Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 OK....my temps. have been averaging 98.6 for the three days I've been averaging, but it's the last half of my cycle and they're usually higher, I think. Should I wait until after my period to see if bbt is still low or should I just go ahead and raise thyroid? T wrote: Raising thyroid is what you need to do.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I would raise it a bit as I found that once I reached 98.6 I could still go up some with thyroid and have it still be good annot too high. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 OK..... I am on 1 grain of Westhroid and 31.25 mcg. of Cytomel....I have stayed that low on the Westhroid because initially when I was on 1 1/2 grains my T4 shot up to the top of the range. So I went on Cytomel, up to 50 mcg. then T3 went over the top of the range. On my last blood test on 1 gr. Westhroid and 37.5 mcg., T3 was still over top of range and T4 was at the bottom of the range. Do you think I should raise Westhroid or Cytomel?

T4 should be midrange. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hi Val, So I raised by 1/4 gr. of Westhroid on Friday and now I actually feel somewhat worse. Temps. are not steady anymore, all I want to do it sleep, > brain fog. Is it possible that the raise just stressed my adrenals (I've never been able to stress dose without getting sick from it) and I just need to wait it out? T wrote: >>On my last blood test on 1 gr.

If you are on a good dose of HC for you and even that tiny increase causes you serious problems it is liekly to be high RT3 causing toxicity. You could go bakc to old Westhroid dose and get temps level agfain and try raising the T3. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yes, at first, In May, it was 206 (90-350)....after about 4 months of 1 gr. of Westhroid and from 25 - 50 mcg. of Cytomel, In Sept., it was 161 (90-350). alerie wrote: >> So I raised by 1/4 gr. of Westhroid on Friday and now I actually feel somewhat worse.
