[Guest guest]

When I switched from Armour to T3 I swapped out each grain wiht 25mcg T3

then had t raise from there. So that gives oyu a starting figure anyeway.

Okay, thanks. I am going to try it today. Did you switch all the same

day, one dose at a time, or how did you do it?

Could you give me more details? Did you replace the one grain of one

dose time? Like the 2nd scheduled dose of 1 grain of Armour would be

replaced with the T3? Or did you spread it out in one day? A little

change with each scheduled dose? Like 1/4 grain each time throughout

the day? Am I making sense? I guess I want to make sure I'm doing

the best thing. I took my 3/4 grain upon rising, then replaced my

11am dose of Armour with 6.25 T3. Do I take 1/4 grain of Armour the

next two doses or do I replace them with T3? What is the safest?

Thank you for your help.

Val,

After taking my afternoon dose I got very hot and my body really

swelled up. My hands and feet were swollen and red. It was after

taking my hc. I took the hc and then took the Armour 20 minutes later.

Is it from the Rt3 in my blood? or too much hc?

Here's a recap so you don't have to scroll through past posts.

Started hc and Armour 2 years ago. Lowered hc from 40mg to 20mg, 5mg

4x/day. I could not stress dose (super fast heart racing, trouble

breathing), gaining weight, swollen feet 24/7 and still had hypo

symptoms. I had to lower my thyroid meds during the process, never

optimized. So we decided I may have high RT3, which made sense when

you told me about it. I replaced 1/4 grain of Armour with 6.25mcg of

T3 to my 1st dose and kept taking 1/4 grain 3 times a day. I felt good

for the 1st week but in the afternoon felt so tired and cranky. I

added more T3 to my 1st dose to make it a total of 12.5mg and no Armour.

I felt fine. Not extra energy, not tired.

So, what could cause my sweating and hot, red swelling? Could I lower

my last hc dose some more? Not sure what to do. My blood pressure is

fine. 117/76. My temp is never over 97.8. Any ideas?

Thank you!

I would raise the Cytomel. Your BO is not showing high cortiosol and your temps

are still hypo, and hypo can cause the same kind of swelling.
