Thyroid Update

I have been on T3 only since May 1st.(RAI done 10/08. I added iron, B12, and Vit.D. I stopped my water pill, synthroid, and wellbutrin.
I am really feeling like a different person, unbelieveable the difference! Blood pressure is 110/74! I always had high blood pressure!

The Dr. had me on the synthroid and cytomel, and the other prescriptions, so I was quite nervous to go and tell them what I have been up to and that I stopped all my prescriptions.

Well, they didn't recieve my blood work results, but I confessed everything, told them I will not take synthroid ever again, and if I need to add T4, I wanted to go on NDT. She said to me that when they get the results, we will see where to go from there.

Tonight the nurse from the office called, and told me my results are in perfect range!!! I was so excited! Then she told me she was hypothyroid and on synthroid and didn't feel well herself. So I explained everything I have learned and what I was doing. Maybe this will help the whole practice to see things differently.
