I have had hypothyroidism for many years and did very well on Unithroid until the last couple of years. I started having severe pain in my hips, ankles, feet, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, etc. I found through labsork I am well below normal on my T3. I’ve been given Cytomel but figuring out the dosage is difficult. I think I’m also having a reaction to the additives or fillers in Cytomel. I can tell my pain subsides with the addition of T3 but I cannot tolerate Cytomel so I’ve been referred to an NP who practices integrative medicine. She tests hormones and I’m hoping she can figure out exactly what I need and make a compound that is time-released pure T3. I can’t believe this has been so difficult to figure out. I don’t think doctors know their specialty like they should. I understand pain is common with hypothyroidism.

If more people knew how to manage their pain there would be less overdoses.
