Well today I have my 8month review of being on t3. I must say I don't know how I can cope without it now. It's made so much difference to my life. It's not been the wonder drug I thought it might, but the subtle changes it's made to my body has made me sure I've had a problem.
I'm less stressed, and I've had a few rubbish months which, I'll try to update you on later. I know before this would have sent me spiralling down.
I have a more relaxed approach to things, less anxious, stopped biting my nails for the first time in life, they are even long and feminine!
But one of the astonishing things is my hair is thicker, and growing properly!
My periods did come back for a few months, but now vanished again. Which is perplexing but amongst the other health problems I'm now facing, it may be caused by that.
The other symptoms I've not been determine an effect are, muscle and joint pain, weight problems (I've put on weight) and heating issues (definitely warmer, but this could be caused by excess weight).
I've recently noticed I am fine on the dose of 20mcg, but that's because I've added in supplements. Vit D, magnesium with vit b, chromium and kelp (iodine). I think this also means in the future I may not need t3 at all. It just needed to boost my system for a while. Hopefully once by body is properly right I can help it with supplements alone.
But for now I know I need it, so fingers crossed the doctor is willing to see that.
