[QUOTE="Hendie, post: 215390, member: 34991"] Hi again Fallenstar for me i had conversion problems, i could not convert T4 to the active hormone of T3... either due to low adrenal reserves or low iron at the time or most probably both. I have tried T4 only, then T4/T3 and then i went onto T3 only (which i have to order myself as a private doctor suggested it) VERY few endos are open to T3/T4 and especially not T3 only. If T4 works for you great then stick with it, if it stops working you need to try and find out why whats stopping the conversion and its usually adrenals or iron. I have been on steroids for over a year now (hydrocortisone) and yes i have thought similar to yourself, but the diet/exercise just isnt enough at the moment, so maybe metformin until i can wean off the steroids and then fingers crossed my diabates comes ALOT more under control. If you are interested i can give you a link to a yahoo group im a member of, its for people with underactive thyroids and who are having trouble with their doctors/endo's when T4 only is not working for them.
