hypoallergenic T3?

[alfonsina]

Does anybody know a T3 only medicine without fillers? I was added Cytomel and my NT was reduced to 2 grains due to RT3.

So far feeling awful, but I am more concern, despite all the pain and discomfort I am in, about Cytomel causing me allergies. My nose is itching and I have been sneezing. I had a similar episode a couple of years ago and I quit it.

I cannot do compound pharmacy since I have to travel and it is too much trouble.

Any idea about an existent hypoallergenic T3 only medicine?

Thanks!!

It sounds as if you have a hyper immune system & severe adrenal fatigue issues. Have you looked into that? AF causes allergies & intolerance to thyroid meds since they put the brakes on metabolically to save adrenal strength -- most Hashimotos patients are over medicated in place of fixing the root...

It has been more than two years dealing with thyroid medicine and I have not seen significant changes. I feel I am getting worse. if Cytomel does in fact give me side effects (allergies) I think there is nothing my doctor can do. He has been great. However my body is not cooperating. Thanks for the good wishes though.

Don't give up too quickly.  I recall seeing somewhere that Cytomel is the only thyroid med without any side effects.

I am taking Cytomel the brand. The pharmacist gave me generic without even asking, but as soon as I realized I called him and change to the brand.

I increased my Cytomel dose today, if I start to have worse allergenic reactions I will have to drop it. Since I cannot increase my NT or take T4 only medicine due to RT3,  I will talk to my doctor and quit my treatment. It has been a long journey without success, and now that we finally found a cause, it seems I am allergic to Cytomel.

well, thanks.

Are you on the brand cytomel or a generic?  That could make a difference.
