Peripheral Tissue Thyroid Hormone Resistance

This is what I have.  I take a VERY large dose of T3--100mcg, plus 120mg (2 Grains) of Armour thyroid for a total of 118mcg of T3.  This is a large enough to KILL, or at least cause a lot of harm, to a normal person.  For me this dose is required to keep me alive.  If I don't get it I will drown in Cholesterol (over 400), my body temperature will plummet into a severely sub-normal range (94.6) and I will get severe headaches and various very disabling body aches and pains.  Death from Heart Attack or Stoke will be next.


The information about my condition has been well documented.  It is in both Pharmacy Computer Systems and Hospital Computer Systems. There are many books written about it and it's all over the Internet. There is NO excuse not to know about this if you are a Doctor.  I know because I have checked.  


In my opinion there is NO reason any Doctor should dispute my treatment since it Reversed Coronary Artery Disease, Diabetes and Obesity.  Furthermore, I have been on these high doses for over 4 years. I would be long dead if it wasn't the right treatment.  


What should I do if a Doctor in charge of my care at a Nursing Home refuses to give me my medicine and we have the records to prove he didn't? He literally interfered with my ability to live and has done serious damage to my body's ability to function.  However, they gave me something, it had to be a placebo. So, my question is; did they charge Medicare for the full price of a drug the didn't give me?  What should I do to have this facility investigated?


My Cardiac health and Cholesterol have been perfect for 4 years. Suddenly they are not. We have records from 2 sources to prove my Cardiac and Cholesterol health before I went into the Nursing Home.

Armour Thyroid Dosing -- TWICE a day.

I have been in a rehab facility for about 7 weeks now and I have had numerous issues with this facility about my Thyroid regiment.  First they decided I was taking too much and tried to change my dosages using the standard TSH and T4 tests.  Then they told me there is no such thing as taking Thyroid Hormones twice a day!  They literally threatened me with the idea that they could lose their license if they allowed me to take my thyroid twice a day!  


Recently on September 1^st the nurse woke me up at 6:00 AM to take my Thyroid because someone had decided that I should take it before meals.  They didn’t consult with me first they just went ahead and made the changes and thoroughly pissed me off!  I sleep very irregularly due to chronic low back pain, so waking me up is very risky business!  So, pay close attention to the dosing instructions for Armour and Cytomel below.

I am going to try and clear up some of the confusion about Thyroid protocol, at least the protocol that I am on. I am going to condense some information from Dr. Mercola’s discussion about Armour thyroid and Cytomel (T3) and add a link to his web page so

you can read all of it.

From Dr. Mercola’s webpage on Armour thyroid:

“Armour Thyroid Dosing -- TWICE a day."

“Taking the Armour thyroid twice a day overcomes traditional medicine's major objection and resistance to using natural thyroid preparations - its variability in its blood-levels. Most doctors using Armour thyroid are not aware that Armour thyroid should be used twice daily and NOT once a day. The major reason is that the T3 component (of Armour) has such a short half life and needs to be taken twice daily to achieve consistent blood levels.” ~~ Take “Cytomel (pure-T3, and Armour which contains T3) after breakfast and supper daily,”

I really hope the medical profession gets on board with the new facts emerging about testing and treating Thyroid conditions—especially Hypothyroidism!
