I have noticed more energy (after taking ThyroCare) and am able to sleep better. The next time I go to the doctor, I will ask for blood work to be done to see if my antibodies have gone down. Your website is very easy to browse through. I still have some symptoms, but I know it'll take time for them all to go away. The fact that I have more energy helps out a lot. Ellen

I have been taking the natural supplement, ThyroCare, three times a day for 23 days. I am really starting to feel the difference by having more energy and getting more restful sleep. I don't feel so groggy all day and can focus better on tasks at work and home that require concentration. Thank you, Pam G.

I have noticed major improvements. After 3 cycles, I captured my temp. I finally have my energy back, & can start and finish projects like I used to before I had children. I no longer feel like I'm walking around in a haze or talking to people with an echo in my head. It felt like my ears were constantly plugged. I also had a constant ringing in my ears. I just couldn't concentrate or focus on what I was doing. By the time my husband came home at night, I would be exhausted & just want to sleep. Unfortunately, I kept on waking up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep for hours. Now, I have energy. My husband is thrilled with the amount of things I can accomplish during the day and that I still have energy to devote time to him. I am thrilled that my mom told me about Wilson's Low Temperature Syndrome and even more thrilled that there was a doctor near me that treats the syndrome. Thank You. Wendy

I am a 51 year old female on the T3 therapy. I am currently taking 345 mcg every 12 hours. My water retention is getting worse. I have just reached a 98.6 degree body temperature. My doctor has me on 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide. But it doesn't seem to be helping. My clothes are getting tighter on a daily basis. I'm really discouraged. My doctor is aware of my current status but isn't really helping me with the water retention. What should I do? Thank you for your comments, any direction will be greatly appreciated! Ann

Dear Ann, Fluid retention is the most common side effect of T3 therapy. T3 has a short half life, which means it doesn't last in the body for very long. Once a dose is taken, 50% of that dose is gone within 2.5 days, but enough of it is gone within a few hours that the body can tell the difference. That's why we recommend that the T3 be given in sustained release form so that a little is released over time in order to mimic, as closely as possible, how the body delivers T3 normally. The body delivers T3 more steadily than can be achieved by sustained release medicine (even when the T3 is taken exactly on time). And when a person starts taking T3 medicine, the body begins to make less in compensation. Therefore, the more T3 people take, the more unsteady their T3 levels tend to become. Some people that experience fluid retention on the T3 therapy are able to reduce their fluid retention by taking the T3 more perfectly on time, to the minute. Others tend to experience less T3 when they cycle off the T3 and then cycle back on and are fortunate enough to need less medicine on a subsequent cycle. Though there are some doctors that are comfortable using much higher dosages, the Doctor's Manual lists 90mcg BID as the usual maximum dose (or maybe 112.5 mcg in some cases), and many practitioners are comfortable with 75mcg or less BID as a maximum dose. That's not to say that the dose you indicate that you're on is necessarily wrong, it's to say that many doctors would not be comfortable with that high of a dose. But it does seem that the more T3 people are taking, the greater the chances of unsteady T3 levels and the greater the chances of fluid retention. Nevertheless, some people experience fluid retention while on T3 therapy even when on small doses, and even when the medicine is taken exactly on time. This fluid retention usually goes away when the people wean off the T3. If the fluid retention is not tolerable or acceptable, people can wean off the T3 and consider trying ThyroCare or Thyroid Px instead. Warm wishes for a great New Year! Denis Wilson, MD

A while back I came across your website talking about Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. I've heard about hypothyroidism and its devastating effects on people physically, psychologically and emotionally back in '04 from a young lady in the "Spasmodic Dysphonia" chatroom. I was looking for answers to my S. D. syndrome, that started giving me problems with my speech in 1980, when I happened to come across a posted letter that said: SD/Thyroid Connection. I started getting goose-bumps when I read that she had SD and just like myself, she could not complete words out, could not link words together and could not even say her name. Then she went on by saying, that about a year and a half into this experience she discovered, that she was hypothyroid. Again just like myself, in addition to her vocal problem, she was experiencing low body temperature, brittle hair and nails and reduced immune function. Her hair was falling out and she felt cold all the time. Her test results just like mine, were mostly normal, but she was able to convince her physician to treat her regardless of her test results. So first they put her on Synthroid to which she had adverse reaction, then they wanted her to try Armour thyroid, which she tolerated slightly better, but still had horrible side effects. Then they started treating her with T3. He told her that her thyroid problem had nothing to do with SD, but he agreed to treat her. Within a month and a half after reaching the right dose, her vocal problems began to resolve and after a couple of months her voice was completely normal. She's taking 120 micrograms of T3 twice daily. Her doctor was amazed, that her vocal problems resolved due to this treatment. He has agreed to gather information to document other SD patients who eventually have success stories similar to hers. She said if there truly is a thyroid connection to SD and that other people can benefit from it, she feels responsible to spread the word. I'm not saying, that this is what troubles me too, but there is a good possibility that it is. Have you ever heard of this SD/ thyroid connection?...I'd be curious to hear your opinion. Sincerely, Joseph R.

Dear Joseph,
I haven't seen or not seen an SD / thyroid connection. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if many people with SD and low temperatures improved with temperature normalization. I have seen low body temperatures have tremendous bearing on all sorts of personality, emotional, and mental or cognitive functioning. Temperature patterns can certainly affect mental functioning on a variety of levels.
When symptoms come on together they are more likely related. And if they come on or worsen together, particularly after a stress, that is particularly suggestive.
For instance, you mentioned, brittle hair and nails, hair loss, feeling cold all the time, reduced immune function. If these symptoms came on at the same time as the SD, and they all came on together with the low body temperatures, then there's an excellent chance they'll improve together with normalization of body temperatures. In fact, that is the criterion I've used for including the symptoms I've included in the books and website on WTS. I've seen these symptoms come on together and go away together with temperature changes. And I've also seen that not everyone gets the same symptoms. Some people's bodies respond to low body temperatures in fairly unusual and unique ways.
Good Luck for a great year ahead!
Denis Wilson, MD

I've been on thyroid meds for over 20 years & did ok as long as I exercised alot & was a healthy eater. After having a hysterectomy my problems got very bad. I was on HRT but came off. I have gained alot of weight, lost muscle tone, can't sleep at night, etc. The complaints are every one of them on the list. I went on bioidenticals & lost some of the weight but still felt horrible. I am now losing my hair. I go to doctor after doctor & am ready to give up.

I would definitely recommend not giving up. Everything is easy when you know how, and there's always an answer, it's just a matter of finding it. I've seen it so many times, you think you'll never find your answer, and then Bam! Two weeks later you'll wonder why you ever struggled in the first place because the answer was so simple and obvious. Low body temperatures can definitely be like that. As long as thyroid patients (and other people) have low body temperatures, there is no reason to expect that they will feel well. But people have every reason to expect that normalizing a low temperature can make a profound difference in the way their bodies function.
Best wishes for a wonderful New Year ahead!
