cytomel

I am wondering how cytomel may be beneficial to me. I have a friend who has Grave dx. She told me how she had been feeling achey in her joints, tired, never getting enough rest even when doing so, never having any energy. She was perfectly describing me. She started telling me about cytomel and it's effects and how the body uses it as T3. I feel I am missing out, because I am not taking this. Should I be using this in conjunction with my Levoxyl 88mcg?

Science has done a study testing many thyroid patients and the conclusion is, that there is no benefits from taking t3 supplements.  

The benifits comes from the mind and we can get the same mind benifits soley fom  t4 supplement.  That is taking into consideration there is not the rare conversion problem.

Some people say the do well on t3 and other say they did worse.
