Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi Val, Over the last few weeks, I've noticed I've been going hypoT much faster than usual between dose increases. In fact, it seems like I've regressed a little. Granted, my most recent increases have been on the smaller side - 5 to 7.5mcg each - to bring me to my current 112.5mcg Cytomel. But, up until recently, the time between my increases has been about 10 days. Now it seems like every three days I need to increase. I'm on 40mg HC, temps are stable between 98.1 and 98.3. BP sometimes drops by two points when I stand, but usually nothing more than that. Also, oddly enough, over the past few weeks I've gotten my first cold in three years, and my first yeast infection in 20 years. What do you think is happening? Thanks, Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hey Val, So my temps have gone sky high today...98.7. Yesterday was 98.2. I cut the HC down by 5mg and T3 by 12.5 as you suggested. Now what's happening, do you think? > > You will know by monitoring what happesn when you raise the T3 again if > temps lower, or symptms of lwo cortils if you get those.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hmm, the only real symptoms I noticed today were feeling hot (oh surprise) and maybe flushed a little. I also had a couple of instances of ringing ears. I didn't take my pulse during the afternoon, but sitting here right now (and I've been rushing around doing stuff) is 82. I also realized that I might be starting to ovulate, too. I'm pretty close to when I would, but not sure since last month's was a little early. > > Yo9u undid some resistance, now we nee dto figuer out if ti was high > cortils or high T3 that did it.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I would lower the T3 as that is a bit too high for free T3 . -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 i did lower the T3. if you check back, you'll see that you recommended i lower both the T3 and the HC because i was at a high dose of both but with low temps and seemed stuck. are you saying i should lower it more? or has the thread gone on too long and it's now confusing? now, again if you check back, you'll see that i was questioning after lowering the hc my temps spiked and then dropped. two days after the spike, yesterday, my period started. so, now i'm wondering if it was my cycle and not low cortisol. should i still raise the hc back up, as you suggested after the drop in temps? or should i see if it levels out? > > I would lower the T3 as that is a bit too high for free T3 . > > -- > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I would say to hold for a week at least or until you get some clarity. Watching for sympoms that temps are too low or irratic, or other symtoms that clarify what isd oging on good or bad. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 i was hoping you'd say that. any idea why my fT3 would be in the 800's and i'm still feeling hypo? > > All those symptoms sound to me like low thyroid so I would experiment > wiht a bit more thyroid. > > -- > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I've been at 40mg for quite some time, and my temps seem pretty stable although they have dropped since I lowered the T3. BP usually only drops by about 2pts when I stand, if it drops at all. Does low cortisol sound like a concern? It's just odd that my hypo symptoms return when I drop the T3, temps don't raise. What is the deal with T1? I've never heard of it... I know you said you haven't read about it, but what do you know of it? Is it something that would cause these symptoms? > > I DO believe there are other forms of thyroid resistance besides RT3. > and one possibility that I have never read abotu but sounds plausibl > could be too high T1.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Both T2 and T1 are metanolized form T3 T2 has similar effects to T3 but T1 is the calming thyr9id hormone that actually undoes some of the effects and I have read that isolated in tests done on rats it literally puts them to sleep. It doe s nto anesthetize them, juts totally relaxes them. SoI imagine it is another of the body's safeguards (liek RT3) to too much thyrod. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
