Lab results.update fri 13th march 09

[Guest guest]

Thanks Val for the valuable feedback.

No,I was on Armour 4.5grains Only (FT4 reading of 29.9) range 11/22 here)

Soo, took myslef off the Amrour for 5dys for retesting,,,and with NO T3 supplementation, I went waaaaaaaaaay down emotionally.

As you probably know,no lab here in the U.K does RT3 testing,thats why Dr P 2 weeks ago now,

advised lowering the Armour right down,to 3grains,and I lowered it again to 2.5 in the past week,and with your help and 4hrly T3 dosing ,I am slowly coming back fromt the edge:)

I was able to get 8hrs uninterrupted sleep last nite wowowow!!!!!!

Woke at 6am,and didn't take any T3 to tide me over to my 7.30 H/C,as

my mental state felt ok,ie NO big feelings... still feel a

little startled,but its decreasing,and am hoping to feel "refreshed" on waking

in a few days if my av' temps stay within .1..2 range of previous day....

Soo, my H/C dosing today will be

7.30 10mgs (increase of 5mgs there) hope it ill stop the weepiness around 11am..

10am 5mgs T3

11am 10mgs H/C external stressor.carer for bathing me. Aiming to eliminate some of this care when i start physical therapy end of next wk,(in my home).

1pm 5mgs T3 external stressor carer to help me with my lunch.

2pm 5mgs H/C Exrenal stressor.Vets ~siamese girl for yrly check up.someone driving me.

4pm 5mcgs T3

10pm 5mgs H/C

Waking Temp am 36.0 (97.0)
