Re: What do you make of this Val?

[Guest guest]

Val,

Please check the post before this one. I don't see a place to edit

or I would have added this to that one. Just took 3:00 temp and it

was 99.3. Pulse is 102

I dropped to 75 mg of t3 last Friday after I was feeling buzzed.

Dont feel buzzed lately, but feel bad. Should I drop more? I have

felt low cortisol a little today. I am currently at 35 HC

> Yes I would lower it further with these symptoms. It could be that

som receptors oopened up and now too much is available in the cells.

Or ti stil could be adrenal stress, but either way lowering the dose

should reduce the symptoms.

Ok, will do. One more question. We are leaving tomorrow for vacation

and the grandkids will be there. One of them has been sick. With the

high t3, if I were to get sick, would I need to do anything differently

with stress dosing? Could it get me in trouble to stress dose?

Hi Val,

Just got my rt3 results. It was 46 pg ml. I am not at home and

don't have a printer and cant remember what the range was. But is was

low out of range. My ft3 was 6.44. After I got all the other

results and the total t3 and free t3 were so high, I cut back from 90

to 75 for a day or so. Still felt awful and didn't take any for 2

days, now back on a little. I am thinking of try 50 like you said

and see how that works. Today only 25. I'm not sure if the

receptors cleared some, or a cortisol thyroid imbalance. I feel much

better without all that t3 in there. How long would it take to get

it back down? What do you make of the ratio?

That's what I thought. Does the ratio between t3 and rt3 mean

anything once you start on all t3? I am on 35 mg of HC, so it seems

like that would be enough. Would that high a level of free t3 have

cleard out the receptors? And I wonder if I drop to 50 and my own

thyroid kicks back in if there will be more rt3 made.
