> I'd be curious to hear if changing thyroid meds does anything for you. I've been on just Synthroid forever.
>Snoozy, I'm on levoxothyrine generic synthroid, but most of the symptoms that bother me at this point may be thyroid related. (Mostly, trouble concentrating, memory troubles, brain foggy stuff.)
Thyroid Info prints an abstract of a New England Journal Of Medicine Article here: http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/t3drugsnejm.htm; which shows that many people experience better cognition and mood on T3(cytomel or in armour) in addition to T4 (synthroid). So hopefully my dr. will be open-minded about it; he may help as he's fearful that I'll become diabetic, and t3 _may_ help one lose weight.
Thx for the support. Yeah, I'll try prescriptions again if I must, but I want to see if I can get everything else in shape too.
p.s. I read a medical study on women with ocd a few years ago; the test concluded that female ocd _may_ be related to low or low normal thyroid (hypothyroidism). Interesting, hmm?
