Sorry to hear you don't have other thyroid med options. I've heard this many times that many do not convert the T4 to T3 in their bodies...the desiccated supports contain both.
At one point I did take the T4 and doc added T3 synthetic, but I found over trial and error I do best with armour types. Look at magnesium to help with your chronic constipation. I went thru nasty constipation for a lot of my life and make sure I get Enough mag, dosing thru the day. Best forms are citrate or glycinate.... |

Hi Caroline  The doctor has me on magnesium (pidolate) and it seems I dont absorb it (blood test showed exact same amount of magnesium before and after taking it daily for 2 months), i will go find some citrate or glycinate and give that a go .I am going to trial T3 in the end of September, hopeful about that! I'll let you know if the magnesium helps! Thank you! |

Just had a thought on your cholesterol...it may be fine for your age. When I was your age, the MD's didn't do any of the labs that are done today. My folks lived into 90's and I don't even recall them ever talking about cholesterol. The major lab testing got really going strong in the 1970's.... I'm 77 and my MD just started looking at the chol issue maybe 10 yrs ago. I have theories on the cholesterol fear anyway.

Yes, this was my blood test before I started hormones, since taking them I took 1 more test and it was 155 which is a very slight increase. I eat a ton of greek yogurt and olive oil, oily fish etc and mostly only avoid processed carbs and fats.
4 years ago my total cholesterol was 170. Friday I had a health check at work (labour law in Portugal requires this every 2 years) and my urine came up positive for hematuria (red blood cells) so Tuesday I am going to re-test. I am hoping this is more information that is useful. So tired of feeling like I am running on empty. Thank you for your time!
