Cytomel (T3)
Andrew Bodkins, LA:
During the three years after I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism I have been using many different medications. But only Cytomel produced the result I was waiting for. I am not completely symptom free but the changes are amazing! I have no more horrible sweating and hair loss. The fatigue that used to poison my entire file is gone! And I'm no longer that depressed; now I enjoy life and have hope for the better. This medication is a real blessing for people with abnormal activity of the thyroid gland. I'm extremely grateful to my endocrinologist who has put me on Cytomel, this was the dramatic change that brought me back hope and pleasure in life!
Alexis S., Charlotte:
I have had hypothyroidism for about 10 years. I have been taking medications to control hypothyroidism and my levels were moderate but I was suffering from the symptoms greatly. I told my doctor about that and he added Cytomel to the list of my medications. Now everything is next to perfect. No extreme fatigue, my legs are no longer swollen and I have much more energy what is extremely important for me! Oh, almost forgot, my insomnia has gone. It used to exhaust my body and my nervous system, I was aggressive and bad-tempered and now I can sleep fairly well and feel myself renewed. However, at the beginning of Cytomel treatment my heart rate sped up considerably but after about one week my body adjusted and now I have no more side effects. Cytomel has worked wonderfully in treating my hypothyroidism.
Brenda Miles, Boston:
I have had hypothyroidism for many years but I never felt myself better than when on Cytomel. Love this medication. I am in my fifties now but I don't consider it to be the right age to feel constantly tired and exhausted. I used to stay awake for nights, felt fatigue and apathy. I am an active person, I love to work and have fun. On weekends all my family gathers and I enjoy cooking dinner for them and playing with my grandchildren. But hypothyroidism wouldn't let me feel all this joy, because I can barely move, so sluggish and depressed I feel. And that sweating... uncontrollable, unpredictable, as if you have been running for 20 munites. Besides I started losing my hair, can you imagine? A woman of my age that is used to look good and catch interested glances and suddenly getting bold! That was like "God damn! What the hell!" I told my endocrinologist that probably I needed another medication and he put me on Cytomel. What is amazing, I got immediate results. My hypothyroidism symptoms are gone. I feel like a superwoman now in comparison to what was observed before. I give Cytomel a 10!
