What is going on?

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

I'm struggling - again. I'm having symptoms to which I usually associate with

low cortisol; however, I've gone up to the dose I was on (40mg) starting a year

ago and feeling like I'm not getting enough. But, if I take an extra dose here

or there, it doesn't seem to help.

I recently switched back to T3 after my first attempt to go back to NT caused

rT3 problems again. I've played around with the T3 dose somewhat, and, as I

said, raised the HC to 40. My temps are low (98) but stable; yet, at points

throughout the day I'm disabled by anxiety, anger, frustration, dark, depressed

thoughts, back hurts, no appetite, diarrhea, etc. Today my left arm started to

feel tingly, I'm sleeping, but not feeling like it's very well. I cry at the

drop of a hat - I have the thinnest skin known to mankind at this point.

Last week you suggested that I drop the T3 somewhat as my pulse was sort of

high. I dropped from 62mcg to 56.5mcg T3. Is it possible that I'm on too much

HC? I understand that high and low cortisol symptoms can mimic each other. I

would love for that to be the answer...

I'm confused as to why this is happening - I'm doing the exact thing I did when

I went to T3 only the first time. Why am I having this level of difficulty?

Thanks,

Tara
