When to start Thyroid-S-

[Guest guest]

Mornin Val,

I'm only on my seventh day of HC, but yesterday in the afternoon felt like a mac

truck had hit me...all of a sudden was overcome by the need to sleep.

Taking HC as per STTM dosing instructions:

2.5 - 7:30AM

2.5 - 11:30AM

2.5 - 3:30PM

I'm not taking any thyroid meds...weaned off those for three weeks due to

thyroid dump prior to starting HC.

The only thing I can think of is that I had an emotional shock yesterday in the

late AM. Do you think this would have caused me to plummet like this? Or could

this be just the timing of the remaining T4 and T3 in my system finally being

used up?

I take it that I am not supposed to add in thyroid hormones until I am on at

least 20 mgs of HC and have held that dose until most symptoms, palps and

fatigue, sleep issues (dreaming, but waking up at 3-4AM) have plateaued?

Thanks,

OPK you can't have a thyroid dump wihtout added cortiosl, so what happened,

exactly? Hyper symptoms? If so this was simply your adrenals dumping out

adrenaline when they had no more cortisol trying to handle the T3 in the

thyroid. NOT the same as a thyroid dump. I would start the Armour back but very

slowly. Cortisol uses up thyroid so you need to add some back in if you start

having vey hypo symptoms and it sounds liek you are. Maybe start 15MG and if

that goes weel, add another 25MG in a separate dose next week. Continue building

the HC up as you go.
