[QUOTE="tropicaldaze1950, post: 187295, member: 13651"] Which medication, leyothyroxine, liothyronine or desiccated? The big IF in this is that doctors who judge 'success' by labs only could be shortchanging patients by dosing according to those labs, not symptoms or how the patient is feeling or functioning. I've read this for years. And the doctor I'm consulting with is one of the pioneers in using high dose liothyronine for mood disorders. He writes that labs don't reveal cellular resistance to thyroid hormone. If the patient has psych and/or physical symptoms, even if previous labs look 'good', likely, hormone resistance. Most endocrinologists are useless. They're by the book and don't want to look beyond what they've learned in their training and even if they treat, it's conservative. Not helping that patient. Maybe your thyroid dose is fine and there might some other issues but it's worth exploring the possibility that your dose is okay for labs only. One more possibility which I've read about; parathyroid gland malfunction. Two major issues;sleep problems and sexual dysfunction in men and women. Again, most doctors NEVER order a lab for PTH level. It's not even on their radar. Research all that I've discussed. It's better if you read up on those topics. I'm just another soul in search of a path that will lead to restoring my health and life. [/QUOTE]
