Comments on: Yes, Dr. Walsh of Australia, patients were right about T4-only therapy. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/2008/11/19/dr-walsh/ Not just another Thyroid site Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:14:04 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Irene Leavell http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/2008/11/19/dr-walsh/comment-page-1/#comment-33286 Irene Leavell Sat, 07 Mar 2009 07:07:31 +0000 http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/?p=729#comment-33286 I am impressed with the thoroughness of your website. I want to thank you for your time and effort in creating this forum for people to come together to connect the dots. I, like many of you, have bounced from Dr. to Dr. and medication to medication, some against my will. I have come to realize that we are our own best advocate and if we do not stand up for what we known to be true.....how we feel... and not numbers on some lab report, we will be the victim of good intending doctors with misinformation. The best advice I have read thus far.....become informed and then work the plan! I am impressed with the thoroughness of your website.

It was great to know that I am not the only woman who is having trouble. I have Hashimoto disease and it took 57 vials of blood before they found it. Another thing that has happened due to my disease is my arteries are blocking as the thyroid system is not doing it's job correctly. I was first told there was no relationship between to the two, but recently a young registra new that thyroid disease can lead to cardio vasucular disease. Keep up the good work. So many women need your website. Jen Hi,

(from Janie: Louise sent a link to another study in 2003 that Walsh participated in with other researchers. They concluded that "in the doses used in this study, combined T4/T3 treatment does not improve well-being, cognitive function, or quality of life compared with T4 alone." Well of course!! The participants weren't given enough, and the researchers didn't recognize that the observed "anxiety and nausea" was due to undiagnosed and untreated adrenal fatigue! Thanks, Louise, for sending that.) http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/88/10/4543
