Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 So, Val, increasing the HC would help with the adverse reactions? I feel like my temps have been pretty stable on 25 mg of HC except when my heart starts going crazy, then my temps. are not stable (with higher doses of T3). > > THAT SOUNDS LIEK ADRENAL REACTIONS. > > -- > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I am beginning to wonder if those who need high doses of T3 are sort of in a different category of HC supplementation, in that I think we might need more HC than most people to support the high doses of T3. This is what it seems like in my case. I have the same problems-high heart rate but temps still not high enough... Liz W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 are you hypo as well? what do you do about it? is it just palpitions that you experience? are you on hc? i was on synthroid for year and frankly i never felt there was any difference from taking it. then i heard about the hc thing, got on that, then armour , then my whole system is whacked out. i was better off before . i had no energy but at least i could predict how i was going to feel. > I " m interested in the answer to this as well.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi I started off able to tolerate Armour but then 'lost' that ability about the time i was on 10mg HC - I tried going up and up on the HC, up to about 40mg and it got worse and worse, but since going back down on HC, I now can tolerate Naturethroid and T3.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Val, I have increased my HC to 30 mg and taken 50mcg of T3 yesterday and today, split up into 3 doses. My chest is still a bit achy, but so much better. My temps the last 2 days have been 97.5, and 97.3, so low, but fairly stable. Should I stay here for awhile and as long as my temps are stable try and raise my T3 again in a week or so to get my average temp at 98.6? Thanks so much for the help! in CA > > Hi > > I started off able to tolerate Armour but then 'lost' that ability about the time i was on 10mg HC - I tried going up and up on the HC, up to about 40mg and it got worse and worse, but since going back down on HC, I now can tolerate Naturethroid and T3. > > Chris > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 what should i do about my hypo-ness? i am taking 35-40 mg hc. i dropped down to one grain armour but still had a reaction. i can try to slowly go down in hc but that will take a while and in the meantime i will have to go thyroidless. my temps are super low , in fact they have been all through this experiment. low 97s. so am i not absorbing any thyoid anyway?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 my ferritin is low but when i first started armour 2 months ago i was doing fine with it and hc. it happened sort of suddenly so it doesn't seem logical it's ferritin. is there a reason that you can think of? right now i am stopping thyroid but i feel terrible.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I can'timagine what you have read here that would put you off T3 asd most of us are ON it. You can become intolerant of Armoru whne you have too high Reverse T3 and it can cause some horrible symptoms such as extreme anxiety, extreme hypothyroid (worse tha you were before starting thyroid meds) and fluid retenton and really bad brain fog. but the amnxiety and adrenal symtmos are the worst. this is all form adding in more T4 which creates mroe Rt3. I find T3 to be VERY safe. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
