Re: Urgent rT3-question!!! (low body temps!)

> My specialist thinks, because my FT3 was so high at the time (I was on 100 mcg

T4 and 40 mcg T3, full dose, same dose I had for years before that) of the

atrial fibrillation, that T3 wasn't reaching into my cells because of ADRENAL

FATIGUE.

Well I am on plenty of HC so my adrenals are supported. My RT3 problem is long

gone and shortness of breath much improved, but still there. I have as much T3

as my body can use, but it is not enough. I think there is some cellular

deficiency or maybe mitochondrial damage. Gerson emphasized the need for

potassium in supporting ATP production of energy. So I am finding that potassium

helps with shortness of breath. My hormones are all low so that probably

contributes, but at the moment I have no one to help with that.

Nick, Val,

I just read your conversations with me to my parents, who already are shocked

about how bad the health systems work in every country in the world, even in

Norway, the richest and best country in the world (according to statistics) -

They were impressed with your knowledge, about rT3, adrenals, dessicated etc.

And we are all ready to FIGHT that bad and evil health system when I recover!

Thank you.

Agree with everything you say Nick.

And you can count on me - I will spent the rest of my life helping

other people in similar situations, as well as maybe even becoming

a doctor (a real one, not a crappy one as most are!) and try to

REALLY help people with these issues! I am reading books about these

things these days. A lot.

ONE question about rT3: If I have rT3-problems, won't my temperature

be affected by it, like, ALL of the time? Like now for example...

My temperature has been pretty much 98.6 all day long, with the

exception of one measurement at 98.3 earlier today. What can this

mean? That I don't have an rT3-issue afterall?

[Guest guest]

My temperatures have been stable all thru this year, even before I started

taking HC. I measure my temps 3 times every day orally. (following

www.drrind.com's system) And they (the average pr day) are pretty much within

those 0.2 degrees (or 0.1 C).

However, my basal oral morning temps are maybe a bit low. at 97.5.

Been a member of the club since 1991!

intake? I haven't really increased my T4 now anyway, but dessicated thyroid is

more bio-available, like 20-30% from what I've read, so maybe I have more T4 in

my now anyway?

Can rT3 increase WITHOUT adrenal fatigue? So I've heard... I did have many

symptoms (stress, shaking hands, etc.) from getting AF in May 2007, so I wonder

if AF might have given me higher rT3 from getting that first burst of high

cortisol, before AF kicks in and gave me lower cortisol later.

Thanks, Nick. I'll get there one day! Be sure about that!

Three days ago, I woke up feeling ice cold with a basal oral temp at 96.6 (35.9

C) - I had all the Hypo symtoms that morning, and that's why I wrote in this

group that day, with the Subject-line above.

I am taking blood samples for rT3++ tomorrow.

What if my rT3 hasn't changed, or even become better?

My ratio (STTM) is 15.5 based on my 9/11/2009 bloodwork.

Is that ratio low enough to go on with T3-only (T3/HC protocol)

treatment?
