• Hello!! Welcome to the STTM DISCUSSION GROUP (Stopping the Thyroid Madness) for those with hypothyroidism, whether it's an autoimmune cause like Hashimoto's, or any non-autoimmune cause. 
  
  We focus on feeling better with any form of T3 in one's treatment, whether with a working NDT (natural desiccated thyroid), or synthetic T4 and T3, or T3 alone. We also talk about iron, B12, Vitamin D, adrenal issues and SO MUCH MORE. Everything is based on this website: https://stopthethyroidmadness.com aka STTM and the books.
  
  For decades, doctors have prescribed T4-only for hypothyroid (Synthroid, Levothyroxine, Eltroxine, etc.) But having T3 in your treatment is FAR superior, say patients. It's the active T3 in an OPTIMAL amount which changes lives, rids you of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, depression, weight again, and fatigue.

DISCLAIMER: We are a patient-to-patient discussion group. Though the moderators attempt to give you solid information from STTM based on two decades of thyroid patient experiences, observations, and wisdom gained, it is NOT to be a substitute for a doctor relationship, or taken as personal medical advice. What you do with the information offered by a moderator is at YOUR OWN RISK and you agree to this by joining.
