I have celiac, Hashimoto's, and surgery to remove half of my thyroid because of a tumor, among many other autoimmune conditions. I am on Sustain Release T3 medication that has literally enhanced my quality of life and more. With the Sustain Release, I do not have to take some every hour but instead twice a day, which will carry me through the night. Otherwise I would have to get up multiple times to take a pill. Thus get sicker by not getting a good night sleep. T3 compound medication helps me to digest my food, stay wake and to get warm. When I did not have the SR T3, I could barely eat only fruit, otherwise I my digestion would not work. My temperature was between 96.4 to 97 degrees when I did not have SR T3. Since starting SR T3 my temperature is between 98 and 98.6 degrees. And I could sleep all night and all day without SR T3. It is imperative that SR T3 still be available for me. I am also taking compound T4. I have tried the generic T4 medication but have several allergic reactions to it. Since being on the Compound T4 without all the dyes, and extra stuff added, I have no reactions and am thriving with it. And knowing I am able to get these things from a Compound Pharmacy has been life saving. Please do not restrict them.
