1 grains is somewhere near 25mcg Cytomel, but for me it was closer to

about 37.5mcg T3 for 1 grain.

I am totally confused, sinking into hypo these last few days and only the

TMG is keeping me out of bed I think.

I was on 62.5 T3 until today when I raised another 12.5 mcg.

I cannot remember what you told me to do Val i.e. was I to swap on egrain

Armour for 25 T3?

But then you said to raise 12.5 every 3/4 days?

??????????? HELP!

For the initial swap of T3 for Armrou a STARTING place is 25MCG for each

grain you replace, then you need to adjust the T3 UP til you get rid of all

hypo

symptoms . When adjusting it up I used 12.5mcg every abotu 4 days till I no

longer felt hypo.

So to swap over from 3.5 grains Armour, I would start by losing one grain

and swapping 25 T3 for it?

And then for the next 2.5 grains I should have done what exactly? The same?

And how long should i have waited before swapping the second one grain for

another 25 mcg.

Oh I have made a mess of this Val.

changed out 1 grain a week then as the T4 left my system and I started

takes abotu 6 weeks for all the T4 to leave so you just can't change out

an even 25mcg for each grain as you WILL go hypo once that T4 is gone

later on.

so I should be on 87.5 T3 as and from today but I am only on 75 with extra

12.5 I added in today.

Is it unwise to take any more on top of that extra 12.5 I am already taking

today? another 12.5?

I need to get out of here fast! I read your last email 7 times and I still

don't fully understand what it says.

thanks.

Hi again Val

I changed out 1 grain a week

Am I understanding this right? We don't say changed out over here so I need

to check. Do you mean you swapped one grain for 25 mcg and then a week later

you did the same thing again and again until you were no longer taking any

Armour at all?

then as the T4 left my system and I started

feeling hypo from it

This is when you stopped all the Armour? Were you taking 6 grains which

would equal the six weeks it takes for the Armour to run down?

I kept adding in T3 at 12.5mcg every 3-4 days

OK, I get this.

It

takes abotu 6 weeks for all the T4 to leave so you just can't change out

an even 25mcg for each grain

Did you not say above that you DID change out one grain of Armour for 25 T3?

as you WILL go hypo once that T4 is gone

later on

What does this mean Val?

thanks.

Hi again Val

All it means is that the 25mcg T3 is NOT equal to 1 grain of Armoru but

it is a starting point.

OK

What you start with and you WILL need quite a

bit more T3 to even the dose up as the T4 leaves your system.

OK

You can

adjust it up by 12.5MCG daily as hypo as you feel.

OK.

Check your temps and

pulse daily.

Yes I do this every day as it is.

If your pulse starts going too high, over 90 you probably

have enough T3 adn need to wait a few days to feel the dose.

OK

If your

temps start going over 99 BACK it up by 12.5 adn give it 3 days at least

to see if thta works.

OK.

That is seriously helpful Val. Thank you so very much.

How do you figure 37.5 micrograms? Isn't the .5 guestimate, unrealistic?

As is the 12.5? How do you measure .5?
