In 2014 my thyroid went haywire. I had developed a toxic nodule that caused my thyroid to become overactive. There are a litany of symptoms that go along with this condition and it makes one miserable. Once diagnosed, on the recommendation of an Endocrinologist, my thyroid was treated with radioactive iodine, rendering me hypothyroid for the remainder of my life. Thyroid medications were prescribed and helped some of the symptoms, but I still felt awful. My doctor prescribed a compounded, time released Liothyronine (T3) medication, to go along with my other thyroid medications, and within 30 days I was feeling better. Within 60 days I was myself again. It would be tragic if our government restricted use of these kinds of medications. My doctor also prescribed compounded B12 injections due to a deficiency, a condition that a supplement didn't help.
