Re: Urgent rT3-question!!! (low body temps!) Val, adrenal advice please

December 3, 2009

Thanks, I hope so too... It's what I dream of every single day!

I must have had a throat infection abuot 8 years ago, that's when my tonsils got

these cavities in them, and I started removing those white lumps from them (the

bad smelling ones) - A specialist told me I need to " remove " (fix with lazer) my

tonsils. Cause they looks very bad, he says. He also said that 90% of all people

who remove their bad tonsils feel 100% healthy again after this. Some even have

Hypo symptoms which go away after they fix their tonsils. My tonsils can't heal,

they are messed up for life. I better fix them ASAP. Oh yeah, I had an infection

in my tonsils last year, got the flu, and almost died from this! I had the

highest possible fever before you die. It was SOOO scary! I was sure this is it.

This happened right after an idiot doctor removed my T3-med.

I have taken Synthetic T4 every single day sinec May 1997. But I've never been

on such a low dose as I am today: 50 mcg. It's a new record since 1997! Let's

hope this works...!!!

Got my FT3 today! No rT3. It's due for release tomorrow. Anyway, my FT3 was 6.4,

which is an increase from November 9th when I did my last bloodwork; 5.9. So, if

rT3 has gone down, things are looking better. If rT3 has gone up, well, then it

doesn't matter if FT3 is going up as well. I look forward to do the ratio.

CHF?

I've mentioned it before. In the past 2 1/2 years (as long as I've felt

stressed) I've gotten a weird sensation in my chest. Especially if I do physical

exercise (like having sex is a good example), my chest feels weird. Like it's

hard to breathe. Like something is holding back in there, especially near the

" top " of the lungs. Now, I've also fels, every single morning (and more and more

lately, all thru the day!) that something is vibrating/tickling in my lungs when

I take my first deep breaths in the morning.

Theory:

Can this be actually rT3, ever since early 2007 (and who knows, maybe earlier

than that, too!) raising T4 thus stopping T3 from working in my cells?

OR do the FT3 level have to go down visually in the blood before we can say this

is rT3 pushing it down? How does that work?

Anyway. I am worried about CHF, fluid retention and stuff like that. My legs are

NOT retaining water. My thighs are retaining something (mucus? fat? water?) as

well as my tummy, my whole upper body except my arms, and my face is getting

fatter too.

BTW, as for HC: Can HC give a person CHF? While on 20 mg?

I am just a little worried, becuase I took the first walk outside today, and

just came home now. I was out for 10 minutes, and it became a little harder

breathing towards the end of the walk.

This sounds liek just hypothyroid. CHF comes after months of BAD fluid

retenoiton in hands face adn feet.

Yeah, so there are warning signs.

However, looking back at my teens, from 1991 to 1997 (when I finally got T4-meds

and lost all my excess weight) I remember being severely bloated, all over my

body. I got more and more problems with tachycardia. And one evening (this was

the final blow that made my mother and father really start the hunt for a

diagnose) - I ate a full sized restaurant pizza all by myself (that's how big my

bell was), with a huge bottle of pop. After finishing the meal, I felt something

happened in my heart (and it did, too) and boom, I got tachycardia. It lasted

for almost 2 hours (!!!) and it was, up til then in my life, the worst

experience, ever! I'm just thinking... I could've been close to CHF back then!

For real. I just hope I will avoid it now!

I was just thinking about rT3 and... If I've had Adrenal Fatigue for 2 1/2

years, I might very well have had rT3 issues this long too. If taking Synthetic

T4 already is bad (we know it ain't the best med out there), then rT3 could've

blocked my T3 and started fluid retention in my lungs, slow, over these 2 1/2

years... Does that make any sense?

Also, can somebody tell me how rT3 works again? Does a growing rT3 lower the FT3

in the blood, OR block T3 from entering the cells? Or both?
