anyone add T3 to hrt?


Recommended Posts

I'm on prescription TRT 100mg a week.  It's made a big improvement to my overall health, but I continue to have other issues.  I've had my thyroid tested every which way from Sunday many times over the last 3 years. All thyroid values come out fine.  But when I supplement 10mg T3 ED my mood is better, I am not passing out sitting up multiple times a day, my tendons dont hurt and ache, my body doesn't ache and take 45 mins to straighten out when I first wake up etc.. 

 

I get zero sides on 10 mg T3 ed..  I actually sleep better, I sweat less, I don't feel jittery etc..   I've even gone up to 25mcg a day with similar results.  It's UG T3 and I think the batches were dosed differed.  I was on 25mcg T3 and felt "normal" and better.  When I bought new T3 it was dosed at 20mg a tab, but I swear that 20mg was much stronger than the other 25mcg.

 

I've taken T3 like this 2 times over the last 3 years.  I'll take the 10-25 mcg for a couple months and my symptoms go away...  Then I'll stop because I'm under doctors care and they continue to try to figure out whats wrong with me.. Then my symptoms return.  I'm up front with my doctors and a couple were baffled that the T3 does what it does for me.  Other doctors told me "you feel better because T3 is like a pick me up of energy"...  I told them that doesn't explain my tendons and aches going away and they just say it just seems that way because its a pick me up.  

I've been to endocrinologist and a neurologist even.  Both say my thyroid is functioning fine and the T3 was just a pick me up.  But both fail to figure out what causing my symptoms.  Neither seemed to care when I said on 25mcg of T3 I got zero sides and sweated less and slept better lol...    

 

Can 10 mg T3 Ed cause me health issues in the future?   I'm talking life time...  

 

My endocrinologist actually suggested that he would consider sending me to a phsyciatrist to get a low dose T4 prescription because phsyciatrists are now starting to try low dose T4 to treat depression.  He told me I''d only get it if I it helped depression.  I honestly don't have depression but he was suggesting I lie to them I think.   I haven't seen that endo since this appointment though.  He sent me to a neurologist because he thought there's a chance I might have something wrong with my brain.

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to respond as I have some 1st hand experience in this area.

My sister has thyroid issues and has struggled for years as her tests/bloodwork kept coming back without issue. A close friend of mine same deal.

My sister got fed up with being told it wasn't thyroid because the labs kept  coming back ok and this is from 2 different Canadian Labs in Ontario, yet she was convinced thyroid was the issue. My friend had tests done from 2 different Labs as well. She had periodically gotten hold of meds or thyroid, whatever it is yu treat with, I'm not knowledgable in that area, and she would feel better after having some of that but as soon as she ran out, BOOM, back to feeling like shit.

So my sister decides to go down to the US and have bloodwork done there from now a third lab and guess what, the results came back showing a clear problem. She asked them how the F could she have multiple labs and tests ran on multiple occasions and they all came back showing no issue now here is yours showing the exact issue that I believed was in play. Apparently the lab folks said they see this all the time from Canadians and that the most common labs up here, and primarily CML/Lifelabs use shit equipment to run the assays, their policies on site are rubbish and samples are far to often contaminated, or lost/destroyed and instead of saying that they just send results back showing something in the normal range. Now I can't speak to the veracity of this or say it applies to any other tests they do, but that is what she was told regarding the Thyroid stuff. So she decides that this one test wouldn't be enough to sway her doc so she goes and gets another from a different lab in the US and low and behold, same results as the first US lab and now we have 2 US labs vs 2 Canadian labs with the US labs showing completely different results.. She was due for more bloodwork at CML/Lifelabs in Canada, goes and gets it done and wouldn't you know it comes back same as the rest before, showing no issue. So she goes to the lab and waves the US results under their nose and they stuttered and stammered and had all sorts of reasons why this could have happened but given how many tests came back wrong it had to have been pretty much as the US lab described it or how else could it be possible. So CML/Lifelabs "promises to get to the bottom of it" lol, takes more blood and WOW, it's a bloody miracle, now their test results come back same as the US ones!

Their story is that they identified a flaw in the firmware of some such machine or other, ya right, but it's fixed now. Ya ok, I'm sure that's it.

Anyway, finally my sister gets the meds she needs and is way better off.

So once I found this out I told my buddy and said man, scrape up the cash and head to NY and get this shit done. He does and same deal, results show Thyroid issue that previous labs didn't show. He couldn't afford any more testing or trips to the US but he took those labs back to his doc and told the doc everything I told him and got put on meds and was hugely improved as a result.

So this was a couple of years ago and no idea what the state of things is at CML/Lifelabs with this or I think the other lab is "Dyna" or something like that. But in my sister's case she hasn't gotten incorrect labs from CML/Lifelabs ever again, for this issue anyway or anything else that she is aware of.

Sorry for the long story but maybe it's worth trying for you and who knows.

Cheers
