Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 One cause is too high a dose of thyroid hormone replacement, or you have untreated low adrenal reserve. Another cause can be the presence of systemic candidiasis, or mercury poisoning caused through amalgam fillings. Try taking 500mgs Magnesium and this should help with your heart rate to bring it down. Cutting down your dose will also help. However, get the adrenals/candida/mercury checked and ask your GP to test vitamin B12, vit. D3, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc to see if any are low and if they are, these need supplementing before increasing your thyroid hormone again. Luv - Sheila I'm on 20mcg T3 a day (no NDT) and 14 isocort. My pulse seems to have come down slightly since cutting out the NDT (less than 100 now, before was often over 100). For quite a while now I've been feeling like a pulsing in my head and can 'feel' my heart beat a lot and sometimes in my back. Does anyone know what causes this? Even though my pulse is coming down I can still feel it too much. I had been feeling better on the T3 only, mood had improved but today I've slumped. Have had to lie down halfway through changing the sheets on the bed as physically can't do it. Thanks Hannah No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Thanks your original post was very helpful and I had meant to reply to it. I think you're right, I've only been off all T4 3 days - is that too early to notice a diff? I struggling with the diff between too much T4 and too much T3, I need the T3 to get rid of RT3 but still feel odd, with what feels like hyper symptoms. Did you relate to the pulsing issue as too much T4 Many thanks for your help, everyone is so lovely here Hannah > > > Hi HANNAH sorry my description of T4 toxicosis was proberly not that clear as it was a little while ago . I think this may be what you are feeling as you probarly have quite a bit of T4 in your system still . Nick will know better than me but if this is the case it will make RT3 and will take a little while to get out your system .If i can remember correctly I felt better in a couple of weeks but it takes longer to get rid of the RT3 .Best wishes > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 HI Hannah -the 20T3 you are taking is only equivalent to 100T4 so I don't think you can be hyper . Any T4 you have left in the blood is probably making RT3 which is blocking the receptor cells and stopping the T3 you are taking going in Hence your crashing when making the bed . Give it a couple of weeks and if you are taking no T4 it will have gone . I think it takes longer to unblock all the receptor cells but you should feel better soon .I am reluctant to reduce my NAX as you need good adrenal support when on T3 .We are all different but I am sure you will feel better soon .

T4 levels will have barely changed in 3 days. After a week or so there may be a noticeable reduction in T4 and things like joint ache might ease. You may also find you need less T3 for a few days after a week or so when the T4 levels sink low enough to convert to T3 instead of RT3, it happened that way for me, It takes a full 12 weeks normally from when you stop T4 and go to T3 only for the receptors to clear. You will probably need weekly increases in T3 during that time as the conversion from the residual T4 diminishes. If your adrenals or iron levels are not up to it then you may not be able to tolerate enough T3 to do the job until you get those sorted. There are answers to lots of questions on the Rt3 site if you haven't read through it already Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hi Hannah, probably best to reduce T3 is you are going to increase adrenal support- just in case you go hyper for a bit. At least with T3 you'll pick up fast when you restart. > thyroid treatment > From: juicy7779@...> Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 15:39:22 +0000> Subject: Re: Odd pulsing feeling> > > Thanks Sheila, I'm thinking maybe my adrenals aren't supported enough.
