Have you spoken to a doctor?

By the way, I advise you to fill out your profile; folk are reluctant to resond to your questions if you have an empty profile. It just shows that you really want to be here, so it makes people really want to help. Just a tip!

jvan3,

check out wilsonsyndrome.com it has some information about low thyroid function and some supplements that might help. If you have low t3 then there's not much else to help besides t3 supplementation. I have had the same problem for years. And, if you need the t3, why do you get off? If your blood work shows a need, there is no harm in continuing to take it.
