Many sincere thanks for your reply.I have every Hypo symptoms in the” book”( 4years now)and have seen a top Endoc. but no help whatsoever.My G.P.(who I believe is very good )out of desperation put me on T3 (20mcg Tertroxine)which made me feel worse.I will be seeing him next week after another blood test and intend asking him again for a script forArmour.It seems obvious to me I am not converting T3 which is why I feel worse.It feels good to share my experience’s with one that understands so thank you and stay well.

I'm so sorry to read that, because of course it affects everything in your body. Natural hormones are always best - or almost; there are a few patients who do better on synthetics. I have to get both T3 and T4 from a compounding pharmacy. Often DOs are more alert to this phenomenon, though my new GP, otherwise very good, couldn't renew my scrip because she doesn't know anything about compounding pharmacies so didn't feel comfortable about it - and I chose her mainly because she's a DO.
