An Ah Ha moment

[Guest guest]

Hi

I've had a varied week thyroid wise but had an " Ah Ha moment " .

As you know my resistance cleared nicely on T3 at the 11 week mark and

I stabilised on around 125 of T3 spread in 5 or more doses through the

day.

As I was low on T3 I introduced some Natural back into things and had

got to around 75 of T3 plus 3 grains. I was then experimenting with

the optimum time of day to take the natural.

My dosing had settled at 25 on waking, 25 at 10am, and 3 grains at

lunchtime. That was then seeing me through pretty well to bedtime when

I was taking 25.

On Thursday I skipped the natural and just had the 50 spread through

the morning and the 25 at bed time. I did really well all afternoon

remaining fog free and my temperature was still 36.8 at bed time

indicating that it had held up well and that the residual T3 from the

previous day must have been in the system and converting still.

Out of curiosity yesterday I tried taking the morning T3 in one dose

of 50. I had no hyper symptoms at all and felt a bit hypo by mid

morning so took 2 grains at 11am and another at lunchtime and was

still feeling less good than the previous day.

I had the afternoon off yesterday and had an afternoon nap that I had

trouble waking up after. The interesting part is that my temperature

when I went to bed at 3pm was 36.1.

Temperature was up to 36.5 at bed time and I took 12.5 at 6pm and 25

at bedtime sleeping well after that.

I woke this morning with a temperature of 36.5 which is higher than

normal for me, I tend to wake at 36.2 normally.

I've been contemplating why and my " Ah Ha " is that when I took the T3

all together in the morning this lowered my adrenal levels too low and

hence lowered temperature and stopped me utilising the T3 and Natural.

This may be the reason that I have found I need to spread my T3

through the day more than some people are reporting that they have to,

I'm on the edge for adrenals when I thought they were OK. My

temperatures don't normally bounce, they normally drift slowly through

the day. It must be that I have learnt to live on the edge of the

adrenal levels available thinking I was skirting the edge of hyper.

I have ordered the saliva test kit, my next thought is " how shall I

dose " on the day I use it. I am tempted to take 50 of T3 in the

morning that day and get the figures for a day when they are working

hard rather than a day when I am nice to them.

Has anyone any thoughts on that???

Sorry about the rather long post
