https://paulrobinsonthyroid.com is Paul Robinson’s new website.
The new website completely replaces http://recoveringwitht3.com (which no longer exists). All the main URLs for the old website will still work though.
The main URLs that have been mapped include the overall http://recoveringwitht3.com, the book pages for the three books, all the individual blog post links, and the success stories.
This means any of you, or any groups or forums, that use any of the main old website URLs, or have bookmarked them will find that they still work (you do not have to discard them immediately, although gradually transitioning to the correct URLs makes sense).
The advantages of doing this will be obvious as you browse the new website:
- The new website is very easy to see and use on all viewing devices – TVs, Laptops, Tablets, Mobile Phones, etc.
- The new website is fast to load and to use.
- It is far more powerful with well organised categories and tags for the blog posts.
- It also has no security issues (it is https secure).
- It is Google friendly with lots of graphics. This latter point means that more people around the world will find the new website through Google searches. More people will find the books and discover how to recover from hypothyroidism as fast as possible.
- It provides more information about my books and work than the old site and makes it easier to locate this information.
- The website is built on WordPress which means it will have a very extended life and can develop over time, as much as I need it to do.
- It will help me to assist more thyroid patients and continue to do so.
- I think you will enjoy using it!
I was going to provide a video doing a short website tour of https://paulrobinsonthyroid.com but I think it is so easy to use that this is unnecessary.
The new website is consistent in its design with my other social media pages
From now on my Youtube channel, Books Facebook Page will all have similar visual qualities. This will make it easier for everyone to know that they are on one of my pages.
I hope that you enjoy the new site. It has been a LOT of work but I believe it has been worth it.

Great to see the new website go live Paul! Look forward to seeing more great content in the future. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Dan,
It has involved a lot of hard work, but hopefully, it will be worth it!
Thyroid patients need great resources.
Thank you for your contribution towards this, It was great working with you!
Best wishes,
Paul
Paul, your books and website have been such a great help to me in dealing with Hashimoto’s & hypocortisolism. I’ve bought your books for my several medical providers and sent them to many of my hypothyroid friends.
This practical science, from your own journey of discovery, is not presented anywhere else.
I’ll be referring many friends here. The new website looks beautiful!
CJ, Thank you so much for your very kind comments. It has been a lot of work but the net result is a fast, user-friendly, mobile phone-friendly site that is also https secure. Hopefully, it will allow Google to enable more thyroid patients who need good resources to find it.
The old recoveringwitht3.com site now has most of the important URLs mapped automatically to their equivalents on the new site (but clearing the browser caches may be necessary before this works on the person’s computer – very easy to do).
Best wishes,
Paul
Dear Paul
After going through 10 years of hell going through the aftermath of a TT and RAI for cancer, I am finally getting my life back.
I have been virtually immobile, full of pain and had severe cognitive deficit. I’ve tried, under the supervision of my oncologist, every Med and dose, including T3. I didn’t do well on this in spite of having done well on the 60 mcg a day they gave me post TT. I believe the subsequent attempts to dose me with T3 we’re due to not titrating and moving too fast.
My use of T3 has not been helped by some mythical tales on another forum. eg. You must take all your T3 in one dose, you must take a mega dose ……… and so on
For some reason I have no tolerance of Levothyroxine or T4 in NDT. Once T4 climbs in NDT I feel the same illness that I feel on combi T3/4 or Levo alone. I do have conversion issues but they are not as apparent in NDT.
8 weeks ago, with the help of your website and some sensible people from the other forum, I began a slow titration of T3 at the same time as wasting out the T4. I am now on 40 mcg and feel good – pain gone from my legs, fatigue diminishing, cognitive deficit disappearing.
I’ve been dosing 20 mcg at about 7 am and again at 8 pm. Therein lies the rub. At about 3 pm I go down – tired, nodding off etc. I have the second pill at about 7 pm. The next day I repeat the same scenario, knowing that
something is wrong.
I want to move up to 45 mcg and then, dependent on response
I read your blog and decide that not multi dosing is the answer – that Dr Lowe will not turn in his grave if I do this.
So, tomorrow is Day 1 of multi dosing. I use 20 mcg tablets and keep some 25 mcg for when that’s useful.
I thought I might dose like this:
Early morning 20 mcg
3 pm. 12.5 mcg
8 pm. 10 mcg
Bedtime. 5 mcg
It seems to me to make sense to take the largest dose in the morning and to decrease to 5 mcg at bedtime.
I don’t know whether you have an opinion Paul – I know everyone is unique.
I also feel a bit more confident now that I know I can exceed the top of range for F3. Simply because there is not a range as such for FT only. I understand it is measured by how one feels. I may have to jiggle around my test times.
Can I thank you for your wonderful information which I accessed far too late. The forum I have been using have a wealth of knowledge and members are supported wonderfully. That said I feel that I get confused by diversity and sometimes inaccuracy of information.
Kind regards
Maureen
Maureen, you asked the same question on another blog post and I fully answered it there.
The post was: https://paulrobinsonthyroid.com/t3-liothyronine-only-treatment-how-to-use-symptoms-signs-instead-of-thyroid-blood-tests/
Best not to ask the same question on more than one blog post – it just gets confusing for me. Thanks.
Also, I think you the above text you meant to say, “I read your blog and decide that multi dosing is the answer” i.e. without the ‘not’.
John wouldn’t turn in his grave either. We kind of agreed to disagree on the multi-dose vs single-dose and he was fine with that and accepted that I had tried single dosing and that if it didn’t work then it just didn’t work. John was open to both approaches – like I am. Whatever works is fine. The goal is to get healthy! End of.
John wouldn’t have written the foreword for my ‘Recovering with T3’ book if he had a big issue with multi-dosing. He was going to promote it a lot also but his tragic accident stopped that from happening.
Best wishes, Paul
Oh Paul. I’m really sorry for the duplication
No worries Maureen, I just got confused as to why you’d asked more or less the same question again. It took me a while to realise that they were on two different blog posts. Hopefully, my answer on this blog post is enough. If it isn’t then ask more but under the same one:https://paulrobinsonthyroid.com/t3-liothyronine-only-treatment-how-to-use-symptoms-signs-instead-of-thyroid-blood-tests/
Best, Paul
After a left thyroid lobectomy 2 years ago at 62 to remove a nodule with papillary carcinoma, I quickly became hypothyroid and was prescribed 75 mcg Synthroid. After 1.5 years, the fatigue, weight gain and disturbing sensations of heart palpitations and what I call “jitters” (vibratory sensations all over), were horrifying to me and, of course, my endo said my TSH and I were just fine. I paid out of pocket to get a full thyroid lab panel done elsewhere and found, not too surprisingly, that my T3 was too low and my RT3 too high. I convinced my endocrinologist to lower my T4 to 50 mcg and let me start trying to use a couple doses of liothyronine, 5 mcg. But he’s clearly not willing to take responsibility for me using any more T3–like I’m going to drop dead from sudden cardiac arrhythmia or something! (No, I have no cardiac problems!) I’m now paying even more to an “integrative physician” who recommended more T4 (75 mcg) and a sustained release T3 (20 mcg) from a compounding pharmacy. Was totally unable to sleep for the first week or so and called him in a panic suggesting that I cut the 75 mcg tablet in half and add in 10 mcg of regular T3 in the evening, since the srT3 seemed to be wearing off by evening, leaving me with hypothyroid symptoms all night long. He agreed with the idea, and it does seem better. What is your opinion of srT3? It clearly is not sustained for more than 12 hours…maybe even less. How would I transition to just using the normal liothyronine and optimizing it? I have your orange book and found it helpful. Thank you for your hard work…you’ve helped a lot of people!
Hi Laura, I would read the Recovering with T3 book. It has a full protocol for using standard T3. Multi-dosing with 3 doses (they may not all be of the same size and timing is important too – see the book) is the best way to do it.
My views on slow-release T3 are contained within this blog post:
https://paulrobinsonthyroid.com/slow-release-versus-standard-t3-for-thyroid-patient-treatment/
I’d just pick a starting T3 dose and just swap over on one day. Better to start low rather than high.
I’m glad you’ve found a more supportive physician.
Best wishes, Paul
Paul, or others, this is a voice of desperation!! I know, Paul, that you’ll probably never read this comment due to your numbers and fame…. but I’m desperate to help my wife!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your book, Recovering with T3, is unbelievably felt! Her health, our relationship (almost unsalvagable), are still the reason I’m up at midnight trying to figure out this fuXXng stuff. I’m not a doctor, but I’ve read more than most. I don’t expect any support or help, but I am praying (and working my ass off) for a miracle!!
Thanks … anyone …. for your help, prayers, response,…….. whatever might help……
Warren wpeterson2018@gmail.com
Warren, I am so sorry that your wife is in a desperate situation.
Please send me an email to paulrobinsonthyroid@gmail.com
I am not sure if I can help at all but you can email me.
Best wishes, Paul
p.s. I don’t consider myself the slightest bit famous either.
I’m just another thyroid patient who felt they had to write about things in order to help people.
How do you find drs. that are willing to use your protocol? I am having trouble finding anyone in Colorado.
They act as if I’m crazy.
Hi Mary,
The answer is that you don’t restrict yourself to doctors in Colorado.
You either use a functional medicine doctor like Dr Amie Hornaman (see:https://betterlifedoctor.com/pages/book-a-call), or Defy Medical, or find one in the institute of functional medicine: https://www.ifm.org/
OR
You read my books and try to do it yourself once you’ve accessed the extra T3 you may need.
Many people manage my protocol far better on their own. So many doctors have dogmatic ideas and have no clue as to how to use T3.
I hope this helps a little.
Best wishes, Paul
Thank you. I have read one of your books and I agree that it would be easier to manage it on my own. How do you get the T3 that you need to begin the process? Thanks again and happy holidays!
Mary
I don’t put such information on public sites Mary. It is bad for the companies that do help people as they could get hassle.
You can contact me using the Contact button near the bottom of the homepage of this site.
You would need to use a non-electric thermometer and decent home BP meter (like Omron) to help manage dosing – see the Recovering with T3 book for the T3 protocol.
Best wishes, Paul
Yes, that’s the book I have. Thank you!
Mary
