Guest guest Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm currently on 50 mcg of T3. I have gotten up a couple of times in afib. I have added 5 mcg of T3 in the middle of the night. I put it on my night table with a bottle of water. This seems to have helped. I was just about to try an increase in meds when this happened, and I usually only do one thing at a time so I can keep track. I take 10 mcg of T3 5x a day (now also the 5mcg during the night). My question is does anyone think adding some more to one or two of my current doses would hurt or help my heart. I usually feel my heart getting " unstable " (my word) previous to a due dose and especially skips beats if I'm late in taking it. My heart seems to " settle down " (again my words) after I take my dose. Any input would be appreciated. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I think the way you're doing it is probably the way you're going to have to keep doing it. It appears to me that your case is sufficiently non-typical that the typical response probably won't be beneficial. It would probably be of great benefit to you to have a doctor who listens to you AND who will operate somewhat " out of the box " when necessary.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Well, hopefully this doctor, who is my internist agrees that he will oversee my thyroid problems. If he sticks to that I'm all right. Lets pray. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!
