Hi
I was put on 10 mcgs T3 to help with my cylcing. Before starting T3 I always had normal thyroid levels. My cycling seemed to get better for a month or two. Then, I think my own thyroid completely shut off. I am very tired, chronically constipated, lose tons of hair and cycle alot. And I am having a hell of a time getting an endo appointment...I am hoping maybe in a month or two.Anyway, can that small amount of T3 shut my own thyroid down? I have heard that this is common. But 10 mcgs? Also, I did cut the dose in half and after feeling miserable for about two weeks I felt a little better. But now I feel beyond terrible, depressed, *irritiable*, menstrual periods all out of wack, and very constipated while on a high fiber diet plus metamucil. Nothing helps.
Would stopping the T3 all together help? Or would an endo supplement me with more thyroid??? Any thoughts would be so appreciated.
