Bioident. Hormones, Thyroid and .......

CindyCRNA · 10-27-2009, 02:28 PM

Hi all. I went hypo after starting bioidentical hormones in February. The first 3 weeks of taking Bios, I was running around like I was 20! It was like he put crack in that cream! Then it came to a screeching halt, then my hair started to fall out. I went on 75mcgs of Synthroid and then 25mg a day of Cytomel, split. My hair loss has stopped but I'm still tired and blah, like before bios. My question is if bioident. hormones can bind thyroid, can they also be bind anything else? I have been on the Cytomel for 6 weeks now and feel nothing! New labs in the AM.

Wait on seeing the Free T4 and Free T3 (and if you want to know exactly HOW your body is using the med...you take your dose of Synthroid, and HALF the 25mcg. Cytomel, wait four to five hours and then have the blood drawn. Proof will be in the tests results (make SURE they are doing FREE T4 and FREE T3).
