no other symptoms besides a terrible memory - should i try Amour and T3 T4 suppliments. Fearful have a dr. but it seems expensive and risky should i just live with the 20pds?

I was on Armour and it worked on me okay. I am on Liothyroxine only since I can't convert T4 to T3. So I just get T3. However losing weight is super hard. I have lost 30 pounds by walking and moving my heavier meal to lunch and eating lite for dinner. To increase your T3 may help but I would not do it without a doctor's permission on it. A doc once told me no food after 8 p.m. and that is a good idea since it just lays in the body. Another idea is cut out dairy.
increasing thyroid meds can cause the heart to race to high and lead to a heart attack. I hope this helps.

The bio identicals some people swear by them. This is more of "new approach" and it may work for you. Sounds like this doctor has a plan. I think it could work. I know a lady who took the bio-identical estrogen and she had no problems.
Try it and let us all know. Be well, Shelly

I was on Armour and it worked on me but I had trouble getting it at my local Pharmacy. However I am on Cytomel (liothyroinne) and do just fine. My GP figured it out when I took Levo for so long and no changes in TSH level and symptoms were awful. gained weight like crazy, etc...
Glad to hear from you on this topic. XO Shelly
