This information is from a presentation by Dr Carole Spencer, who is a past president of the American Thyroid Association. It contains a number of observations, which should ring true with many, many thyroid patients.

I credit PR4NOW from the Thyroid UK Health Unlocked forum for bringing this to my attention. Thank you!!!

The presentation contains two links. One is a presentation PDF and the second is a slide notes PDF.

It is suggested that they are both loaded up side by side on your computer screen and read together.

I was recently asked to write an article about the 'Recovering with T3' book and the circadian T3 method (CT3M) for Swedish thyroid patients.

I have written what I consider to be the best overview I've done so far on 'Recovering with T3' and the CT3M.

This overview should be helpful for those people would like an introduction to my work and want to hear more about the importance of liothyronine (T3) medication and the circadian T3 method. 

Here are two links. The first is to the English version of the article and the second is to the Swedish version.

I recently received this feedback from a thyroid patient:

 .... others may have given you similar feedback about nausea. I started CT3M with a very small dose at about 1½ hours before normal waking time but always became nauseous within a few minutes – and it lasted for several hours after waking. However, I persisted because adrenal supplements made me feel "wired" once I started CT3M so I knew it must be working.

In the 'Recovering with T3' book I repeatedly say that thyroid blood tests cannot be used to manage T3 based thyroid treatment.

However, many thyroid patients often have problems with their family doctor or endocrinologist because of concerns about low FT4 levels.
