Re: Anyone on just T3 for a long time

[Guest guest]

>Anyone just take T3 and nothing else longer than needed to lower Reverse T3?

How long and at what dose do you take?

I'm staying on T3 only permanently now, I was on 125 and have just

tried an increase to 137.5.

Resistance cleared a couple of months ago now, I was on 225 to 250 of

T3 before it cleared. Before that I was on 12 grains of Armour.

Wow, Nick. That is quite a lot of Armour and quite a lot of T3 too. And I'm

sitting here wondering what my little 37.5mcgs is possibly going to do to me

long term.

THanks.

TY. So one can stay on T3 forever with no ill effects? This is what I'm trying

to figure out. I'm on low dose still and I stopped my Synthroid after only using

it 4 weeks b/c I was getting weird mood swings and depression and I'm gaining

weight too.

I am thinking of trying the Erfa. But I have to wait on my last lab report to

see what the T3 level and RT3 is right now.

Great. I'm thinking of doing T3 only myself. I am interested in Dr. Lowe as

well. I will read his site more thoroughly.

So then, when you get to that tipping point where the pooled T3 puts you into

hyperthyroid, hyper will only last two days?

Nick,

Thanks for your response. I am really scared about doing T3 only. My doctor, who is not familiar with this particular technique, was really scared for me to do it based on temps. She had a patient who did the protocol who ended up hospitalized with extreme tachy. I don't think she knows about the AF connection, fully, although she sort of treats that as well.

Anyway, my point is, I am really scared doing this. I am up to 37.5 mcgs (divided doses), and with the advice here, I'm not having such bad palps as I was when I tried a modified 's and got up to 25 mcgs. But I am still scared. I've never in my life had to depend so heavily on a prescription med to get by. Scared. I am currently doing this without the guidance of a doctor (spent all my money on doctors trying to figure this out, ended up figuring it all out on my own).

Eventually, when I have a lot more money, I want to go back to my current doctor and start educating her. She is incredibly open to learning, and is a holistic allopath. Just, out of network and therefore expensive.

Thanks for all your help.

Nick, Thanks for your encouragement, and for sharing your experiences. You, Val

and these forums are a Godsend!

Yah, I have pooped adrenals, and I don't think my doc was able to adequately

treat them...It's just amazing what I've learned here in the past few months. I

look back over my labs for the past 3 - 4 years and recognize so much more now!

So much makes sense now.
